and paul, if you still have that old white spring mille shock kicking around - you never did fit it! I have some one who wants it.....

I still have the same mobile number - bet you don't!

and hows life? new bike going well?

Ah yes.....the white Mille shock.

It went with the bike and Meb being far more 'performance oriented' than I got it serviced and set up by the oh so well renowned crew at MCT....

We fitted it and upon the test ride it nearly threw him off. They had left the pre load wound completely off and it bottomed out on the first corner he took. He wasn't much impressed and having complete faith in the MCT assumed that the shock must be rubbish. Eventually we sussed it and he seems happy enough now.

Interestingly he gave me back the blue Sachs as somewhat unbelievably they are considered a prime upgrade for the Raptor

Anyway I'm very happy with the Rap although I don't think the much fabled TL engine is a match for the Rotax - not in low to mid range anyway.

Am off to flog a blue spring on the raptor forums....

(and glad the old shock got used!)

Right then..

I met Rick yesterday (nice to meet ye dude

) and noticed the tail-tidy on his Falco is of quite a nice design. He mentioned it's one of the ones from "German eBay".. Does anyone have a spare one, or one they wouldn't mind sending to me to copy? They're pretty much what I was looking to achieve I'm pretty sure I could get these knocked up over here fairly cheaply..
