Another quality outing on the Old bike yesterday in the canyons. Ran out of petrol for the second week in a row! This time right at the top of Topanga Canyon. Coasted all the way down and grabbed my mate’s arm for the last quarter mile to the gas station.
Incidentally, we swapped bikes for a bit - he’s got a 748. Never ridden one before, my bike feels a lot lighter and a bit quicker which was interesting. Despite an obviously much steeper steering angle, the 748 is hard work to turn. Makes all it’s power between 6-10k, where mine is between 4-8k. His needs some proper set up work and a fork rebuild but I can see why people liked them. Good road sports bike.
Much prefer my old stone hammer though.
