Ya know what? when the C5 is good and hot it has a certain smell too, not bad at all
I spilt some oil over the engine when changing it for the first time and you know you can never wipe it all off. Following the test ride the bike had that brilliant old oily smell as it was cooling and ticking in the garage. For the next couple of rides I'd wipe the engine over with an oily rag before setting off
Us Brits are never happy, we long for an engine without oil leaks and when we get one we pour oil over it.
It seems such a long time ago now though
You tried any sustained highway work yet R80T? Just wondered what sort of realistic cruising speed you can achieve. My guess is that a speedo 70 should be ok.
