Sad as in an Anorak (a very English expression), far too much obscure motorcycle trivia in my head and also sad because I'm not biking at the moment due to a little ill health. More blood tests and a CT scan to come, once the quack has nailed what's wrong I've got big plans for the XS, advance the camshaft 3 degrees for more midrange grunt, and a bump in compression at the same time, permanent magnet alternator conversion (field coil generators are rubbish), rebuilt wheels with stainless spokes and new exhausts. I'm aiming for 65-70 rear wheel BHP, the starting point was 50 BHP (gross) at the flywheel.
