new delivery
Well i took ownership of my 696+, late yesterday afternoon, nearly didnt get to the dealer due to Bristol's rush hour traffic, had a pleasant and safe journey back along the A420, roll on that first service, (why dont manufactures pre-run in engines?) 5000RPM how restricting is that, although i did read in the manual (yes i know a man reading a manual, how strange, especially as it aint broke) you can go to 5500-6000RPM, so i will be utilising those extra 1000RPM today.
I will try and get some pic's on today, would of done it last night, but i was forced to go for a spin out to Avebury and surrounding area's. Cheers for now Jeff |

Well done and a good colour choice. CK has had fun running hers in and still able to get some speed up.

Strongly Agree.

Concentrate, here comes the science bit... Doppler Effect dictates that things move towards the red end of the spectrum when they are moving away from you i.e. faster. Q.E.D. Red is the faster colour. Meanwhile... congrats Foresterone! |
