    Sure. It's not a club anymore than UKRM is.

    FI doesn't stop my thou wicked backfires of its own accord if I nail it
    then let it trundle along on a closed throttle.

    Me neither, or at least not that I remember.

    I notice a lot of newer riders wearing hi-viz shit these days though so
    it wouldn't surprise me if the world had gone even wronger.

    and of course, there's nothing weird or anal about subscribing to a
    single-model owners web forum even when you no longer own that bike...

    heh.

    Actually, I did have 5-6 1-hour bike lessons, riding a borrowed CG125.

    Or continuing to subscribe to a news group about motorcycling when you
    never intend to ride one again...

    Mebbe he's wrong about your bike having FI, but he's right in the more
    genreal sense - a modern injected bike will _not_ do KSBs. If Ogden's
    is doing it by itself as he describes it's because something on it is
    fucked, probably a badly-matched aftermarket can or similar.

    mine was run out of a portakabin in Newtonards - don't think it was in
    any way "official".
    well, yeah, me too.

    Yeah, I have a suspicion it's running a bit rich with the standard can,
    may have had a race can fitted at some point in its life.

    I'm thinking more in commuter traffic, where things are slow, rather
    than in open countryside, where things may be a little quicker.
    Cyclists are narrow and have a deathwish, so can on occasions get
    through gaps I can't.
    I don't know, nor do I care, i'm in front of him, it's up to him how
    he avoids me ;)

    <bites again>

    It's a useful place for organising weekend ride-outs, since no **** here
    ever seems to want to do one.

    I did a day with CSM for my CBT, and a two day "course" with the same
    bunch (post-CSM) which mostly consisted of riding around like a twat
    with another bloke on our TZR125s while the instructor taught some no-
    hoper girl how to ride a bike.

    It was better than going to school.

    Case in point - that day you came and did a FOT on your SRAD, it was
    you, me and a whole bunch of SV orgers.

    Just go out on your own then. Organised events are OK, and quite fun
    for meeting people, but at the end of the day the ride is what you're
    there for, so just get on with it, you wuss.

    Fairly sure it was just you, me and the orgers. We finished up sat
    outside the England's Rose in the sun while you told tall stories.

    I do, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of socialising at each end of
    the ride.
