Cup of Tea 4/AMRR

-
With the AMRR being cancelled for a second year again and this year not being converted to a "non-attendance rally" it means I have a weekend free again.

I look forward to the ride up to Cambridge Services to meet the hundreds of other bikers that want to pay their respects to the men and women of the US Airforce and Army Air Corps that were lost during WW2.

It might mean that if the weather is good that I can get out and finish the "Cup of Tea" challenge this weekend.  Since the very hot weather a few weeks ago we have seen "summer finish" with lower temperatures and loads of rain and even thunderstorms.  

I have rapidly become a fair weather rider.

One other fly in the ointment is that the Kettle "Suzi Triplo" goes into a local shop on Friday to have the carbs cleaned!  It would seem that the pilot jets may be blocked or partially blocked and the bike stalls when on low revs. Pretty annoying after all the work that has been done.

After a trip to the FIM Rally in the Czech Republic in 1995 with a riding partner on a Suzuki Savage, I had begun to think that although not actually my cup of tea, with real perseverance, these bikes could be more than 'canteen cowboy' outfits. Near Loch Ness So it was with a bit of trepidation that I picked the bike up from Ken Fulton, the SOC's magazine Editor (at the time), who had in turn ...
