Been doing quite a few miles over the winter to give the new engine a good running in and set up before the MOT.
Well today was the day and I'm pleased and relieved to say that Mog passed with flying colours.
To be honest I was nervous about the emissions testing and whether I had got the ECU calibrated well enough with the new settings.
Needn't have worried though as it sailed through with even better emission numbers than the older 1800 engine.
Now I can relax and just enjoy the extra power.
Next run on Friday to get new tyres fitted.

Been a couple of weeks since I drove Duchess as work and study commitments have taken over. But working from home today and the sun was shining so had to take a long lunch and we went out & about around the Chiltern hills. 26 miles up through the lanes in and around Chinnor and Bledlow Ridge really enjoyed myself and blew away some cobwebs. Chinnor high street is a really good place to place to test out the new bump stops  thanks to the venerable Roger Jones. As a newbie to Mogging, ( first 500 miles under the belt) I learnt a valuable lesson on the need to avoid roadkill as Buckinghamshire fat pheasants don't fit too well under the old girl. Suppose I'll have to take a look and if the chassis need cleaning up  Still need to to tinker with the bumps stops and fit the new door stays which arrived today  . Rgds Lumpy

We had very rainy wether for a lot of weeks. Today was the first nice day since several weeks. It was cold (+2) but sunny. I had to prepare (new battery, steam wash.. ) one of my bikes for a fotosession and interview by a well known german oldtimer magazin on Saturday. So I took the chance to make a short drive with the 4/4 to look for some locations where the photographer and the journalist can make the foto shooting. It was a great pleasure. Exceptionally good weather has been announced also for Saturday. So  suggested a trip with the 4/4. But I had to confess to her that I have to drive the bike....

Great pre-Storm Ciara run along E Devon lanes in bright sunshine - not even particularly cold!
