The greatest Day

Postby hellboyrich » Mon Jul 14, 2014 2:39 pm

Hi guys

Just thought i would share this very special moment
:lol:

After a knee op the Old man has made an amazing recovery and was down last month to visit we were blessed with great weather on the Sunday Morning and Dad was up for a ride together.

So with great excitment from me as i thought Dad was never going to do this as both bikes are heavy to handle for even a mildly fit chubby bloke like me let alone a 78 yr old pensioner. hee hee

i wheeled the girls out fuelled them both and settled pop on the 1100s as its the more comfortable for him.

i live close to the cotswolds a there are some great roads around i took him on nice easy run as he has been riding for over sixty years he no novice but just wanted him to be comfortable no lunatic speeds or situations.

heres a couple of shots will add a few more later

:D

hello to all

thanks for the comments

yes he was looking at the 12 half way through the ride but couldnt get his leg over hee hee!!!

But that did'nt stop him having a ball the cheeky B******R came flying past me at well over a ton just before this picture hee hee awsome to watch and it was great to see the 11 on the road driven in anger sounded and looked mint.

The 12 is still on the standard end can,quiet as a mouse

However what turned up this morning but the ends cans from the depths of middle earth forged by hand by the hattech boys beautiful craftmanship been waiting since april :)

time for fitting :lol:

Postby hellboyrich » Thu Jul 17, 2014 7:03 am

Hello

Just posting some pics of the final part of the jigsaw the end cans fitted them Tuesday hardest part was getting the old can off the engineering and welding scream quality and all pieces fitted like a glove just a bit of mods for the electric tail light

Sound great maybe slightly loud as on had running in garage for 5 mins the baffle inserts are very long and do the job well took them out just to hear the sound :shock: it started to vibrate the garage roof f******g loud :twisted:

Here some shots
