Well it happened. Geordie Guy (Ivan), Aircooled68 (Dave), Ivan's mate Chris on his BMW and myself turned up at a cold & windswept Melling tonight. Sadly Mrs Matlock had plans for the latter half of my evening, so I had to forgo the ride, but we had a chat then rode over to the far more pleasant bike meet at the Scotch Piper at Lydiate, 5 miles up the road where a far more mature crowd meet up. This is a good bike meet on a Wednesday night for future get togethers. Even with tonight's crap weather there was a good turnout, some stunning bikes and tea & coffee. The barbeque was being fired up as I left 
. Good to see you again Ivan & Chris and nice to meet you Dave (and thanks for the tea at the Scotch Piper 
). I have to say Dave's 850 is immaculate and has a great exhaust. My filthy bike was well and truly put to shame. 
Finally a picture for those of you who don't believe it happened without the piccy! Dave's on the left, Ivan's on the right. Dave's bike is in the middle, Ivan's is on the left and the yellow one is mine.

So that's "standing round looking thoughtful"?
But did you sort the problem?

Mmmmmmhhhhh.....
The exhaust is a fantastic 2-into1 full race pipe with the baffle removed. It was on the bike when Dave bought it, so my guess is the fuelling is slightly out. I have to say though it sounds fantastic. Ivan was stood behind it when Dave started her up and he nearly jumped out of his skin

It was good to meet up, again... F'in cold though.
Yep, Dave's 850 is a stunner, had a good listen and a point, and for me it I thought it just needed balancing.
I have to say, the two into one exhaust, sounded Fantastic !!!!! And Boy can it shift.....
The Hen & Chickens carpark is looking a bit worse for wear, there's more glass than tarmac.
That was my first time at the Scotch Piper,
much prefer it to the H & C. We should make that the meeting place in future.
Must do it again....
Cheers, Ivan
