Sorry to say ladies and gents l have to cancel as l had a chat with Mike the landlord and he said there is no way it can happen this year as they will not even be able to get barrels in until they start of September and the restrictions will not let camping or mass groups in any way. Next year we w...

Pleased you got that sorted.

What pressure did the pop on at? Did you have to go to 50psi?

Nope, nowhere near to be honest - the front seated properly as I was pumping up to a setting of 40 psi. I reckon it was somewhere around 30

SUCCESS!!

Okay, so four years later and I'm on the home straight with the Z1R but this is the latest drama!
