Yep, was a pearler of a day, and as Dennis says I was rapt that my little RM went so well. Made up for not being able to start the 500 (3 people also tried - nope, nuffink).
Yes, the piston did let go, or at least that's what it felt like. However, I will get the shocks sorted, get the PD valve into the forks, and put my nice new barrel on it, and next year I will be back to have a serious go at this Pre 78 125 thing. Bring it on...
In the meantime, looking forward to Clarence!
