Three figure speeds came up accidentally several times today. Honest.
:D
Best bit is from Stokesley to Whitby, A171, smooth, fast, twisty FANTASTIC! I'm just over the border from you in West Yorks, Woodhead road and Glossop are a few mins from me and nice spots for a quick blat.

Back to the revs. Last few mornings I've noticed a bit of reluctance to rev when cold, bit of hesitation around 4k revs when I go for the power passing cars, it's fine when warmed up but I never noticed this before. Anyone else? Could just be due for a service coming up to 11K miles?
