Took the H2 out for a shakedown run this morning - apart from the usual carb sync and filter clean, this year I bought some IKON shocks for the rear end.

What a difference in ride quality, glad I bought them, had the usual smokescreen for the first few miles but once it cleared it ran perfectly.

A little later I took the MZ out - raised the needle a notch since the last ride as it was a bit on the weak side.

I am so pleased that I persevered with it, the ride is silk smooth and it really goes well for a simple piston port 2 stroke.

Looking forward to putting some miles on it this year.

No more riding for the day, have some garden stuff to do as well as having my old Mum over for an hour this afternoon.
