Gilera DNA.org

Took the bike to my usual (proper Gilera) dealer to sort the stalling problem and generally look over the bike and bring it up to scratch as much as possible. Moral to everyone here – there was nothing wrong except the drive belt had not been changed probably ever. I’m not even that surprised about this, it seems to be de rigueur that DNA’s are ‘maintained’ like this.

Bike’s still spluttering but I think that’s just the inevitable result of it’s previous lack of care. Otherwise sound and smooth and remains a solid fun bike. It’s been out on the M25 and M1 today in the bright sunshine, me in my leathers, lots of glances from bemused old men (I remember when a Gilera was a 500cc motorcycle blah, blah…) yeah it felt good!
