    YOC Meet 22

    in Events, Rideouts & Trackdays

    Posted

    Well I'm out. 'No surprise there' a few of the regulars will think. But.....this year I have the perfect, if totally unwanted, excuse. Back in early December I ended up contracting a rare brain infection, autoimmune encephalitis which resulted in me taking a full seizure and spending Xmas in hospital, and I'm going back in this Monday because my treatment plan is not as effective as the Drs hoped it would be.

    Anyway long story boring, I've had to surrender my licence and the neurologist said he won't support a return for at least 9 months. I've also had to stick in for IHR at work as he won't support a return there either.

    Positive being he believes a good recovery will happen  so not all doom and gloom.

    Happy to keep involved with the forum  so keep this about the 22 meet.

    I find your description quite vague (although that may well be me, so no offence meant) but can you post pictures of the issue. Do the cables and wires connecting to the switches not fit, are they too short or just a completely incorrect fixing. Is it the bars that are too wide meaning you have to try and stretch the cables and wires. If so try a narrower set of bars on it. That way you can at least get some fun out of it whilst you try and address the issue.

    You can get brake hoses and throttle/clutch cables made to suit and if your competent with wires (or know someone who is) you can extend the wiring connections.

    As I say on every intro post I answer, we like photos and they can help folk (me) understand the issues reported

    Who's still about?

    Sorry to hear of your troubles bud, but glad you seem to be coming back from them. As finnerz said, a lot of the auld faces still pop in, but it has been a lot quieter of late. Hopefully pick up again as the weather improves, so people posting pics and stories of their rides/adventures etc

    Looking good bud. A few of the auld heads on here have done a few projects. @ Drewpy one of the moderators has a very detailed thread on his xs flat-tracker, well worth a read  but make sure you have a cuppa with you as you'll lose an hour or so easily.

    Whilst yams are my favoured non Brit bike, I'm more a Triumph dude, and have built a couple of auld yins, the last one I done was a 59 Speedtwin, so no thread on here 😐. I have a 75 T160 that is an ongoing labour of love.

    Enjoy the forum mate, and remember the more you post, the better the turnover

    Good morning, happy new year and welcome to the group.

    There may not be a specific thread on what you want, but you should start one, asking your initial questions, that way folk can answer your queries. 

    The thread will then grow naturally as you add progress updates and photos. 

    Good luck
