Barnsley motorcycle show
had a cracking day at barnsley today, and even better, got a very red suntan I got told off by the track marshalls for running too wide whilst dicing with an rd400 (I beat him in the end though. and he wouldn't talk to me afterwards) i was only using the kerb as it had a nice camber to drive on!!! this won the best '70's, and its a beaut!!

new parking attendant required
From Bristol Evening Post: Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach. On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The Council said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?" Foot note: Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years...! Total sum just short £2.9 mill !!

XS400 Stopping Power
check down the boot area with the lever out it should be dry!! the only other way is to strip and being quite old now, water ingress may have corroded the bore!!

braided lines are goo, but you must also ensure that the master cylinder seals are efficient. you also need to make sure every air is bled from the system, try zip tying the brake lever on overnight!! you can always convert to twin disk like moi!!!
