Try again from 2 stroke club.... Phil Swiv and Parky have stepped up and are organising it " Loose arrangement is gonna be a rideout on the usual route to Seaways (I'll arrange free tea again).This will be either on Saturday or Sunday weather dependant. There will be a treasure hunt with a prize on the other day. I've not looked at evening entertainment yet but there will be a sweepstake to see how long a static 4 stroke engine can last at full chat before blowing up and a couple of prizes for bikes (details later) "

Bloody 'ell
tanked up the TDM yesterday and went for a fast ride up to Devils bridge in the lakes. I didn't hang around and that lovely torque had me passed a longer line of cars than I though possible, nudging 110 in some parts. One thing with all this behaviour, it tests the suspension on the twisties and sups fuel. I usually get 210 miles to a full tank, well yesterday I got 180. whats the big deal? I now know which position the reserve tap points to as I ran out at Rivvington on the Bolton road. Bollocks! Phoned the missus to bring me some fuel, and she said after I've finished work ( another hour) so i waited and waited, 4 hours later she turns up, the weather turned nasty, howling winds, driving rain and was close to hyperthermia, a kind restrauntier let me sit in his posh restaurant so i could defrost. whilst i was waiting for resue, i noticed oil all over the brake caliper and around the frame, I'd blown a fork seal too, so ordered seals on me phone from fowlers I have an account and save baskets for future use, I'm a scout so "be prepared" apart from that I had a great ride out, hopefully no speeding tickets and tested the bike out for the spain trip

Room for one more??
the harpic thing is the acid in the chemical I suppose you can use ally wheel cleaner as that conatins a mild phosphoric acid. there a company in Warrington called camcoat who ceramic coat exhausts. personally id just spray with B&Q BBQ paint, its very tough when cured
