that's a date

looking great

Paul, any chance of bringing your dial gauge and fitting to time the Gilera?

that sucks, but the missus comes first. good luck on the move

If you love cake and engines then you need a Cake O Matic in your life and what better way to eat birthday cake.

woohoo, lets go

I don't have Twitter but see enough in facebook to see the funny side http://www.buzzfeed.com/tomphillips/the-29-stages-of-a-twitterstorm

its the one we first met at with Mike all those years ago ST7 1UP on the A34/A50 expect to get there 10:30ish

To get the carbs out, I loosened the top rear sub frame, took out the battery box and air box. unconnected the muffler and the whole thing hinged back to get to the carbs. can do it in 1/2 hour now

yep, 9am sounds good, weather prediction has improved too

use the POR15 stuff from Frost, i think its £38 for the motorcycle kit and so far its like a new tank inside and its ethanol resistant and looks great being silver.

I made a negative buck out of 1" ply (ie an oval hole) and carefully bashed in the alloy with shot peen hammer making sure it didn't split. finished off with a rubber mallet to smooth it off

let us know bips ,we could meet at little chef near A500 Okay John, prob be there 10ish but want to do the autojumble first and I need to pick some stuff up from Bob Wright's stall I've ordered

picked/nicked this from the 2 stroke forum. never heard of it before, but you can dye plastics. there's not loads of colours but if you want to be "back in black" ( see what i did there?) worth doing for £6

crap, no good no matter what the bike. I have one of those super duper alarms someone recommend on here, 100 decibels and it hurts your ears ( even with my deafness) I haven't got a spare seat pan, I have foam. Keep an eye out on ebay 360 and 400 stuff will fit

I'm checking with work tomorrow to get the time off. getting excited but there's not much riding for us as its only Liverpool, 30 mins tops

give it a whack with a rubber mallet

its like a huge cast iron C with a roller on the ends of the C and you pass the pounded panels back and forth to smooth out the craters from hammering.

well I decided to make an Alloy front rear mudguard tonite check out my metal bashing skills looks good and no English wheel in sight

I recon the better meet is the classic TT 22 - 25 Aug 2014 "The Classic TT celebrates the history and heritage of the TT and motorcycle racing, offering four action-packed days of motorcycling nostalgia. Including the world's most prestigious classic motorcycle races, the Classic TT will boast the best road racers on the planet riding the most exotic and iconic motorcycles." then thers the Manx GP Manx GP 26th to 29th is for non-experts and must be UK/NI born to participate might be better to go for the lot while we're there and make a full week of it!

OK

seems "fine" to me

Let me know what ferry you get tommy and I'll book mine too

cool helmet Tommy, shame about the face
