drewpy

Just got back from Hull, bloody windy on the motorway and it was down to 40 mph on the higher levels. got home no problem though and the bike sounds aamzing, very comfy to ride and has good road manners. Front brakes are , the back ot so but I can give them an overhaul ( they are the same as the FZ rear brake too) need to give it a service for peace of mind and I had a squeel from the clutch from standing start blasting off the line, maybe thrust bearing or something. need to keep watching the speedo as It crept up to 90 in some places. Its got 35k on the clock any way here's acuple of pikkies owner painted and not the best, but good enough for what i'm using it for just need some hard pannier frames and panniers if anyone has some lurking?

Off to sunny Hull tomorrow to hopefully pick up a TDM850. Its a '96 mk2 model with the 270' crossplane crank and has aftermarket 2 in 1 pipe and blue spot brakes. its done 40k miles and has had a local respray in white and green. I've booked the national express as its only £15 (£48 on train) and get there 13:20. hope it checks out then I can ride to squires and have a look round the show. so I either could be stuck in Hull with no bike or zooming along the queens highway with a new bike. watch this space

RIP to the chap. live each day as it comes as it might be your last. thats my motto

they are 2mm blades John

55, it says on the tin I used to have a 45 Mercury with leccy start. nice engine

too nice to stay in and I was camping over weekend so didn't get my biking fix. Saw that there was a meet at Lytham St Anns so headed over there to check it out. Stopped at Lytham Windmill as it looked very pretty. the meet was crap and too clique for my liking. Coffee and cake was nice though

try vehicle wiring products

I took my R6 shock to KAIS suspension and they regased, revalved and resprung the shock. there is a little bag in the resevoir to hold the gas in, my guess is thats gone

Had a ride out today to a place called Knott End. Its the opposite side of Fleetwood. Wednesday is bike night at the cafe and being such a lovely evening decided to go for it. took the long way round through some lovely countryside and took about 2 hours to get there.

nice to see you Pat, I believe you are working on the new underground? my mate is project manager for Murphy's who are doing that job

yes, report it otherwise nothing will happen. there's bound to be CCTV evidence

slack chain?

not got your phone # yet Slice, did you send it?

look sgood to me, a little on the rich, but thats a good thing

well things may be moving on a lot faster. Bumped into a guy at rivvy who was riding a supercharged Kwacker. his bro did all the engineering and he has texted me his number last night. He only lives in Warrington too, result

that's good, glad you got it sorted

rock on Tommy

photos are here Folks miserable bastards at oil can interlude on the ride out, that rd350 behind mine was in a duel with me. we were doing a ton round one bend ( a long one) Dg heads, very nice our now, traditional Scabs beach photo the infamouse chinky meal which took 3 hours to be served. This is the first or second of the individual starters that we got. Kev running the gamot of soup jokes whist trying to enjoy it got a group photo in the chinese. Tommy ordered a load of food at the end thinking it would take at least 1/2 hour, came in 5 mins and there was too much. there was a caveat in that any wasted food was to be charged so Tommy stuff some insdie his kecks, Kev had the bright idea of each of us breaking it up and distributing the entrails across 8 plates

Chinese booked for 6 people at 7pm under the name of Tommy they still do the all you can eat for £15 which is reasonable for the area. see you all tomorrow
