Hi Chrislwg

Posting pictures is also explained in the ‘How To’ on this site section near the top of the main forum page.

This is brilliant Tango Thank You. Please keep it coming . . .

You don’t think we would miss that one out do you Michael? 😀

Great price. That would cost me around £35 here

Hi Marko. I am glad you managed to sort your bracket out.

Michael is right. You are indeed in a beautiful area. Enjoy your riding and keep posting for us to enjoy and envy.

We are all now home safe and sound.

What a fantastic meet this was. The Our German brothers were amazing hosts and made us very welcome. The ride outs were fantastic and they sure know how to party!!!

I’m about to go and soak my aching bones but will post more details later.

Here are a few pics for now. I will create an album once I get them all in.

Well guys the time has come. Bikes are loaded and Tango is here and we are ready to Rock n Roll.

Be good while we are away n cya soon

Electrics now sorted and the bike is back together. I’ve checked and adjusted everything so just having 5 mins and a brew then it’s back out and clean her

A sterling job sir. Well done. You can ride with me now 😀

Been in the garage 3 1/2 hours. Eventually found the problem and it is now fixed. It was the 6 pin connector for the ignition switch. 2 of the 4 wires had corroded but were still securely in place. I still have to put her back together but that will wait till tomorrow night. Hopefully I can persuade my boss to let me finish at dinnertime.

Just when you thought it was safe to put your tools away . . . ARRRRGGGGG! Went for a test run after reducing the vibrations. Camera works well now. Got home and as I was turning the bike round all the electrics went off. Straightened wheel n back on. Turned to left and off. I’m sure it’s either the ignition switch block connector (had trouble…[Read more]

Cheers Philpass. There’s no rushing so all should be good. Will keep you updated as best we can. You should be with us

Arrangements for meeting up.

Myself, Tango and Crazybitch are meeting at mine at 11.00am for a 12.00 departure. We will be stopping at Ferrybridge services at 2.00pm where we will meet up with ChrisLWG and Toeknee. Leave Ferrybridge by 3.00pm and arrive at Hull Docks by 4.00pm which gives us plenty of time to grab a bite and a beer before boarding.

Based on the following information

Total distance – 800 miles
Economy . . . . .40mpg

we will need 20 gallons of fuel for the trip.

20 Gallons = 94 litres and at 1.30 per litre this suggests £125 should cover all fuel costs from leaving home Thursday to getting back home Tuesday.

Well that’s doors shut on bike mods. I had a couple of minor issues to deal with and they are now done. All I want to do know is bleed brakes and clutch then clean her. After that it’s pack and leave 😀 😀 😀

Nearly ready then. You are cutting it fine Michael but well done.

Exciting. Will there be one for the grumpiest bastard? I might get that 😆

She’s looking good Michael. I’m hoping to test my new video cam tonight as weather forecast tomorrow is bad so will be garage bound i feel

YEEHAA Michael. I am in the same boat as you. Fuckin awesome but still a bit of tinkering. We will be there though. Keep it up buddy. My aim is bike finished by Saturday when I go to bed.

A sad tale Samurai. I know your bike. It is an awesome beast now. Do not let her go for less. I know about your issues too pal. Hang on in there buddy, I have my fingers crossed for you.
