Very good luck with the recovery and recuperation Phil.A long and painful struggle for you and I admire your attitude and resolve.
new tyres on the way home from work saw a red kite over Porton Down - nearest to home yet scared some workmen under a bridge (not like I've done that before) :Angelic:
First job offer secured. Won't be taking it cos the package is crap, but it's nice to know I've still got the old fig charm
I have been sorting out my sprockets: 8 alloy (36 - 50 teeth), 6 steel (34 - 40 teeth), and one new steel 36 teeth (thanks again, Gliddofglood). Some are worn out or rusty, but several are new. Also 3 sprocket carriers with cush rubbers. One more exhaust system, this time a Conti 2 into 1 as fitted to later Pantahs. Pantahs had centre-stands only, never side-stands, but this one now has a side-stand (thanks again nuttynick). Fitting it was rather complicated and involved having a special centre-stand pivot bolt made.
Booked gixer in for a power commander and full dyno set up, and while uts there a fork refresh with the right springs and same for the rear at Hampshire Motorcycles
Made a rear ride height ride tool for my 748 with some plywood and 2 ghastly yellow anodised frame bungs. Andy
Not trying one upmanship but we saw six last weekend flying over Barford st Martin, some as low as 150 ft others probably a 1000 ft, I also saw four at Kingsclere on Sunday. The point is I have only ever seen the odd one until this summer when they seem to be far more common. Fantastic sight though where did you go for tyres ?
went to Bristol to pic up me 748 bits then to pub to celebrate the home to take pics n post sum.. few beers more and im about to go to bed with my steering damper..weirdos....
1st job of the day set the tone for the day, bollox, i am half way through fitting a down pipe which the customer is happy to pay for and is delighted to get it done so quickly, in last night ordered and squeeze her in first thing this morning.( i am fully booked in to next week) when i realized it don't look to old, checked back my history and sure as shit i fitted it 11 months ago. bummer i is now doing it for free, she comes back late for it. i tell her the good news and she takes the hump. apparently ii have spoiled her day off and never in her life has it ever happened before. :Wtf:
