Saw one Friday leaving CMC wasn’t very noisy though which surprised me. I wanted the full Cement Mixer vibe, disappointed doesn’t even cover it. Lovely paintwork though so I’ll award you a 9/10.
Bling shock off and stock back on, stuck exhaust stud removed, air box and domino throttle fitted. Most I’ve done in months! oh and the 749/999 air box assembly is trash…..
After a journey by hand from the States finally got hold of my hand made billet alloy custom air filter for the old 400/4
Blimey, that’s nicely made. Looks fairly weighty mind. Is that to avoid the wrestling match trying to get the Honda airbox back in the frame and then connecting the carbs? I remember that was a bastard job!
Its for exactly that reason...theyre telescopic so the collapse down! Weight: doesnt really matter as its made of pigiron!
Put the bikes back where they use to be at the end of the garage. And found that, since the last time they were there, I’ve added more stuff in the garage so it doesn’t all fit neatly now on the plus side I have some more wall space so can put back up the race pics I took down last year
As the bike in question is my track bike, I used a mixture of mainly distilled water and some universal coolant (suitable for mixing with any existing coolant).
i just got a wake-up call on this also R.. I used to get mine from Opie oils:- https://www.opieoils.co.uk/search.aspx?search=inorganic coolant but i think they've stopped supplying also. Found this useful:- https://gmb.net/blog/inorganic-vs-organic-coolants/
I have my NOb assessment on Thursday, my weather app said overcast but no rain so headed out to reccy my route. Yes, right, no rain it said, got absolutely drenched. At least I now know the route works and the toilet stops are open and that's another 90 miles towards the run in service. Andy
Not as exciting I’m afraid, IAM Roadsmart Observer accreditation at National level now the IAM have canned their Local Observer qualification. Andy
