  1. haynes manual or other reference information is essential. I have just bought a bike to which i purchased a haynes manual for while checking the chain found that the chain is stretched 10mm longer than the max permissible. other useful information like torque setting and amount of teeth for sprockets and how many links for standard. I know this sounds a bit conformist :oops: but if its not standard to the bike the insurance will have a field day if you spill it and they get wind its not standard. :idea: i am planning to replace the wheel bearings on the rear wheel at the same time as the cost is under a tenner. Regarding the split link i read on a web site that anything over 60 bhp should be riveted. hope this helps good luck

  2. yep sure is Ian the trembling throughout my body is just begining to subside and to do it twice in 4days don't help thing is its going to make everything in this country feel really close and within range :lol:

  3. hi mate thats the problem i want to go back already but do a few weeks taking in belgium and austria lake geneva and such things but definitely mont blanc again.

    in small pieces 929 in one go is hard work :shock:

  5. back home a day early had a awesome time took the best part of 24hrs to get there. ripped by the toll roads in france, :roll: weather was fantastic, set up camp in charmonix had a cracking laugh, nephew went off on his quest to climb mont blanc with his mate, i went off to have a look around charmonix really cool place. i was having a much needed kip in the tent. nephews mate came back cause he didn't feel he could do the mountain it was to much for him. i wasn't going to let myself feel disappointed by my trip next day rode around the mountain which took me through mountain passes to Martigny in switzerland to the tunnel Du St Bernard Italy through to Aoste Morgex and back through the mont blanc tunnel about 6.5hrs some of the most beautiful mountain roads with scenery to take you breath away and not for one second did i feel alone with foreign bikers letting on every inch of the way. was just getting settled after my day out when my nephew arrived back with his pics and stories of his climb mont blanc looked awesome from the top. sadly his mate a problem at home and we had to leave early doing approximately 929 miles and a ferry crossing in 19hrs :shock: my body still feels like it is on the bike weird feeling hands and arms are stiff and aching but thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience :D :D :D :D :D :D
