Well, having had my fun I’m now gonna be doing the 16th birthday thing this bank holiday Monday But wait …. I’ve managed to negotiate another benefit based upon my unquestioning obedience over the event ….. A weekend away at Moto Junkies with the West Midlands TRF the weekend after, … I think this is about as far as I can stretch it Probably gonna pay sometime down the road but hey

Stupid question, but you did use Motorcycle specific oil of the correct grade? I’ve learned this lesson the hard way, used car oil after a rebuild knowing it would be chucked away after start up & promptly forgot. Sent it to get the carbs set up on a dyno & the clutch was slipping like mad, had to drain and flush the oil plus clean the whole clutch, an expensive mistake. -
Is that good? My knowledge of the price of Avacados is somewhat limited ( hope the emoji doesn’t mean something inappropriate )

Takes me 1/2 hour to put on my A-Stars Tech 7’s if I’m going to be getting dirty on the KTM combination of not being as bendy as I used to be & having much bigger calves than the average Italian.

Getting dirty with a TRF ride out on Saturday. Going to the Stafford Classic Motorcycle Show on Sunday. You might think that Mrs Mickly seems very benevolent not complaining about me going biking 2 days in a row, but I’m not falling for it … It’s our ( well hers ) Grand daughters 16th birthday party next weekend & the party is being held in our garden, so I’m absolutely being set up for a very expensive & stressful time while having to grin & bear it, although I have managed to get a concession …. I’ll pick up guests in my car, but they’ll have to find their own way home, although I can’t help feeling this will entail Ubers at my expense.

The block would be between the bottom yolk & the tyre, but not sure that’s feasible on your bike.

If it’s a bike specific trailer, then many Ratchet straps & put a wooden block in to stop the front forks over compressing.

Unfortunately it’s 14 days from the offence to the point of the NIP being issued, so knowing what the postal service is like these days, who knows how long it might take to arrive.

Hope you’re having a good’un

He has, that’s why he’s called 4 Sheds, can’t keep up with the way he’s constantly swapping them for something else He’s just part exchanged his Harley for a BMW 12 NineT came in the trip on his Voge DSX Black Knight, he’s also got various classics

Met up with some Coventry based mates at Fistral Beach Bar Newquay today, they were on a long weekend bike trip A bit damp, but a happy bunch L-R:- Sketchers, Mark, Neil & 4 Sheds.

Probably helped by the unseasonably good weather but it was mobbed. Nice bar not your normal shite ( plenty of 0% options if your riding ) The food stand was also doing a great trade. Something for everyone I think. If you’re down here at any time ( collecting tags?) worth a visit

Hiya Have another look and see if you disturbed any wiring when removing the battery, you never know, it might just be a dodgy connection on a relay?
