  1. I been back a while Think we got in around 4 All unpacked, bike tucked up in garage and glad to report no problems on the way back
  2. I'll be a tinsey bit miffed if it tips it down
  3. ahem!!!! Just how did you think I was going to bring the bike up on a braked trailer?
  4. Ok I may feel brave enough to give it a go next week can you damage the thing running it badly adjusted ? You run the risk of bending the valves if they are too far out Not done any for a long time but I recall something about the cylinder needing to be top dead center (TDC)
  5. Enjoy the tinnitus Is that a new lid out?
  6. Right ppl Come rain or shine I'm still bringing my bike on a braked 3 bike trailer, as the missus doesn't drive or do pillion, so there's room for two more if anyone hits a problem that's travelling my route.........there or back Ill be setting off on Friday around 1430hrs (ish) once the missus has finished work and we have loaded up This is my route http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Southsea+PO4+8LL&daddr=The+Miners+Standard,+Bank+Top,+Matlock&hl=en&sll=51.965615,-1.429535&sspn=4.42776,11.634521&geocode=FQcNBwMdQhjw_ymPZYTaXVx0SDHWB7pB52lvzg%3BFUvWKgMdNuPm_ynHisYDPyd6SDH3QWBs_YS6lQ&mra=ls&z=7 Mobile number is in contacts or pm me tommorrow if you want it, just in case Ben If you decide to follow us up and it gets too much load the bike on the trailer........
  7. How about rebranding?............on second thoughts maybe not
  8. Aiming to be there about that time too Bike trailers booked just got to collect it in the a.m. Why have I got a mental image of Jix's bike on a trailer, with Jix sat on it while the missus drives the car....? Don't forget to lean in the corners!!! The missus doesn't drive, so that's not going to happen...............at least it won't on the way there or back

  10. Side stand cos I ain't got a center one My last bike had both Depended where I was parking on which one I used Center stand is not as stable as the side stand in certain situations Center stand for levelish ground and the side stand for angled ground generally
  11. Make sure you know and trust your pillion or at the very least they are experienced pillion riders Something to make you laugh and cringe Many many years ago when I were a wee lad with a GP100 (my first bike) I had two incidents with pillions. One amusing the other not so amusing. Amusing I was an apprentice carpenter at college giving regular pillion rides to one of my mates He is a tall lad standing at over 6foot 4inches back then Anyway, at the junction and pulled away on my not very powerful steed I didnt realise he had stood up so wasn't (due to his height) actually sat on the seat I left him stood in the middle of the road Not so amusing Giving a pillion to a different (work) aquaintance on the same bike and the fooker jumped off mid lean on a roundabout because he thought we werent going to make it That was the end of his lift to work.
  12. I think not A few beers might make me stupid(er) but not that stupid

Speak nearer the time Rae...............I take it you no longer want a lift as your going pillion with DP. Check what he means by "one way or another"
