Nah sod that for £250 I get an oil change, filter change, fuel filter change, air filter change, plugs, and new chain and sprockets. I think that would cost a bit at the garage and would rather save the money and get the satisfaction of completing it

Pete that sounds like a good idea I will try that. I have tried the back brake and I am moving the wheel!! At the moment I am worried of pushing or pulling the bike over I am putting that much force on the socket. Sadly its just me and I don't have anyone to help me and Phil Susie is too far from me aswell Anyway aren't you capable of doing your own work!!!

I have Shoei as my amin helmet but had to buy a cheapy one for an emergency and thought it was a pretty comfy helmet... Can't think of the make off the top of my head sorry a bit useless

Its that time of year again and I am doing a full service on the bike.... Only problem I have is I am replacing the chain and sprockets too and the front sprocket is a pain in the ass to undo. Any ideas on how I can get the bugger off guys and girls. Thanks

Sorry I haven't posted any pics yet I have no internet at the moment. Having had a couple conversations with my parents I think we will be looking at about £50 a head for staying inside and if you want to camp then around the £25 mark. Obviously this isn't including ferries which you can either book on your own or I can use a membership thingy of my parents to try to get cheaper tickets for people. All is to be confirmed yet as if would be good to have an idea of when and how many people want to go. Anyway here are a few pics...... The local lake I was planning a ride to View again The view from the lounge window The house

Well I am here enjoying a bit of sun, well working my butt off in the garden, hopefully I will get some tan as the sun is out and I am topless, hows the rain there people?? Anyway the locals are very friendly and I was in the village bar until 1 this morning and for 2 of us to eat and drink all nite it only cost 44 euro which is a bargain I think.... I reckon there is about space in the garden area for a good 8 tents providing they aren't huge like (Miss D) I reckon the date will be sometime in the summer holidays, So who is interested as I am trying to get some idea as to where everyone will stay and stuff. Right I have work to do, hopefully the pics will come out later....... And would you believe it I have seen to Pans go past the window with Brit plates!!

And one adult going towards the end of October from Portsmouth to St Malo is around £155...

What is the bikers rest??? Just done a quick price for ferries to try and give you an idea a week over in France Sunday to Sunday using the Portsmouth to Cherbourg crossing it would set a bike and pillion back £155 roughly. Am still waiting to see what my parents are going to charge for the cottage, it sleeps 9 adults plus I think there is plenty of scope to put tents up too..... Will keep you all posted if you want and will post a few pics up.

Serves you right for being in the Navy or are you posh enough to have your own yacht Col is it just a day thing or can you camp??? Either way think I will be up for it work permitting as usual oh and weather permitting

Hi everybody I have a hair brained idea hatching in my head and here it is.... My parents have just bought a cottage farm thingy in the North of France in Brittany and can get some cheap deals on ferries over there. So.... Who would be up for a week or so in France next summer. What I was thinking is getting a rough idea on the price of tickets at their discounted rate for a bike and also finding out what sort of rate my parents will let me pass on to all you. I am off over there this weekend so I will get plenty of pictures and info on the area, so who would be interested in a week next summer BBQ booze and rides on the bike? Car peeps are welcome too after all where are we going to put all the cheap booze This is only to get an idea as to whether anybody is interested thats all. Theres also plenty of room for camping also. Right I must stop thinking where did this crazy idea come from!?!?!?! Incidently anybody wanting to take the family over to France on holiday do pm me and I will find out if they have somewhere for you to stay. I can assure you the price will be good.

How do you get the tent pegs in the ground on the hard standing??

tis only up the road would be up for it work permitting. Am sure helen will be going I seem to remember her saying she went up there a bit. Its up near Straford isn't it?

Sorry guys I cant make it Roy you not thought of getting on the A5 at the earliest oppourtunity and sticking on that until you get to Hinckley then go past the Triumph factory around Hinckley to Mallory Park? Akey your cutting it a bit fine to get there if your flying crab air

Didnt know that Ludgershall had a bike night.... Cant make it though as I am home in Cornwall sorry mate

Why dont you have the BBQ on the Friday if the show is on the Sunday? You can use my bike if you like but I will need to give it a clean and its nowt special lol how about Tracey and her bike??? No prizes where you will acquire a projector from is there Akey

It should be made of pretty strong metal give it a good clout. It works on cars too...

Might try to get down work permitting....

Try the starter motor mate. Get a ahem hammer or other large and heavy implement and give it a knock then try starting it. I had a problem with my Diversion many years ago and I used to carry a very large suspension spanner with me to give it a whack. Turned out that as the bushes in the starter motor wear down it becomes hard to start. Unless your unit is a sealed unit they are pretty easy to replace.

Early start then

Thats a good idea Col P why doesn't he?? Roy are you stopping for breaky at foxes? I am off out on the bike in a sec I will see what time it opens on a sunday. I should think it will be around 9-10 though.... What route were you thinking of taking to go down s'arf?

I got back in record time Did anybody get caught up in the strange goings on on the M1?? Great to meet all you people am looking for the next one. Oh and its not me who taught anybody to look up skirts, i was the innocent while playing pool girls you know who you are tut tut

Is there anybody riding up from down sarf on Friday? Roy I remember you saying something about riding up but don't remember... I will txt or call you in the week so see what the score is I am away working this week so probably wont have any access to t'internet...

Vik I hope thats not a rally T-shirt (that you have designed) because if it is I'll pass

There is always the Naafi I will try to find out the price, I don't think its being advertised very much I know MPS have a poster up but thats because the lass who runs the place is involved with it. I will try to think of somewhere else worth eating.... Ace Cafe isn't a million miles away actually...
