Tiggie

thanks everyone for a great weekend, will just post this pic for now

i'm going to cancel my appointment with you Alan, I can strip the carbs any time and there are lots of people here who seem to have real problems, also their bikes need work doing

lovely sunny day here, I'm going to feel a right prat as I'm off to hein gericke for some rain gear

Perfectly fine, just make sure everything is secured and you have nothing to worry about.

Probably around 3ish, giving me plenty of time to sort tent before beer o'clock

just started using this myself, very impressed so far. you can also set it to update your facebook status when you arrive at your destination!

The Eagles Hell Freezes Over tour at Wembley Stadium, quite a long time ago lol but it was brilliant

very very jealous

last I went to was Bryan Adams on his bare bones tour, was held in a tiny theatre almost cinema sized with only around 200 people there, was very much like one of the old mtv unplugged concerts.

I do mine once a month or every 500 miles whichever comes first, probably overkill but it isn't a difficult job.

I don't think it matters what you use on your chain whether its lube, wax or plain old oil, as long as you clean it regularly. oh and dont use wd-40 as lube!!

don't forget to check the chain slack as well.

If you have a multimetre try checking the levels, disconnect the battery overnight and check the levels again in the morning.

This will tell you if its the battery that's knacked at least.

Don't forget to stick some petrol in the tank

I'm getting a little worried about all this talk of people wearing nothing but beer towels.

Really feel I'm going to be underdressed!

same here!, apart from the singing!!

Thinking about this, I did see a tent advertised with illuminous guy ropes.

 

you can buy pegs from asda with LED's in them neil

i think they are shutting half the field for us this year and it might be the top half!!

I bought some of them just for this!!

125 for me too

yes please!!! I want to take apart and clean my carb (only the one) but have been putting it off in case I screw it up. I will happily do all the grunt work, supply cleaner etc if you are there to say 'that doesn't go there you plonker' & 'how the feck have you managed to do that'

lapsang suchong for me http://smileydatabase.com/smilies/435.gif

I'm sure I will be corrected by someone who knows better but my understanding is that its theoretically possible but not worth the expense & effort.

Stick to your trip counter

That I managed to fix the bike in time for the rally!

Snake oil mate......

Does the snake oil make it run smoother? Don't want to waste my money like I did on the magic beans fuel additive

No feeler gauges, how does that work then?

I dont know thats why I asked if anyone had used it!

not just to make it easier to do the nuts, apparently you dont need to use feeler gauges with this either,

as you say, it is a lot of money though for a not often done job
