Sheep_onna_Bandit Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Noooo, not a place to go to!!!Anyhoo, by my crazy reckoning, if everyone makes it to ours, we should be setting off in a group of around . . . . . (drum roll) . . 30 bikesProviding everyone gets there, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest akey Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Should be a good run. No need to blast it mate (not that you can with 30 bikes) its only about 30 min from yours to Tamworth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest akey Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 both TC, so bring your ear defs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for on and off the bike (oh I am soooooo dead)As for the little screamer going 2 up, done it a couple of times and its not funny even on short trips so there is no chance for RTTW.Mate has offered me his Tuono, and CMC may come up trumps as well depends how busy they are so could be anything.

Guest Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ok, update, got home, took camera out to the bike to get pics, anyway, put hand on the rocker cover, and it was wet, fuel wet... turns out i have a small hole in the tank.. a bad repair from a previous owner that has now failed.. so the oil, was old oil that has been washed off by fuel..tried halfords for tank repair, but they 've sold out, and wont have any in until tommorow, which means i dont have enough time to fix the repair, rust proof the underside of the tank, and paint up, (hammerrite, as its for protection not show..)so i am afraid i am a no-show and gonna have to sit this one out.. will post another thread on what needs doing and how far i've got..http://www.themotorbikeforum.co.uk/view ... 03&start=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
