Dont say it like its a bad thing mind! tongue.gif

(Jules bring that Tank Rod you stole from me that I stole from Dazzer)
Ooh yeah, I've seem that in the garage I have blink.gif

And to have my suspension set-up
Setting up Sag & getting it closer to the mark shouldn't be a problem, tho' bear in mind when we did Saga's there aint enough preload available with std springs
Maybe we can then do ChrisG's 'Deepcut Bends Dampers Set Up Day'

Wouldn't mind having a play at throttle body synchronisation if Julian's bringing the gauges but I can ply him with cake another time if we're short of time or it reduces the amount of kit he needs to bring.

not a prob, add it to the list of jobs to do (you're not due valve clearances any time soon are you?)

Let me know nearer the time what you might be short of Martin, I can easily drop in to the butchers on the way over, or I might make a cake or something.
Likewise, lettuce snow Cats

Jnr going to be gutted he can't make it sad.gif


Done: Homo sap navigation/ twisty thing on bars to make it go vroom/ grabby thing to make it stop (in front of twisty thing)/ 'leccy things front and rear to make it glow at night/ Sucky + drippy oiler thing to keep chains moist (!!) / Laser Pro Stock Race pipes / bleeding ear drums (see previous mod)
To do: Educate homo sap nav system to operate twisty + grabby things/ get ear plugs

All Trashed Now... Pants... its a Cat B Mwahahaha it lives again!!


Remember every driver is a deaf myoptic twat who is out to kill you, ALWAYS assume they are going to do THE most f*cking DUMBASS, STUPID manouver possible, at the worst possible moment; get past, and get past quick

I'll be there, hopefully on the FZ 750 if it passes its MOT next week. No work planned, but am open to advice and suggestions for improvements. Looking forward to the banter and the BBQ. What do you want me to bring, Martin?

Chris, folk oil ok, doing fork seals at a fettle day I'd be dubious about just in case anything becomes problematic

unless of course the fettle day is at your place

Knowing the way things go on my bike "problematic" will be an understatement!
Maybe I'll be able to arrange something with Alain for a later date. Hopefully the
seals won't leak in the meantime. Just throttle body balance for me then, as long
as the oil and filter change and chain adjustment go ok in the next couple of weeks.

Ok, with regret I am having to cancel the Fettle day.

Won't go into details but I'm having a few issues with the owners of the land about vehicles etc.

I am sorry for all those who have planned for this.

It maybe that the venue may change to another Member's address not too far from here. I'll let him announce or deny this.

Really sorry to hear that, Martin. I was really looking forward to it and I'd be happy to host it but I am an hour from your place. I've got plenty parking for bikes although it's a gravel drive so you need the plastic plate for the foot stand.
