Not quite set in stone yet, but AliG is planning on coming over so we can do a service on his bike.
Ali is keen to see how the plugs are changed. Did mine 2 days ago so I'm 'Teach'
I have an Oil change to do.
With France coming up in April it's a good time to do a Pre-Tour review.
Names in my head: SagaLout/ChrisG plus Wifey/JHT with his Re-build??/Richarda/Maximillionbluetoothheadsets
TonyDevil is also planning to come over to do some bits
I'll be doing All Day breakfast on the Barbi.
If anyone want to come over to fit stuff, watch us get dirty or just have a coffee and Bacon roll then your welcome.
Will update

Eeeek - wifes BD the following Tuesday so apparently I've got to visit the outlaws. Means I have to miss options such as a bike club ride around Brecon or TVAM ride out or another ride out planned by a mate and now this offer - this is torture.
I'll have to see what I can get away with (presumably not much) - will have to wait 'till much nearer the time before I know for sure.
Thanks for thinking of me. Would have been good to catch up with you all.

Thanks for the offer but hoping to get out on the new KTM this weekend, have been waiting ages for this new tyre
Should come tomorrow. I may pop down to cats thing through it would be nice to meet some of the other guys. Cats may have a heart attack when he sees my bike mind, I believe I could go for the trophy of Dirtiest TDM 900 on the forum.I also have a box, I bought from a breaker containing the nuts and bolts left over from a 900 he broke which could be useful.

Strange request time
If you replace the seals and the coil springs in the seals you remove are intact & not rusty - can I have em please? First one to tell me why I want them (the correct answer that is - it is to do with motorcycles) wins a less fattening cyber Mars Bar.

It hasn't been washed since you saw it, I believe I was having a BBQ when you saw it so must have been at least 5 months ago.
