Got a mess from a riding buddy in our local mc club the other day asking if I could help break his old chain and rivet a new chain to his bike, so I did last night.
What do you guys think, was it premature to replace his front sprocket? You can still se evidence of cogs on it, not sure if it's still possible to count how many...  :)

That grinding sound when he drove into my garage... I can tell you the old chain wasn't pretty either. 


Your mate is aware there is stuff called chain lube...right....shocking condition

And30ers,this is the type of bloke that fills my heart with joy. Proof that no matter how clueless and kack-handed my maintenance is,(and I could cite a number of examples) there are people out there who make me look like an automotive god.....

Lubed the shock top and bottom and the swingarm pivots while I waited for the cam belt to be replaced on my van.

 

In pretty good nick considering (42K).

 

Then I noticed this distressed little fella. Bello! Must be traumatised by my throttle twisting antics.

Likewise. Hoping to get out for ride with a friend tomorrow (He says we're going regardless of the weather, but we'll see).

Most of the time, this site is all that keeps me connected to biking and specifically to our TDM. What a sad situation.

:)

Yeah, I've done the IAM. And yeah, I recommend it (any so-called 'advanced training' come to that; not just IAM): A low cost training course based on the system used by the police, which is largely common sense once pointed out, making one smoother, quicker and safer. What's not to like? And why would one not want to tell others?  :hide:

Very true, I won't get to ride now until March. But the odd chat on here kind of keeps the biking juices flowing. :blush2:

Went to start it yesterday when I got home,  just to warm it up and put a bit of charge in it. Fat chance, flat as a pancake, stuck it on charge over night and ran it this morning for a bit, but I'm not going to get a ride in for a while I think. :sorry:

Wheeled it out into the snow while I put up my new LED striplights in the shed (600 LEDs), so I can see for some TDM TLC.

Nope - probably more expensive at £350 for the timber alone - but I got  a shed made out of more substantial timber, screwed together not nailed , demountable when required, the size I wanted with the features I wanted too, such as staging to get the welding gear/compressor/toolboxes etc. accessible but not in the way, a full -length (10') work bench, double doors, 6'4" minimum head room, shelving right round the shed at eye-level, no windows and the whole thing looks like a gingerbread house from Hansel & Gretel..................
