What have you done to your bike today....

[Public Enemy]

She's never been on a bike - promised her mum she wouldn't go on one! Got me old man out on the bike when I passed my test and got a 'big' bike, which I'm pleased about.

The Ldn trip went very smoothly.

138 miles back was covered in under 2 hours, so I averaged below the NSL

Stop cooking the books! National speed limit is 60mph. Bloody young tearaway.

 

[Don the Don]

Stripped out the Bonnies rear brake system, ready for a good clean up and an overhaul, New top mounting bracket fitted ready for overhauled caliper and braided hose

I fitted one of those Don, well worth it. The caliper doesn't get as shitty in the new position.

Quite right, what a ruddy stupid place to put the caliper right in the path of all the shit, giving it a good clean up and rebuild and then I will do the front as well.

 

[Don the Don]

Rear brake all overhauled and back in place and bled, looks a lot better now started on the front one.

 

[Don the Don]

That's the Bonnie brakes done front and rear, just some little jobs to do and she will be ready to ride

 

[Judd Dredd]

paid for it

Cool!
Did they drop that "extra fee"?
And have you checked to see if they genuinely have fitted new tyres?

yes and no. it came off the price, they are not working on it except the MOT, don't want cheap rubber....... i ended up with a son last time i made that mistake.

 

[MartytheMartian]

Hope it's all you want in a bike @Judd Dredd and that you get many miles under the rubber. Don't bend it this time either!

 

[DD67]

When you have it in your sweaty paws. I have oil & oil filters for your bike in stock. I'd be willing to swap said parts for whiskey
Obviously there'll be no charge for my labour.

 

[Don the Don]

Nice bike you chose @Judd Dredd enjoy and take care

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Dragged the Trident out of the shed and gave it a good clean over the weekend and tested out my ankle on the kickstart, and it fired up the second kick,

 

[Doc Strange]

Have fun @Judd - nicely set up for summer!

After seeing weather forecast, I shuffled stuff around so I could grab a couple of hour of today's amazing weather before the rain returns.

Figure of eight between Nottingham and Melton - lovely

And lots of other folks clearly had the same idea - a couple of classics out too. A KH400 and Suzuki triple, couldn't tell which.

[Big Sandy]

That your neck of the woods @Big Sandy ?

About 90 miles away, through Dingwall.

 

[Big Sandy]

Did the 40 mile prescription run. So it took over 100 mile's, who's counting? Never missed a beat.







Of course, I remembered to take photos on the way home..... Still snow on Ben Klebrick in the first pic....minus 1 here last night.

 

[MartytheMartian]

Nice scenery and the old model Sprint is still a sweet looking bike!

I doubt you knew the chap @Big Sandy although I don't know where he actually called home as his son was going with and then just good friends with my stepdaughter near Cumbernauld. His name was Andrew McIntyre and he was riding a BMW GS. The police put a message out looking for another biker who apparently stopped at the scene but left before the Police arrived.

 

[Big Sandy]

No, didn't know him, but heard about it....was on the campsite at Gills Bay and heard about it there.

I forgot to add, the council have been busy resurfacing, a few hundred yards at a time...no potholes at all for the first 10 mile's or so. About bloody time.... The bend at Baille an Or was slick with the tar off the lorry tyres though, could have been a squeaky bum moment if I wasn't expecting it. Be fun when it rains ....

 

[Scrappy]

Fantastic ride this afternoon, a bit windy and cooler than expected, but so much fun! I did one of my usual loops, about 60 miles around Leicestershire and Rutland.


It's that bloody viaduct again!

 

[Doc Strange]

Managed to squeeze in a short and unexpected ride on Sat - weather lovely rather than the predicted rain.

Sunday was spent tinkering on Daytona.

Monday saw Daytona ridden - all sweet, and once again winter thoughts of getting rid of it are forgotten as I hear it howl and feel it pull like a train

Flushed with success, I ring up to book it in for its MOT - and was able to get it in today - and it passed this morning, which justified another quick bimble.

Now to start thinking about booking up a trackday
