SOS

[fenjer]

So folks

I've not posted for a while - had a pretty rough week, the OH finished with me last sunday which was pretty crap in itself, but then he started on the age old bike issues...

So, I need some help. Having liberated my bike from the shed with the help of my two neighbours it is now parked on the drive... it does need a wee service, now the ex is being difficult about doing this he's suddenly "far too busy". It is due it's mot so wondered if someone would come give it a once over (preferably with tools oil etc for chain - cos I have none!) for me?

Anyone want to help out a damsel in distress?

I'll glady cover costs of oil etc...

thanks in advance...

[stuntpilot]

I've already offered to do this for you :)

[fenjer]

yes - but you are in Blackpool - I was hoping someone more local could help out.

Thank you though

[jaromic]

Sorry to hear you've had a rough time, sadly i'm not very mechanically minded but i'm sure someone will help you out.

[appollo1]

sorry to hear your OH has finished with you and you will have loads of time with no excuses for attending ride outs now!!!

PM Bibio and I'm sure he will be able to help.

[Bibio]

sorry to hear about you and your OH. if you want someone to give the bike a once over for the MOT i will gladly offer my services.

all i usually ask is a cuppa T and some bikkies.

Yeah - just the babysitting now, and the endless praying that the bike doesn't get nicked from the drive! :smt120

T and bikkies I can do. :) I know that it needs something done to the chain, it's got too much play in it, and rust! :smt088

[Bibio]

what ever needs done you can rest assured that it will be done properly...

[fenjer]

[Bibio]

told you - and i can vouch that he is thotough and very professional in his mechanical work

[Bibio]

oooohhh ... i have a spare chain and padlock if you need it....

[fenjer]

hmmm, next weekend - would have to be sunday (12th) the wee yin has a party on the saturday.

I'm off uni for 3 weeks as of he 13th of July, cant do the 18th as I'm at a wedding that day.

Got a chain and padlock on it, but it's not chained to anything if that makes sense... I was going to chain it to the lamp-post but i'm concerned about the local kids playing near it!

[Bibio]

i could make it earlier if you want, but i will have to get back to you with a day...

but if sun 12th is good for you then i can do it..

[fenjer]

sure - i might even ask my mum to babysit and we could get a ride out afterwards! :)

[Bibio]

could do unless i bring the cage... but if you have a paddock stand i wont need the cage..

[fenjer]

I dont have a paddock stand. :(

[Bibio]

ooohhh well cage it is then... a paddock stand is a must as far as cleaning/greasing chains are concerned..

[fenjer]

Thanks bibio - really appreciate it.

Whats your fav bikkie?

[Kilted Ginger]

Bibio, give me a shout when you are doing this and i'll give you a hand, cant do this weekend, but any other time.

[fenjer]

KG - Sunday the 12th so thats this weekend. :(

I'd have bought you bikkies too! lol

[Dave20046]

Can vouch for bibio's workmanship, his bikes the nuts!

[Kilted Ginger]

What time, I cant promise anything as I'm at a stag day / night on the saturday.
If I can make it i will.

[fenjer]

Not sure - will depend on Bibio. I'm free all day though, and I'm sure help would be appreciated.

I could drop my paddock stand off with you if it lets Bibio use his bike instead of the cage, and I could pick it up again next week.

Has your bike got swingarm bobbins? My stand's got cups and hooks, so it should be OK either way but I've never tried the cups.

I could also drop off a bottle of paraffin for cleaning the chain if you want it - I've got enough of the stuff here to last me a lifetime of chain cleaning!

Cheers

[Quedos]

i would offer G's services but I'm afraid he won't be here. The boys will sort you out tho!

[kitkat]

wow you lot are great, another thing I miss about Scotland, the friendliness of everyone, the ease of organising rideouts (like pulling teeth down here). dont miss the midges and rain though. chin up fenjer. I used to have problems organising babysitters too when I left my hubby so got my 14 year old daughter a job and took 10 year old son on bike with me, problem solved lol

[appollo1]

Thanks bibio - really appreciate it.

Whats your fav bikkie?

I do believe that milk chocolate digestives are the ones!!!


So is this a sunday ride out to Fenjers for tea and biccies?

[Bibio]

yes appollo1 is correct. give that man a biccie... ;)


So is this a sunday ride out to Fenjers for tea and biccies?
well i'll be in the cage, but it will only take me about 1.5 hrs i guess.. so by the time i drop the cage off again and pick up the bike it'll be about 1:00-2:00, so an afternoon run might be in order.

but if i can get over during the week then its business as usual on the sunday.

[Kilted Ginger]

midweek suits me better bibio, give me a shout if you manage and want a hand

[Bibio]
