[Jammy]

Anyone up for a little ride out on tuesday or thursday, weather looks to be good (cooler too) so i thought i could finally make an appearance!

[Fallout]

Possibly, though there is a good chance the bike will be on the paddock stands having the chain and sprockets changed. The chain has more slack than a 60 year old hooker's private parts.

[Tomor]

could do tuesday after work, from wednesday my bike will be on stands having various things done before bodmin :)

[Thunderace]

My brownie points have been used up so no!:(

Plus my clutch will be in bits from tomo to find the leak!

[Jammy]

so basically everyone has broken down...

[Spank86]

Pretty much.

Everyones leaking oil except the triumph.

[Jammy]

tomor i'm game

[The Idle Biker]

You're right. Their Jap crap breaks again. Buy Italian.

[Fallout]

I do believe you get a few months of oil free motoring in on a Triumph after a repair, before the next bout of failures begin.

[DJ123]

I maybe up for this, bike is in one piece now

[Thunderace]

Jammy make sure you have plenty of fuel money, coz Job sure does like to ride!;)

[DJ123]

keeping the miles down till Bodmin. Just out to tweak the bike up until then. BH weekend the bike is getting the full once over and a power socket installed!

[Jammy]

Im taking out a loan just to cover it ;)

[Jammy]

Wellll so far its

ME
Tomor
Daddyjob

[Thunderace]

Lets have some details then, meet point, time etc, I have a new clutch and some oil in the engine so if I can blag a pass from the better half I may make an appearance!;)

FYI fitting a new clutch is a proper ball ache, far to delicate for my liking, but she don't half change smooth now!:smt041

[Fallout]

I bet it's good to have a correctly screwed in sump plug too. I bet that was a difficult job!

[Thunderace]

Indeed it was, 22mm socket, 2 turns, Bob's your late night sneaky uncle!;)

[Jammy]

WELL. been down to the bodywork center and the fairing will be ready by tomorrow lunchtime... I'm not sure if that leaves enough time? so we could move it to wednesday maybe? Thats the day to go loomies too

[Jammy]

Sorry guys i know i keep ****ing it off but this time i reaaalllyy didnt expect it to take longer. I want to just get out on it now!

[DJ123]

Do we need a PC to see you Jammy or 3D glasses? :lol:

[Spank86]

I think you need rent a ghost.

[Thunderace]

I think you need rent a ghost.

WOW flash back to childhood I'd completely forgotten about that programme!

[Jammy]

:( ive bought this upon myself

[DJ123]

ride the bike 1st, care what it looks like 2nd! Winter time is for repairing/fixing/painting, summer time is for riding

[Thunderace]

He's right Jammy, gaffer tape, cable ties and WD40 is what a bike should be made of by Autumn, and it should be in showroom condition by the end of February!

Even I "The Cowboy" have a new fairing coming that will get fitted for the spring so I can totally ruin this one over the winter!

Rentaghost trivia question alert - who played Nadia Popov? Sue Nichols, aka Audrey Roberts out of Correy.


If your mansion house needs haunting, just call... Rentaghost.
We've got spooks and ghouls and freaks and fools... at Rentaghost.
Hear the Phantom of the Opera sing a haunting melody.
Remember what you see is not a mystery but... Rentaghost!
At your party be a smarty and hire... Rentaghost.
If you want a fright climb the spooky heights... with Rentaghost.
You can let our spirits move you, and for fun play ghostman's knock,
Because we aim to shock; we hope your knees will knock. That's... Rentaghost!

[Fallout]

I think this rentaghost thing must've been on CBBC, cos I don't remember it.

+1 for DaddyJob's wisdom too. Only reason why my bike has been off the road recently is the brakes may have killed me and the chain I'm changing now was literally rattling against the swing arm. :) Plenty of jobs saved up for winter though!

[Thunderace]

I think this rentaghost thing must've been on CBBC, cos I don't remember it.

It was on Going Live on Saturday mornings, I'm pretty sure CBBC didn't exist back then!;)
