Hi Chaps,
i joined the forum last year after i got a bike again after 29 years of non ownership. Ive had immense fun throwing myself into the bendy bits of the east lothian and borders areas. Bike is a standard pointy 650, (under 5k miles when i got it on an 04 plate), as a mechanic i do all servicing myself, just done the 7.5K service, and bought a carbtune II balancer kit from a friend for £30. Bargain. Bike runs like a dream after balancing. Have removed swing arm and greased bearings. Am finally getting used to engine braking, wont be buying any brake pads for a while. I have size 13 feet and am looking to extend the gear lever a bit for comfort. Apart form those tiny points, i always have a huge grin on my face when i come home from a run out, which is all that matters.
Cheers the noo.
