Re: Cry for help in the Bristol area

Mr Mackem, you have several offers of help here but we need you to give us an address/time.

I know you will also need some specialist tools for this, and I know that Squirrel Hunter has them in the boot of his car for you.

I have tools/stand and book and now a car...so...

We need more info

Re: Cry for help in the Bristol area

I know BaP. I just got home from work and was gonna send out a bunch of PM's now with more details to those who have volunteered.

Re: Cry for help in the Bristol area

Well it's stripped...

Me, Squirrell and BaP went around on new years day and got it stripped, and some of the brackets onto the replacement frame but several of the bolts need a good cleaning and greasing before putting them back in.

BaP will be posting a picture of how it was left sometime soon. I think we are going back on Saturday to carry on

Re: Cry for help in the Bristol area

Well done lads, a credit to the org

Re: Cry for help in the Bristol area

Yep, bloody helpful lot Squirrel, Stretchie and (to a much lesser extent) BaP!

Re: Cry for help in the Bristol area

It's stripped, we got there, gave BaP a load of abuse throughout the time we were there as usual, gave new boy some grief too, after all, it's his bike.

Didn't really take many pictures, it was new years day, I think we had all done a little celebrating the evening earlier so the idea was to just strip the bike and have a giggle doing it. When we got there, the nose cone fairings and the front fairings had already been removed.

Evidence that the engine was actually in the bike in the first place

We basically left him with this, old frame on the left, replacement frame to the right with some bracketry swapped over to it and the engine next to that

Lots of spares at the back of the garage

Now all we need to do is issue him with an invoice and refuse to continue until it is paid..
