I spent all day trying to do what should have been a 1 hour job - doing chain and sprockets on the ZX7. The bloody clutch slave cylinder is jammed onto it's mounts, so I couldn't remove the front sproket. i ended up fashoning a bespoke tool from an old 8mm spanner and some brute force to remove the bolts from the bracket behind. Hopefully should get it all done tonight, then I just need to balance the carbs.
Took the Mrs on her first bike ride down to Fox's too. she was terrified but I think she enjoyed it (although she won't admit it). She did keep making power ranger comments about all the old men in one piece suits though ![]() |

I had a lovely run to south wales via the forest of Dean on Saturday and back on Sunday. Although Saturday was better as I was hung over on Sunday and nearly had an off when I skidded on a massive pile of sick, braking into a roundabout.

I have to say that is the 1st time I have ever heard this kind of thing. I think I've heard all other reasons but this one is awesome!

There was a very, very long thread on UKRM about ten years ago following someone's claim to have come off after their front wheel lost grip on an apple core.

Hmmmm, I hit a brick, banked over for a corner at 60 on my GPZ and didn't have any issues. Must have been one bloody big apple!

Well I doubt it was sick but it did look like it ....like porridge or man fat. It was a pool of white lumpy stuff on the road, right in the braking zone before cornering onto the roundabout. It was the A43 so I was going pretty quick. My front wheel locked up so I straightened up the bike and then braked again once over the sick and slowed down enough not to hit the roundabout. Was a bit of a sphicter twitching moment!
