South & West Surfers team building event

[_Stretchie_]

As some of you will know there have been 2 team building events happened in Bristol over the past year..



Namely removing the engine from my bike and then months later putting it back in again.



Well the time has come again for this to happen. 2nd gear is playing silly buggers again and to keep the cost down I'll need to take the engine out myself and take it to the garage where they'll use new parts instead of the second hand ones I got from another engine.



So I'm debating when I should do it. I have a week touring with 2 mates at the end of September, do I risk taking it out before hand or should I wait till after that week (which would be much easier on the old purse strings) when I won't be quite so anxious about anything potentially going wrong.



As usual people are inviting to come along and have a giggle at my expense, we could even get a BBQ going and have a couple beers and people are welcome to stay over. But as mentioned above this may not actually happen till September. I'll have to mull it over, but it will be happening!!!

Hi Stretchie, that could be a laugh, might take you up on that thats if you mofo,s dont mind a northern monkey turning up

from what i belive... thundercats 2nd gears always go .thats why i did not get one, anywho......... can you just go 1st to 3rd? my suzuki RM250 had this prob, but it did not bother me

Did 1st to 3rd for a few thousand mile last year mate but the problem gets gradually worse until it brakes completley, thats why my bike was off the road for so long. Mate I was looking at a Blade in May but I just can't afford to change : (

I've seen a pic of yours from last weekend and I LOVE the older shape, with a bit of meat to it, I'd like something around a W reg myself, with low low low mileage on it, cos I'm just going to rack the miles up
