If that were a feasible idea for GM3, then rather than rely on donations of parts, perhaps a small registration fee of a couple of quid could cover the cost of two sets of Ebay levers, 2 fixer pegs, sundry zipties, couple of footpumps and two puncture repair kits. |

Re: GM3 26th -27th June 2010 -
you wouldn't believe what some of us carry as spares.
I have fixer pegs, jubilee clips, exhaust gaskets(go figure!) clutch, brake, cable ties etc etc carried in my tailpack for curvy emergencies. They all just get thrown in and forgotten about. It has been known for YC to carry a spare cylinder head on the back of his bike for me.....yes it is true!!

Personally I dont like relying on other people to get me out of a spot. So I take enough spares that I know how to fit anything else its recovery time and I woudlnt expect the whole ride to stop and wait if I was going to be stranded for a while...

I've split the recovery / breakdown discussion into Pete's existing thread in bike's talk and issues, you'll find them here
http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=142389 Edit - All the off topic, chat etc etc I have deleted now, it occurs to me that I should dumped them into a GMIII banter type thread, but I dont really wanna trawl through it all again... I've left the ideas / discussion over venue posts alone and tried to preserve the flow of the thread, if anybody really wants their posts put back then please let me, Kilted Ginger or Northwind know... Cheers

Re: GM3 26/27th June 2010 General info thread
With all the talk of spares, i had a browse a few pages back to see what we were talking about.
I assume the list can go on and on and on... but realisticly what would people take as standard spares/useful bits, on a weekend or even just a day rideout. I hope thats not too off topic but might give people especially myself an idea of what to bring for gm and future meets. Also any links to ordering some of the suggested things online would be much appriciated as you can't get anything on the isle of man. |
