Hello all S&WS'ers

I see everythings back but lots is missing oh well!
Hope everyone's fine. Forum downage had coincided with me being very busy and bike currently in bits so not doing much bike related, except playing with the bits (thats THE bits).

If anyone is out and about let me know, send me a PM or a text. I could probably bolt enough bits back on to ride it

Otherwise see evryone when the sun's out I guess (or beers are in...any news on that mooted idea?

Btw...Baldyman, what on earth is that big blue thing on your avatar?

hello...... whilst the forum was down did a couple of trips out to western for something different...

Then the bike battery died .. read sarga in the other thread... and the bike is booked for fork seals and oil on monday if I can get a battery for it by then

If I have that sorted and weather isnt horrid may go out Sunday if anyone else is interested.

What? the Blackbird you mean..........................ermmmmm, well, I didn't want to, but................well the only reason I agreed to buy it was for my wife to enjoy a comfortable pillion seat
Due to acceleration "trials" recently carried out, I have personally established that the pillion seat IS very comfortable, only challenge was that I was the only one on the bike at the time

I had a fantastic biking weekend two weeks ago. On the Sat, after much persuasion I rode my lad's new bike down from Leeds to Swindon(SV650N K3 which is absolutely mint) That same afternoon, I picked up my "comfortable pillion" baby and then on the Sun, Iceman, me and my lad (pillion until he passes his test ) went up to the NEC.

Will be DEFINITELY going riding on Sunday, anyone else out and about

Hello chaps! Well the weather is meant to be good this weekend albeit cold. If its sunny I could be temped to put things back together and get out and about. Having said that I'm halfway through spraying some bits and a thorough strip down clean so no promises Im afraid.

Last time I went out was about three weeks ago to the Mendips and it had been really wet so the bike came back even more mingin than usual. It was second test run out with gf who seems to enjoy the experience although it has led me to find I am exceptionally heavy handed and jerky with the throttle and journeys consist of being headbutted interspersed with thinking Ive lost her off the back What comes of riding a jerky twin solo I guess

Rideout Sunday sounds good!

Ah yes, just read the other thread. What a PIA. Anyway that'll teach you for going to Weston, no good ever comes of it...which reminds me I think I'm missing Funland..

Well, I'll be taking my fairings apart through the day tomorrow to see if I can fit the R&G bungs I bought at the NEC. So I will check this thread tomorrow night to possibly meet up.

CB9002, I could come up to Chelters first before moving westward as I never need an excuse to use the A435

Ceri, what are you up to Sunday?

That sounds great Baldyman.

Has anyone heard from Nickster if she's still about?

Anyone got a route?? I have one we can try.. but its up my part of the world... we can make a day of it, or just get the route done, and then think about food afterwards!!

I can try and drag up a quick map of the route if anyones interested ??

Bring it on Valleyboy, let's get this sorted. Just bear in mind the shorter daylight avail, so an earlyish start (e.g. 1000hrs) would be sensible. That would prob mean a 0900 ish start for us CB9002 if this is the case.

Anyways, I'll check back later.
Oh and I'll PM you both my mobile.

Cheers

Leigh
