Route and times for Sat 16th

Shell station in Lichfield, but you'll have to go another way in, I believe.

Just to make all aware, both my rear indicator bulbs blew on the way to work this morning I'll do my best to source some bulbs & get them in the bike before morning. Don't fancy not being able to tell people behind me what I'm doing.

Before anyone asks, the problem is water getting into the indicator casing on the Motrax Diamonds I have fitted. A good clean out with WD40, dry, silicon grease & new bulbs should see me sorted.

EDIT: Can someone who will definately be at the Bassetts Pole meet PM me their number please, if I'm going to be late I'll get in touch so that you know not to hang about for me, and I'll try my best to follow the route & play catchup. (Tomcat, I said definately at Bassetts Pole )

Route into Lichfield altered a bit to allow for fill-up at start - see beginning of thread.

If anyone is going to be late my mobile is 07733 002350

Baph - Hope you can make it in time. If not a quick (but boring) way of catching up is just to blast up the A38 to the A6 and go North to Matlock.

Cheers Keith

Muchos grassas for the number & route.

I'll drop you a text either way tonight. If I don't get it done tonight it'll be a matter of either waiting for the shops to open (which means I wont get down to Matlock until around 2pm ) or take my chances, ride & fix enroute. That depends on the weather really. Wasn't much fun in the rain & spray with no rear indicators this morning.

I can source everything tonight except maybe the bulbs themselves. I'm sure there'll be somewhere around the Shrewsbury area I can pickup the bulbs.

I have a bike shop at the end of the road that does indy bulbs for mini's.

Have yours got a number on them or anything. The bulbs cost either a quid or 2 quid dependent on type. I could bring em along tomorrow.

Anyway what's wrong wwith good old fashioned hand signals. Lol.

Sod that, take your chances, either fix on route (theres a bike shop in matlock that sells bulbs etc).

Failing that I will happily follow you with no indicators, no one seems to indicate in nottinghamshire anyway whenever I'm out on my bike

In all seriousness other than the potential of meeting the BiB I wouldnt worry about it.

No idea, it's lashing it down outside so the bulbs can stay there for now!

I suppose getting in touch with you tomorrow morning would be a little late I've got Lissa's number so I'll let you know if I need a hand sorting the bulbs out mate. Thanks.

Well we plan to go to Bikers World first thing near Bassetts. Looking at some lightweight gloves. They may well sell bulbs there, so give Lissa a call. Plus I have some spare under my seat, ready for the Holiday trip next week. Sure we can sort it one way or the other

These are the wee beggars I need. If you find some Pete, pick them up anyway please & I'll square costs up with you tomorrow.

I'll sort the leak out & if I get a bulb, well, I'll have a spare set.

EDIT: On the site, scroll down half way. I have the Motrax Diamond Mini indicators, the clear/amber bulbs for them are £1 on that site. 12v 23W jobbies. Anything with that fitment at 12v will do as a bodge job though. Better to have some light & a fast flash than no light at all.

On another note, from looking out my office window......the weather is looking damn good.....forecast says otherwise but hey ho
