I would of thought that tac weld would knacker the inside thread of the alloy pegs. Maybe they are knackered, perhaps you should try a bolt in there to check before you buy just the blobs, because if you get some pegs from ebay then they may come with blobs anyway.
I use the blue locktite on mine, and a few other places as well, perhaps you should invest in a bottle

WOW BBB, that's is some serious love you've given to your bike and it looks the mutt's nuts!

Anyway, what did I do today....

De-commutered the bike ready for tomorrow's egg run and next week's LOFO day out. Took off rack and washed.

Polished the ex noggy fighter screen

Checked the carb rubbers with some WD40 (FINALLY). and despite them being split to foc all was good and the engine didn't miss a beat! :-)

Finally got out on the thou for my first proper ride of 2015. Was only planning on going for a local jaunt, but 360+ miles and 8 and half hours later I finally got back home... I may have gone slightly further than intended and ended up in Yeovil. Weather was shit in the East, nicer in the West but cold everywhere

Still thawing out, despite 6 six layers, 3 hours after getting in...

Billy Balthorpe · « **Reply #4034 on:** 22 March 2015, 09:38:07 am »

£130 for a fuel cap??? I would expect it to get BBC2 and make me bacon butties for that!!

Very nice tho.

brooker81 · « **Reply #4035 on:** 22 March 2015, 04:35:30 pm »

I know it's steep. But dek the guy I bought it off had already covered it in rizoma stuff so set the bar high. I thought it would be rude not to I hate when u take the fuel cap off and the keys jangle all over the fuel tank. But yeah u are right the Italians are right robbing twats

Washed, polished, fluid levels checked, lubed chain and checked tyre presures.......20 psi in the front makes it handle like a bouncy castle

Nath · « **Reply #4039 on:** 22 March 2015, 06:55:45 pm »

I rode it nearly everyday last week so thought I'd clean it today. Cleaned it then as it was warmer than normal, rode it out again, so tomorrow I'll probably do the same thing again

Doddsie · « **Reply #4040 on:** 23 March 2015, 01:56:47 pm »

WROTE IT OFF!!!! Saturday......Some woman thought it would be a good idea to swerve right and slam her brakes on to avoid a pheasant, just as I was overtaking her. Off duty police woman following said i went about 12 foot in the air and landed on my head. Cant move my head or arms properly but nothing major. Broken thumb and 2 fingers, feels like Ive been hit by a truck but all in all quite lucky, could have been a lot worse. Havent got any pics of the bike yet but so glad I was wearing a full face helmet!!

brooker81 · « **Reply #4041 on:** 23 March 2015, 02:03:35 pm »

lucky there doddsie. hope you recover soon. silly bint. good job on the police woman though.

noggythenog · « **Reply #4042 on:** 23 March 2015, 02:21:06 pm »

Foocin ell doddsie mate

Glad youre alive, & im feeling your pain, thats exactly how i got wiped out, i was staring through the back window of a Honda CRV & had no option but squeeze the brake harder & down i went but it sounds like this mutant actually hit you

.

Fair play to the Roof helmet...i oft wondered if theyd be any good in a crash.

Rip one of the cleanest

s in the world too

.

Do what you do best......get pissed & enjoy it as if its your last beer coz your last one very well coulda been.

& get back in the saddle asap, hopefully on a

, small or big.....fz1 really cheap you know

ChristoT · « **Reply #4043 on:** 23 March 2015, 02:47:24 pm »

Oh no!!

The important thing is you're OK, and thank foc for that. Stupid cow, why do they hand out driving licenses to twats like that?!

Anything salvageable, or are you just going to write it off?

Doddsie · « **Reply #4044 on:** 23 March 2015, 03:12:20 pm »

Havent been to see it yet, apparently the bike cartwheeled. From what I saw of it at the scene, rear wheel and swing arm looked ok, pretty much everything else looked bent smashed or damaged in some way.

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #4045 on:** 23 March 2015, 05:57:29 pm »

Unlucky Doddsie (unlucky in that you met one of the countless numpties), but lucky your injuries are not too serious, which I'm pleased to hear. GWS mate.

Glad to hear you survived, though!

Lez72 · « **Reply #4048 on:** 23 March 2015, 07:14:24 pm »

GWS Doddsie. I feel the pain for both yourself and how you must be feeling about both your injuries and the sad demise of that immaculate boxeye.

It's a sad fact that it would appear only a very small percentage of drivers have even half a clue how to drive these days. Very few drivers know exactly what's going on around them at any given moment. Most only react to what happens as far away as the end of their bonnet which appears to be what happened here.

Anyways, I digress. GWS

midden · « **Reply #4049 on:** 23 March 2015, 07:24:00 pm »

glad you're not seriously hurt Doddsie.

Tried fitting givi rack, what a pain in the arse it is. I can't get the brackets to line up to put grab rail back on and thus secure the bracket. Am i missing something? Any advice appreciated
