I'm not allowed to say what I did with mine today!

Ok, so tell us what you did with your bike instead?  ;)

It's sweet that you call it "she", but just make sure you wash off the carbon from that exhaust, it can cause a nasty rash!

You are a bad man.  :lol :lol :lol

Rewired the 12V (correctly this time!), checked tyre pressures, took the baffles out of the zorst, will clean it and fill up later. Roll on LoFos, and a free cuppa off Nick!  :rollin

Fitted some iridium plugs, started rubbing down the engine before painting it, and balanced the carbs again.

Cleaned it, and now swearing at that mother foccing 12V again!!

I don't know what the foc is wrong with the foccing thing, but it appears to have blown up my 12V to USB charger. What the foc is it this time?!?  :wall

Stripped the front calipers and gave them a good clean. Fitted a new set of EBC HH pads and a new fuel filter.

All set for a blast in the morning!

Was that in Kent? I tried RoSPA in Kent and didn't hear from them for 4 months so gave up - did you have to wait long for your assessment?

Christo's Fazer diceded to have a lay down and sleep. Glad he's ok.




Some say that he eats habanero chilli peppers dipped in oil of capsaicin for extra bite and that his pyjamas are made from Nomex. All we know is, he's called Ad the Bad

The road didn't. The towbar decided to play at being a plough! There's a nice gouge there now...

No, I'm fine. Worst injury sustained was a sprained thumb. I'm still in shock I think though...

well thats the main thing, then.

Bikes can be fixed and replaced mate, harder to replace a kneecap (I should know). Lucky to come off so unscathed going by the condition of the bike too :)

Ordered a new fuel filter, an oil gallery plug and suitable O Ring and the upgraded front sprocket nut and tab washer from Fowlers. Also ordered a stainless rear 'Venhill' brakeline  :)
