Met some Lambretta riders and headed to a cafe in Sheff then lost 25 of them as I went the oppersite direction from cafe and had no idea where they were going. How hard can it be to loose 25 Lambretta riders

Why would u want to follow a bunch SLOW scoots?

FPMSL Some times you have to just loose some two wheeled riders but on other occassions its noce to socialise. I was taking photos of the group and just before they set off I went for the bike and then they were gone.

Went out for a run this evening with a few mates on a Varadero 1000, 1200GS and Blackbird. Did about 70 miles round from Dunmow down to Epping and back

Fitted new seat and done 280 miles with my brother in law and managed to keep up with him sort of

Seat looks much better there kitcrazy! No more standing up on the pegs for half the journey

That seat looks smart kitcrazy. Who makes that one, and how much was it?

Visit to physio at the hospital this morning, couldn't wait to get home and get out on a lovely warm day. Left at 11-15 am, Wrexham-Bwlchgwyn- Llandegla-Nant y Garth pass-Ruthin-B5105 to Cerrigydrudion-Pentrevoelas- turn right,up the B5113, fork left onto B5427 to Llanrwst, right onto the A548 to Abergele, lovely road, good surfaces, lots of bends,great scenery. Stopped for a snack at the Whistlestop Cafe in Rhuddlan, then home via St Asaph-Denbigh-Ruthin-Nant y Garth-Bwlchgwyn. 104 miles in total.Just finished removing all the dead insects on me, the bike ,and the visor, ready for tomorrow. Saw quite a few bikers, but no foccers in sight.

Stuck a new tax disc on it so I can go out for a ride tomorrow

stevierst · « **Reply #514 on:** 07 June 2013, 07:25:04 pm »

Stuck my tax disc on too. Then I got a posties note through the door saying my juicebox had arrived from USA. But I could only have it if I paid the £35 duty fee!! Gutted, yet elated that its finally got here. Can't fit it tonight either as I'm working nights

ponkster · « **Reply #515 on:** 08 June 2013, 09:03:52 am »

Finally got around to taking the fairing off - ah that feels better!

Just fitted the airfilter after the airbox mod, and plumbed in the TB juicebox. Only took an hour start to finish, now its playtime >

What is a juice box apart from catching the juice out of my freshly squeezed oranges!

Its an alternative to the power commander, but it can store up to 10 different maps, and its a bit cheaper.

The result from the ride out is impressive! Better mid range throttle response, feels like it pulls a bit harder at 7k plus. And then there's the induction noise!

Did a refill after 105 miles, and according to fuelly it returned 41.7 mpg!!! That was 'spirited riding'. Not bad for a gen 2. All I need now is a decent fuel map that will support the trimmed flies mod.
Any takers??? :

Missed delivery of my new can today. Bugger. That means I won't get time to pick it up til Wednesday, so can't fit it till next weekend now.
Ordered in fairing inner panel damper strips - went to collect them today and they'd only got six in (thought there should be at least ten). So also got to put up with annoying buzz until at least Weds too.
So I thought, sod it, I'm off to burger wagon at Hein Gericke on the A40 for lunch. A40 blocked by car smash up! Fortunately, didn't have to wait too long for police to allow traffic to start slowly filtering through. One of those days, should have stayed in bed

Filled up with Shell V-Power today, having just run a fuel system treatment through the tank to try to cure stuttering on over-run at about 3k rpm. Still not cured so more serious measures required, but I'd forgotten how the ol' V-Power improves general running on the Gen 1s. Definite improvement noticed.
Still not ready to take it in for full set up and Ivans while the weather's so good though. I can live with it for a while longer...

Met my mate Trev in Cerrigydrudion, then Pentrevoelas-Llanrwst-Conway-Sychnant Pass-Bangor. Spent a couple of hours on the pier, taking in the views, eating the homemade scones and drinking coffee. Returned via Conway-Colwyn Bay-Betws yn Rhos-St Asaph-Denbigh- Ruthin-Wrexham. 145 miles. Traffic not heavy at all in spite of the glorious sunshine.

I have had my Fazer for about a year now and this week I thought I had an oil leak. I took a closer look today and it looked like it had seven years of old chain lube caked behind the front sprocket cover. I took me over half an hour to pick it all out
