Went to try and sort out the suspension - got one damper rod loose then the others wouldn't budge. Then the bike decided to fall off the centre stand and trolley jack and fall over ... seriously considering just giving up and getting rid of it. I'm just sick and fed up of simple jobs becoming impossible because of some stupid paradoxical issue; aka you need to undo this bolt - that bolt won't undo - well you need to undo it - well it won't come undone and so on and on and on...

Maybe you need time to go off and think and do other things for a bit. Come back to the bike when you feel fresher about it.
No fettling - needs a gearbox change but I can't proceed with that if I don't have any transportBike is just being a pain in the ass and I'm fed up. Might just stick the old forks on it and see how it rides - probably not a good idea and I need to get it off of the floor first... not sure how the hell I'm going to manage that at current
I refitted the 600 shock and spring as could not get any clearance to the expansion bottle with the 1000 shock. I've ground the frame to get the eye to line up stripped both shocks to swap the springs and spent the last three nights in the garage and all I've achieved is lubricating the suspension pivots, it's now all back to standard. So either I'm to picky or I missed something. Answers on a postcard please...Fed up Andy
I have just been for a spin on lovely dry roads to Gloucester and purchased an Action Cam3 720p and 16mb mini sd card HD from maplins . So now look out , a movie i can make!!!!
Had a brilliant rideout to Brackley with some Foccers. Nice getting to meet some new Foccers, and get to know others better! I also now know I must never challenge Doddsie to a drinking game that involves beer.

Hey Jody, not seen you on here much but looks like you've been having plenty fun time without us..i'm not confident about getting my knee down to be honest, when im approaching a corner i feel like i'll upset the bike too much by trying to shift my fat arse across the seat, any tips about the weight on the seat issue, how far before a corner do you shift across? fras
Surely moving ones backside that far over isn't helping corner faster / improving balance?
