I'm still here. Since I started my new job the BLUE BEAST has been parked up at werk. Bout 5 months now. Battery dead and choke cable snapped. Deefer still has all me bits repaired and sprayed up and I have all the other bits and pieces. All is paid for apart from the handlebars and timing cover. I'm on catchup money wise for another month then I'll get me ass up to Mark's gaff and sort the bike and I'll be ready to go. Be good to see the crew again.
Mr Christo gonna drop by today and we may nip over to Punkstig's boat and make him walk the plank.

Title: Re: We need a LOFO revival
Post by: Dead Eye on 07 September 2014, 05:16:25 pm
We all did well today - three of us turned up and not one of us met any of the others haha... all our timings were staggered

Still, was nice to get out although it took longer to get down there than I thought for and my route sucked - A1(M), M25, M1, A406

Opted for a different route back and played on a few of my local roads then nipped over the Halfords to get an oil pan... to which the sales guy suggested I just buy a £1 washing up bowl, which I subsequently did, after I spent a good half hour talking to him about bikes :P

Got home and the thou now has a nice lot of fresh oil and for once in my life, I didn't spill half of the old stuff all over the floor :D

Hi Red.

Despite getting a day pass to go, play and see some bikes I'm afraid I'm going to have to duck out if this as my wife has had an accident today. Nothing serious but she's in a lot of pain. I don't think she'll have made a recovery enough by Sunday for me to go to play. Sorry Matey.

Another time.
