cheers lads ,,just glad i didnt hit anyone as that brings a whole new set of problems ,,as a mate said to me it isnt exactly the speed you were doing its the weight behind the impact point and the thou are a bit on the heavy side for sure ,thing is ive scrubbed in tyres before without problems ,but these went out from under me as you say like ice,,bloody lesson learned anyway thats for sure  :thumbup

well yesterday got it out of the shop had new c+s fitted and new dunlop roadsmart 3 tyres fitted , out on it this morning as it was nice and dry ,,barely tipped it into a bend at the local shopping centre and out from under me she went  :'( :'( :'( slid for 20  feet or so and hit the biggest step around ,was only doing about 30 mph to my horror the forks got fucked up , luckily ive had the originals in storage with UNFAZED so hopefully the lower yoke isnt damaged " other than the nubbin broke off"and it will be straight forward swap ,the rest is pretty much cosmetic ,but still im feckin kicking myself  over it ,,frame sliders did a great job AGAIN  :lol ,,the right fork actually came back far enough to put a small ding in the frame believe it or not , should only be a problem if im ever selling it and that aint happening anytime soon,youd be suprised how much damage can happen with a low  speed spill,,
beware on new tyres guys  :thumbup

replaced the clutch cable "all by myself" :D  ten minute job,,as one thing leads to another decided to take out the air filter as it hadnt been cleaned or checked since it went in back in scotland while getting ivanized ,must be 2 if not 3 years back  :eek  i know im a tit ,it was black with the dirt even had a bit of rag in it ,dont ask me how that ended up in there :rolleyes  steeped it in kerosean and used k+n cleaner stuff i got from UNFAZED to to rinse off the kerosean ,put it in front of the hairdryer for an hour and by tommorro it should be fully dry.should be running a little cleaner then :D

spent the day zipping about town on the project ive been working on for the last few weeks,a tw 125 had been idle for a year ,,tank rusted through had all the bits off painted them with rattle cans but had the new tank painted by a pro ,,learned loads taking it apart and putting it back together ,even fitted the c+s meself AND had the carb and starter apart ,,with a bit of guidance from UNFAZED,, and spent the evening teaching my stepson to ride ,,he was buzzing and is now hooked and determined to get his own bike,,little does he know the tw is his when the time comes  :lol ,,little bit sad the project is over though ,,just needs some decals for the tank to finish it off .
