As I've been unwell for a while I took it put for a short trip to the coast just to get some sea air.

mcyoungy · « **Reply #89 on:** 16 April 2012, 09:54:44 pm »

Fitted an R1 gear shift joint. Makes for a much shorter lever throw.

Took the bike for the M.O.T. today and managed to avoid getting wet. Naturally it passed.
A nice looking bike that was being tested when I arrived failed because the rear brake pads were practically on the metal! Beats me why anyone would let them get that bad, but especially not to check them before the M.O.T. $:\$

Put a new BT021 in the back. The last one lasted 9,000 miles.
Cleaned it after Brands/Thruxton, looks like its going to get dirty going up to Assen.

I didnt bother with those initially, then fell off at 20mph and did some damage. I haven't crashed a bike I've bunged up.

Yesterday.
Stripped and greased head race bearings. Gave the front brakes a bit of a sort out while I was down there

Rode it to work and back. Nice.
