Ivanising Visit in June - Checking on Interest

[Falcon 269]

How's about doing a Multiguage visit?

  Not really much call, I suspect, and this something that most owners could do themselves. 

Even if they don't feel able to do the soldering, all they have to do is remove the gauges and take them to an electrical repair shop with the Multigauge and instructions.  It's a 30 mins job to mount the Multigauge and solder the wires.  Maybe a tenner in labour.

hi mike have sent you an email about having my bike ivanised cheers

[bobdog]

[Falcon 269]

Yup, all still on track.

Jet kits should arrive in the next week or so.  Air filters already waiting for me at my first venue.

I'll e-mail everyone with final schedule details, venues, contact numbers etc etc this coming week.

Cheers!

Hi Julian

Very sorry but I'm maxed out this trip already.  Thirteen bikes in 3 1/2 days plus traveling between locations means I don't have a spare hour anywhere in the schedule.

There was a thread here recently about the Multiguage, IIRC ... try Search to see if you can find it.

Cheers!

hey hang on,,,, 13 bikes 3 and a half days,,, thats 4 per day and the half day should be 2,, so make mine the 2nd one lol

[Falcon 269]

3-4-4-2, Julian.  Waltham Cross - Kinver - Liverpool - Manchester.  Monday is fly-home day, so no scope for problems or delays there.

I don't carry a stock of kits, either ... I order in what I need for each trip and no more.  I never know if each trip will be my last, you see.

Can we start to drum up some Scottish bikes for your next trip? How many do we need to make it feasible for you?

I'm approaching my busy summer season (pool maintenance) so I can't commit to anything now before the end of Sept.  The beginning of Oct is out, too, because of family visits.  So, it would be late Oct/early Nov before I could even think of getting over to Scotland. 

Not the best time of year to be asking folks to ride to meet me wherever I'm working.

However, to answer your question, a minimum of 6 bikes if I were to be working in one location throughout (say, Glasgow or Edinburgh-based) over a period of 2 days.  For a 3-day visit, I'd need 9 or more.

[Falcon 269]

Julian, please check your e-mails.  A window of opportunity may have just opened for you ...

[fazer-rat]

i'll be there mike,, how much please?

Hi Paul

Unlikely that I'll be able to help you this trip.  I'm not going anywhere near Norwich for starters ... closest I'll be is Waltham Cross and I'm fully booked there already.  Sorry.

Hope the shoulder heals faster than Ben Spies and Carlos Checa!

rode my new aquisition back from edinburgh to doncaster in the sunshine yesterday,, down the a68 and then i think the a629 to newcastle. (thanks jabbascot it's better than i dared imagine)
omfg that is the very best motorbike ride i've ever ever had.  travelled 40 miles at lets say very progressive speed and never caught a single car or hold up of any kind.   why did i ever sell my fazz. must have been crazy.
mike do you keep a log of the registrations that you ivanise cos i'm not so sure this one hasn't  already been done.  the power doesn't seem to tail off like my other one did before you breathed on it 
spent the afternoon cleaning it and fitting a rentec rack and some +25mm dogbones.
will take a couple of goes to bottom the muck but i'm in love with my bike again for the first time since selling my old fazz.
pics to follow when i'm happy that its clean.

[MEM62]

Mike,
Mine's already been done as you know but just wanted to say hi!  7 years with my Gen 1 now and still love it. 
 
Regards,

Hi back, Marcus. 

Seven years?  Sheesh ... I just completed a major overhaul on mine yesterday at 50k miles and 11 years of ownership. 

I think it's a keeper ...
