Meet in Tavistock town square 9am, and we ride at 9:30 to Plymouth and meet others at GT Motorcycles.
Then off into the South Hams and the Dartmouth ferry.  Having done Blackpool sands.
Spend a few hours at the BMAD show and then rider back to Tavistock via Dartmoor and Princetown.


Bring a full tank.  A few pounds for the ferry and entrance to BMAD (Charity event)


Speeds - very sensible.
Group riding rules apply.


Please let the sun come put to play.

Picked up a Fazer 1000 to use for traiing and general running about.  Could not resist, 03 plate with only 6000 miles on the clock and the body to go with it.
Two things I want to change right away:-


Wind blast going to try the MRA screen to be able to change it on the fly!  Any good?


I have a small Givi box for paperwork spare radios and my lunch box.  Any feedback about how it might effect the ride?


Longer term.

ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND (VENTURE) CAPITALISM

You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by
your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption
for five cows.
The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company.
The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public then buys your bull.

Hi

just to clarify.......the two rear brake pistons should move the same amount as each other??? so every 1mm the one moves...the other moves 1mm at the same time? because mine dont  :rolleyes  (the one moves just about half the distance as the other one)

Caliper
i rebuilt them 4 years ago (14k) but re used the seals. Im thinking of doing it again but with new seals. So theres 2 seals per piston isnt there? i ve just read the other thread on here about seals and the price of OEM ones!!!  :eek  some one said the Nikon ones are good, any one used them on a rear brake?

Master cylinder
im thinking of overalling this as well. Never touched any master cyclinders before, so what will i need to replace? i guess these seals / boots will be stupid money for OEM ones so what are the alternatvies?

Hey guys, found a crack in the bore of cylinder 3 so i'm gonna replace the barrels, is it necessary to drain the oil for this? I'm not entirely sure how high the oil level goes inside the engine when it's full? I've only ever gone as far as removing the head which doesn't require the oil being drained. Would appreciate any help

Having had a bit of fun on the French side of the channel for a couple of days, we arrived back in Portsmouth last night in what is best described as a monsoon.

Only after 15 miles did I discover that my waterproof trousers were not waterproof and after getting home (another 55 miles) discovered what North Sea Syndrome really is :rollin

Note to self, get some Nikwax or some plastic pants before the next trip!

Anyone got a spare in good nick?

Send me a pm or whack up a post Inc p&p?

Cheers
