This evening, thinking it would be cooler by then  :rolleyes , went to:


Lanercost Priory:





Hadrian's Wall:





And at Birdoswald:











Then up to the Hartside to cool off a bit, where I did see:











(inb4  top , cars!)


Then Solway Firth at Port Carlisle:








Where the foccin midgies were hungry.

Love the pictures of the old Fords, I had a mk2 1600E for a for a few years.

Well yesterday now.


Noticed a real flat spot on my thou while on a ride out last week, and there has been a rattle from the bike which I traced back to the exup. So, got back and attempted a 'service' on the exup (great link on Pats page). The lower cable had snapped 


So, ordered the replacement slinky from Wemoto. Arrived the next day, brilliant service. So, yesterday was spent attempting to change the cables. The more I looked at what had to be done, the more I got a bit worried. I have very few mechanical skills.


Anyway, searched everywhere for a 'guide' but just had to go for it  :eek  [size=78%]eeeekk!!![/size]


Just over an hour later, the new cables were all linked up and time for a test ride. Smooth acceleration all the way through the rev range, no rattle. Bloody amazed, but I think I managed it!!!! Well chuffed with myself (and my lad whose slightly smaller hands were a god send linking up the cables to the servo)


I think I'll leave it for a few rides now, then get back into the exup and check that the cables etc are all ok. I'm assuming that if I hadn't linked them up correctly that I'd really feel it while on a ride?

[dickturpin]

Always good to hear a success story

That Hadrian was a lazy cnut he stated the job just got foundation finished and got the superstructure up a couple of feet and quit the lazy bastard.

The old joke was that you didn't swim in the Solent at Portsmouth, you just went through the motions...

is that in the naturist part of the beach?
[/quote]

It's at that end.

Many (many!) years ago I had a job at the Geography Department of Portsmouth Polytechnic (as was) and they had an aerial photograph of Portsea Island.

From the Eastney side (by Fort Cumberland) you could see this long brown plume coming from the outfall and drifting west all the way past Southsea beach...

[midden]

Sailed through mot with the obligatory once a year worn tyre advise 

[NorthWestern]

Replaced It!! Picking a fresh one up tomorrow with just 17k on the clock...

Not sure what to do with my current one, sell as is or parts. It's never let me down but is now sitting on 98500 miles and looks it. R1 forks, bmw s1000 shock, r1 rear wheel with no torque arm...

[downey]

was bored so started to tidy up the front end, forks need to come off ,,sourced forks ,brake disc and lights locally and am gonna try and make use of an old damaged nose fairing i had lying around, im trying to straighten the damaged stay that holds the lights but its a big ask,,anyone here have one they would part with ???  need a set of clocks also,,cheers guys

[Lord_D]

Just picked up my first Yamaha and first Fazer (Gen 1 thou), with full Ohlins internals front and rear shock.

I need to set proper sag all round and get things right, but even backing off the rear preload and a couple of clicks less compression front and rear has already made a difference for my style/taste.

Happy days.

[MMCMME]

Bike just clocked over 30k so thought I would give the valves a check.

Ordered a few shims which arrived today.

Also ordered new stainless exhaust studs (gona be such a laugh trying to remove old ones), new coolant and some shiney Simoniz engine enamel, may as well do the whole lot while she's in bits!

[nick crisp]

Changed the oil and took the rear wheel in for a new tyre. Another Euro trip imminent methinks

Washed and polished the old girl and went for a blast to the beach.
Beautiful day nice and warm not a cloud in the sky at the beach spent the afternoon reading my kindle in the sun.

[downey]

polished my downpipes and put the exhaust and rear pegs back on just waiting on a set of handlebars to arrive "758 ultralows" keen to see how they feel,,also waiting on my front wheel to be repaired ,,clocks and stay for holding the lights on the way from italy, had my old original fairing plastic welded and painted so its starting to come together  ,,couldnt bring myself to let it go,,,not with a years tax anyway  :lol
