Fitted a set of those 'Flowing' indicators as mine were apparently crap and difficult to see.
I had to fit a new flasher unit to suit the LED's and I had an unused one in my tool-box. OMG, it BEEPS! What's worse is that it isn't a nice beep but a horrid screech. Guess who will be looking for a non-beeping flasher unit at the MCN Festival tomorrow?

My favourite 'bikers' cafe, Castlewood Cafe, near Uttoxeter, shut down in January. I heard last week that it had reopened recently, under new ownership. Decided to have a ride over from Wrexham on a gorgeous sunny day. I was delighted to find it open again, and they have restarted Wednesday Bike Nights. Have to spread the word to all the old customers who may not know that it has risen from the ashes ! Apparently it is going to be called K1 Cafe.

Not one I knew of but at least I now know where there's a decent café when I'm in the area.

Cleaned and re-oiled my K&N air filter. It seems smoother at lower revs, so I think it's done some good, either that or it's a placebo effect.
Also put some velcro (furry side only) under the top of my screen to stop it buzzing against the fairing, worked a treat!
Money doesn't buy happiness, but it buys beer, and that helps!

It's a bit far for me in the evening, Billy, 120 miles round trip, but I shall be there most weekends. The outside covered seating area needs to be rebuilt as it was taken away when the cafe shut.

A ride to the Spiders Web Cafe at Albrighton, Wolverhampton, to meet up with some old cycle racing friends from the 60's and 70's. Beautiful sunny day, quiet roads. I went via Ellesmere, Wem, Shawbury, Lilleshall.

Yes mate. As near as dammit 135 RWHP although he said it was running rich and could possibly do a little better if running a bit leaner.
He suggested going down in size on the jets but I'm not messing with Mikes work. He said it was incredibly smooth and the power delivery was spot on just consistently rich throughout. Does anyone know if a full monty runs a bit rich or not ? |
