After finishing a project VW golf I finally got my bike out of the garage tonight, a sorry state it looked as well. Gave it a hose done to get rid of the dust and webs and then a wash. Tomorrow (Wed) it will be getting a new subframe as the original is bent from when i binned it a Cadwell a few years back. The Shock will be going back on and the new chain & sprockets will be going on too. Still got a few jobs to finish from the spray job. I plan on spraying the tail section again as i am far from happy with it (note: when spraying anything, DO NOT change the spray gun half way through the job. Same spray gun from start to finish) Still gonna be a while unless some funds pop up out of nowhere for a set of tyre's, It is insured but no T&T. When is the club aprilia meet? That might give me some incentive to get a wiggle on and get there for that weekend.
Minor jobs to do but hope to be there.
I'll keep you posted
Edit: Just found out it is this coming weekend......Not a chance of me getting it sorted by then....ah well.....whats the next meet up?
bike time now

Do you already have a subframe Paddy? If not, I do have one squirrelled away.paddyz1 wrote:After finishing a project VW golf I finally got my bike out of the garage tonight, a sorry state it looked as well.

Club Aprilia Meet ..... just 3 days away ..... you'd better get one hell of a wriggle on to be ready !paddyz1 wrote:AWhen is the club aprilia meet? That might give me some incentive to get a wiggle on and get there for that weekend.

Not sure many are going from here this year - there's not been much discussion about it.paddyz1 wrote:Yes thanks I have got a nice black one ready to go on but thanks. Defo will not be able to get there this weekend which is a bummer. Will try to get to at least one meet this year...
I won't be camping this year - if I get there it will be a day-trip on Saturday (assuming my kit has dried out from last weekend)
Aim for the Ridersite Norfolk weekend in September - it would be greatd if we can get a bumper turnout this year.
