With the forcast indicating rain and D-Rider in attendance I think I will be on the Falco. I've not got around to weatherproofing the Cafe Racer's electrics...

I have brakes once again!

Took a bit of head-scratching as no amount of pumping would build any pressure or push fluid through the system.
Eventually twigged that must mean no new fluid getting from the reservoir into the system .... and a bit of squeezing of the tube between the reservoir and the master cylinder removed the bubbles.
From then on the bleeding was easy.

Still a few jobs to do before I'm ready for the off but the most essential one is sorted. See you sometime on Saturday folks.

Which Saturday?

We have experienced your time keeping before


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Shame I couldn't stay the full weekend guys, but the time there was good as usual.
Thanks to tim for organising the weekend and Sharon for the cooking the evening meals the chilli was lovely.
Also met slickliner6 for the first time quite a jolly chap and was kind enough to let me loose on his hyabusa.
The way it gets to 60 MPH + 10% is ballistic. :smt104
I hope you guys enjoy the rest of the weekend and I look forward to may 2014 :smt112

And Pete .... On the same vein, being as you left Hanna behind, we're now deciding who will take her home and who will be signing her where ......

We don't want it. We've seen what's been in it.

Cheers to Tim and Sharon for the organizing and everybody else for the company. Even Pete who cried off on Sunday pretending to be ill.

And I even got my hat back. Even though somebody has drawn squiggles all over it.
Where ever I lay my hat.....

Thanks to all who attended, was a thoroughly enjoyable weekend and Shaz was pleased at finally meeting some of the 'RiderSite lot'

Hope all made it home okay. Sorry I didnt get a chance to bid you farewell Mart.. needed to start the logistics of moving a weekend rally kit with a small Corsa.

Also adding my huge thanks to tim and Sharon,great hospitality.
Had a great time,just chillin out drinking beer and generally chatting rubbish made a nice change from the normal toil.

Andy gave me an idea for the busa

Strap a jet engine to the back. (Huummmm now how do I do it??))

I still got the vision of gandalfs army marching into the Forrest to slaughter the tree monsters (pheeeewww what a battle).
