Those days are good.

I put the brake lever guard back on after losing the grub screws.

Made arrangements to pick up the replacement plastics for the kwak.

... I had a go at sorting it as I was just fed up to the back teeth with trying everything I could think of and failing. Things always seem easier after a break don't they? Oh yes I also sorted a problem with a mirror that's been there for3 yrs anda problem with the seat that's been there since ...

Totally agree all that crap after the England match crying saying that the uk fans/press etc has made his life a misery and he has shown them errrrrr no yes you can play football but STOP nibbling people its NOT normal. http://encinitashomes.lindasellsmoore.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Real-Estate-Nibbler.png

... and let your daughter come to her own senses at some point You know something ? if I went round and sorted him out it'd be the CPS would come after........

I can do salary sacrifice at work, but the numbers didn't add up for me to make it worthwhile. Especially as I'd need a decent towing capacity, and therefore higher emissions it seemed. I worked out that I'd spend almost 10K and have nothing to show after 3 years.

... that one had only 7 miles on it and i was a bit intimidated on riding a brand spanking new £20k bike plus i got caught up in loads of school-run afternoon traffic so go nowhere near riding it like it should be ridden. This time was different. Bike had been run in, the roads were muhc quieter ...

... wounding with intent. My mum told customers she fell down the stairs, yeah, that old chestnut. I told everyone the truth. I wanted him alienated. After a couple of weeks I came home to find him sitting in the living room. He was sorry, it wasn't going to happen again, he had given up drinking ...

... taken into account a clear motorway and how easy the blackbird is to ride fast on open roads. At the raven meet a nice bloke on an r1 (dale) Soon after blade , bratty and daytonandy turned up breakfast down and off we shot to Newtown to meet Kwacky and D6. Some of the roads were pretty straight ...

... in hot sunshine with the gallons of water I'd just used rising up and taking the humidity through the roof, totally shattered and a bit dehydrated after all that. This afternoon was sorting a present for oldest son (bike related).

Happy Birthday mate. Have a great day I'm sure Di will be spoiling you rotten and well deserved after great results at Oulton at the weekend.

Hope you are feeling brighter Kwacky, after a weekend of abscess pain I can sympathise. Hope Dentist is going to be kind to me today both in the chair and in the pocket.

Have a restful day recuperating

... plod home the engine all of a sudden lost all power. I pulled over and tyres to kick the bike over, the kick start to my horror was rock solid. After leaving it for a few minutes it began to free up, however, the engine now has no compression and will not start. It is possible that I got a bit ...

... but there were also set ups from Kawasaki, Honda and Yamaha and with me being one of the last there i was allocated a KTM. :D How lucky i was. After a briefing and run down of the afternoon to come, we were taken to a basic loop on grass just to ascertain that we were competent enough to be ...

... from there in a village called Horspath and when I'm out I usually call in for a brew on the way home. Next few weekends are a no no but anytime after that give us the nod and I'll wobble over. You won't miss my bike it's an all white gixxer 750, proper girlie bike :D

Having a well earned beer after the fire ground training. Been lugging casualties round smoke filled modules up ladders and down stairs with internal temps in access of hundreds of degrees thanks to multiple big class A and B fires. To ...

... heading for Newtown for 1030 hopefully to meet Kwacky. If anyone wants to do do anything different or role with the original meet at Craven Arms after the Raven please feel free to do so I seriously don't want to upset anyone as its a fun day out with mates. I'm going the way I know to the planned ...

... and found the problem. The plunger on the master cylinder wasn't sitting correctly in the lever. I gave the brakes a very quick bleed then put the after market lever on. Much better. Just for a sanity check I put the OEM lever on. It is slightly firmer. I think the plunger sits better in the OEM ...

.I've done a quick bleed of the brakes but they're still spongy. I'm starting to suspect it's the after market lever..... As I said previously.: I spent (weeks) overhauling an entire braking system in an attempt to eliminate spongy brakes. What really annoyed me in the ...

... straight away so was all relatively straight forward but I cant complain about them, Swinton on the other hand I wouldnt touch with a barge poll after having a bike stolen they tried to tell me I wasnt covered on a TPFT policy, I had to read my contract down the phone to them to prove I was. ...
