Got the forks back for the blackbird so put it back together again

I've put the new pads in.

The SBS seem to have worn ok. There is very little scoring and pitting. They've not glazed. However, there is an awful lot of dust. I'll give the discs a good clean.

fill it with epoxy 2 part weld and try and tap it out again

... at some point (not quite sure of the french on that one yet :D ) but does anyone else have any ideas? It comes out about an inch and tightens again fine, but then just spins after an inch on the way out ;( Bloody garages do piss me off.

... even more you could tell it was a loose surface not just the rider being a twat (referring to me of course) then the moment you find clean tarmac again, normal service is resumed.

... with good firm overtakes. I feel for Dani, had he not touched then I reckon he had it. Absolutely fantastic to see Rossi back up at the sharp end again and if lorenzo can get it together at the end of the race then the rest of this season is going to be electric. Also, shout out for Bradl, good ...

Amen to that. He's a top bloke.

Rossgo I met you on a rideout round Wales and you seemed an honest decent lad. It's shit what's happened to you but don't let them take something you enjoy from you. I know you're down at the moment but maybe start having a look into a tracker and alarm system maybe? I know I've only met you once b...

You and your dad went for a ride recently. Did you go to any popular biker meets? I'm sure these places are watched. My cb1000r went about a week after I went to the Ponderosa. There were a few non-bikers there walking around the car park. It could just be co-incidence.

Pimping your body again on the IOM wont make you a millionaire, Bratty, despite there being some very wealthy people living there.

... and sadness! The first time I can live with but the other 2 things have really knocked my confidence. Well guess that's life for ya right! Cheers again for the time and effort :-)

have you ever tried ferodos ? Funny you should say that, literally just driven past the factory. Never considered them for bikes before but looks like they have quite a few different compound options http://www.ferodoracing.com/products/motorcycle/brake-pads-and-shoes/array-cooling-xrac/" oncl...

I've gone with the Bendix MRR. I should get them tomorrow. I'll do a review once they're bedded in. It wa a toss up between them and the mroe road orientated version but the bloke I spoke to said the MRR will be more than enough on the road and they're as good as the MF in various weather conditions...
