Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

today i have mostly been changing the gear selector shaft as i jammed it into the wrong gear the other week on a track day at darley moor and have bent something, if this doesnt cure it then its a gearbox out job to look at the selector fork.

Getting the wheels off the track bike today, hoping to get the new rubber fired this week.

All was going so well until I realised I needed a 20/22mm socket for the front and I haven't got one..

What rubber is going on Nutz ?

I picked up a set of supercorsa scrubs at the end a the season. They've done a race apparently, but hardly look like they've been used.

Going to be making the trip back home today. However popping by where my nan used to live first for a couple of snaps then back down south where it's warm!!

Lol, cheers for the offer mate. Of only I could afford the plane ticket.

Supercorsa's sound good Nutz.

If carlsberg made tyres they'd probably be supercoras, haha

Froze my nads off riding into work.

Its very deceiving out there as its blue sky's and wall to wall sunshine here but I imagine its cold when you get out in it.

Frost on some of the fields this morning.

Bled the front brakes.

When I get chance I will also give the callipers a good strip down and clean.

Mike at MES is bringing the 748 back tonight from its big biennial service

Bike has a clean bill of health.

Mike does sound a top bloke. I think you lads in the Midlands have a top guy to help you out and look after you

Not the cheapest but he is very trustworthy.

I've used him for years and he's never let me down.

People are happy to pay for good service and clearly this is what Mike delivers. Just wish he was nearer to me.

I think for the 748 he is excellent value.

Its not the cheapest but equally not the most expensive either and the last time when i removed bolts for a winter clean up some 9 months after he had serviced it, many of the bolts had copaslip on the threads.

He's just dropped it back and said that the plugs didn't need changing so he left those and the fuelling was still perfect from last time. Not sure many places would leave plugs in if they didn't need changing.

Might give it a bit of a shakedown now and will try and bring it to at least part of one of the Wales days out.

Be good to see you mate, it's been a while.

Definitely good to see you Duke and very much like to see the 748, you've done a lot of mods since I last saw it.

It is fecking awesome.

Just been out for an hour to test it out. Runs like a dream

Spring/summer evening ride outs are my fave time, little traffic and no scamera vans. We ought to arrange an evening run to the A483 maybe.

Yes i will be there on 17th all being well. Has been too long since i saw some of you.
