Hope all went well in sunny Yorkshire today boys n gals?! Fantastic weather for fly-swatting & riding in Gods own county. As I said I would've loved to ride along but work got in the way. Managed to get away for 11am so rode up to Pateley from home. I did a circular route which went from Pateley...

Ahh right. Before I send out the drills then I'll put a 6.8 drill in too as that's the core size for M8.

Ok Don, I got your PM. If I'm right the studs are M7 into the block and take an M6 flange nut... someone correct me if not. That means the core size for M7 is 6.1mm diameter. I'm sending you 2x centre drills, one with a 1mm pilot & the other with a 2mm pilot. That should centralise the drills. T...

Second weekend trying to remove a snapped exhaust stud. Welding didnt work Dremelling a slit didnt work Mapp gas didnt work Drill wont look at it so I reckon its stainless. Send me a pm with your address if you want. I wont be able to reply so include a mobile number so you can text too if needed. ...

Hi Al - as above it depends when it is. I'll make one in if possible. Cheers

Hi, Mick, looking forward to meeting you on the Yorkshire run next weekend. Hi Tony, hello everyone... I'll deffo join you for a few afternoon hours depending if anyone let's me know where you are gonna be. Check out my reply to Mac on a different thread Tony. I've got o/time commitments Sat/Sun th...

Ayup lad! Hello from Yorkshire, God's very own county

Yellabell here, or Mick if you prefer. It seems I've jumped the gun and gone against protocol so I'm in this thread now formerly introducing myself ( & tbh chasing the 50 post target for PM's - so say hi...) Something I should have done earlier, before bombardiing you all with my daft questions ...

Hi Mac - I think its a really great thing you do with the workshops, fair play to you. Doing a bit of digging, it looks like you're chuffin miles away from me (West Yorkshire) - too far to attend even though I'd love to take part in future events. So for that reason, if you'll put up with me asking...

Halfords sell Castrol motorcycle oil Semi Synth 10/40 in 4 litre cans which is enough for a firestorm, £34 or £27 ish with your trade card.. HF204 0r 303 are correct fitment for Storm and cost about £7, £16 would be for a genuine Honda one, that is expensive though but then It's Padgets, everything...

I have used alternative filters, always. But i would not put car oil in a motorcycle engine. Yes, the grade may be the same but the formula and function is very different A motorcycle oil has to look after the gearbox and clutch and generally speaking bike engines rev higher. Stuart, enlighten me p...

In the past we have done a few more workshop days all round the country, so if there is interest I will arrange one for the Midlands (Worcerstershire). Not exactly local for you yellabell, but it will be much easier than Grain. Or there might be somebody up north that will also do one. That's bob o...

Ha! Yeah I know I've missed it, I was really meaning that I like the idea of fixing up the bike, doing a few maintenance bits with the guidance of likeminded owners. I'd probs be living out of Macs garage if I lived nearer. It's a fair round trip to twirl a few spanners for an afternoon.

Ayup you lot. Just about to do an oil change. I have a Halfords trade card so I bought 5L of Petronas Syntium 800 eu 5w 40 semi-synthetic. Hope that's OK? Padgetts are just around the corner from me so I was gonna get my filter from them but at £16 I got to thinking if I could find them cheaper else...
