Marty, I'll bring the oil tray container and a couple of empty 4-5 ltr oil cans so you can do you oil change, I'll take the old oil away for Wicky.
Anyone got any spare sump plug washers just in case?
I'll chuck in as much tools, rags and other bits and bobs as I can.

What we doing for lunch? Is there a local shop for sandwich's etc etc?

Any electronics wizz's turning up? I have very bright red green and blue LED's in a single unit together with the correct resistors that we could try and make speed and rev counter back lights with.

I would not call myself an electronics wizz, but I know a bit.

I shall bring a good quality 12v test light, crimpers and an assortment of electrical terminals. And if I can find my multimeter (it's on the missing list) I shall bring that along too.

Tools: I'm planning on having a play with the carbs/mixture on my bike, so a small assortment of tools (to many tools weigh too much to carry on my back!) to do the job. I got one of those Carbtune (which i'm bringing as well) £60 jobbie screwdrivers kits. You know the long handle right angled ratcheting things. oh here you go, it's easier to show you!


Got my batteries on charge for stills camera, I'm also bringing that.

Breakfast: Double egg, bubble, beans, mushrooms, and 2 slices of buttered bread to mop up the plate, strong coffee and a fag. Then I wont need lunch. Mmmm

Should be a good day folks, weathers looking good.

(:-})

PS If anyone wants to shoot some video on camera/phone whatever. I shall bring my USB dongle along or hard drive (I'm sure wicky wont mind us using his computer to transfer footage). A bit of post production is what I got in mind! So if you give me the footage I will edit alongside with the pics, add some audio, compile something for the forum. If you are shooting some video, don't forget to bring the appropriate USB/firewire cable for transfer. The same goes for stills pics.

I wouldn't worry about the colour Yeti...you haven't seen BSM's bike yet!

For breakie if we can't get proper sustenance at Brook Street I'm sure we will find a suitable trough on the A12 before we turn off, Wicky has already pointed out a Greasy spoon at Marks Tey.

As for lunch there is bound to be a shop we can raid near his house although I think Wicky did mention something about a pack lunch being a good Idea.

See you in the morning.

[YETI]

test ride done ?
strange ....she feels very under powered ??
then i realised , i popped on a YELLOW bellypan instead of my normal RED one
odd isnt it , even a small amount of yellow lowers the bhp
thank goodness the whole bike isnt yellow , they must feel like they have a restrictor on .

see you lot tomorrow

[tony.mon]

I'll be heading there in the car, so will have paddock stands, a decent soldering iron, lots of tools.

See you there.

[tankslappa]

Have fun guys, given another week I could have come along too, well I could come along now, but with no tax, MOT etc etc!

Plus as Yeti will tell you, mine is yellow, and I live at the bottom of a hill, so it's a hell of a push to get it over that :-p

[Kev L]

Have a great day chaps, take plenty of snaps. Gutted I can't make it.

[VTRDark]

That's a shame Kev I thought you was popping along with a pinapple. Nevermind there will be loads of pics. And if your lucky we might get some video footage of BSM's cans for you and everyone else. If we post that, it might have to go with a warning as follows:

Warning This May Blow Your Speakers Please Lower Your Volume level.
