thanks mac for hosting a great day, twas a good turn out all things considered
it was also good to meet some new faces and see some old ones aswell, welldone murv for turning your back on fishing for a few hours at least.
fook me that was a windy ride home, although it was nice and noisy going home via the dartford tunnel
thanks to everyone who help me work on my bike today, even those that just stood around laughing.
i'm off to put some savlon on my pineapple abused spincter

That were a right laugh, sho 'nuff.
I worked with two owners checking valve clearances- all remarkably within tolerance, so no shims needed.
Fitted one set of manual CCT's, a set of stick coils, and a 6mm shock spacer.
And assisted Jonesy to finish those bleeding brakes.

Found out that mine has a slight misfire, better get to the bottom of that at some stage.

Here's a couple of pics of the final rideout home: (some had had to leave earlier)



Nice one, Mac and Frank.

That was so funny Tony's rag

I've done my thanks before getting here http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 18&t=24724

Forgot to mention my suspension. Bike handles like a different bike with spacer, so much more manoeuvrability. I expect the air in the tyres helped as well. Superb cheap mod, and I don't think I need a sidestand. The lean is not as bad as I imagined.

Have Fun.

That was me, I just saw it lying on the floor and it looked dirty so I used it as a rag, it was an honest mistake

Sorry Tony.

It's not a cheap a mod as you imagine....Rear 16 psi Front 10 psi.

So that's A fiver for the pump loan....Two quid per psi, 40 psi to rear that's 24 psi = £48, 30 psi in the front that's another 20 psi = 40 + 50p per leg pump that's 1069 x .50 =£534.5, then there's the 4 coffees at 1.50 but as you had 3 spoons of coffee in each cup that's 4.50 per cup......so that's.......another £18 oh plus the loan of the watering can & the water re -the spilt break fluid, I'm on a bloody water meter you, know lets call that £15...So £660.5 + MAT or Mac Added Tax...comes to £666, that's a nice round figure. The invoice is in the post Sir.

So not exactly a cheap mod then. Still it does stop & go round corners better now so well worth it.

sightseeing!

[MacV2]

Thank you all for attending, despite spending most of the first hour in the kitchen slaving away over hot bacon, I had a great day.

Thank you Chris for sorting my callipers out & persevering with the bleeding & of course sorting out the other 3 guys breaks. Top man.

Some pics are up in the who's who section, I will post more on the morrow, as I'm now off to stuff my face with biscuits.

Hope you all got home safe, it was a bit windy out there!

Cheers guys...Same again next year?
