After the snow cleared, I hopped on the bike and got a 100 yards down the road before it became clear I couldn't change up into 2nd gear without tearing some staples
Turned around and parked up before catching a bus and train. Strangely M&S had no thermal gear but plenty of sandals & t-shirts....

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
love the wheels jazz..........
are you running the standard chainguard with the pyramid hugger?
had a meeting of grumpy old single men at mine this afternoon, me,carl and lee, having a cuppa and talking nonsense, lee's bike is looking very nice with those numberboards...
got a bit more done on my bike, had a nightmare trying to get one of the c/f engine covers off....
i haven't used so much sealent on the new one....
just waiting for my new front tyre before taking it for an mot. does anyone know of an insurance company that will do a short term policy, for 2mths?
i figure that should cover our summer period easily.....

Hi Have you tried "Pay as you go" ? have a look at their web site -pay has you go, might be able to help you. wont be cheap though. 

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Gave it a bit of a wash down to remove the shite and road salt from the last ride. Really wanted to get out for a while, so took a ride down to see Marty & Carl in East London. Got caught in some really crappy weather on the way home, bike rotten again, might as well have not bothered !!!

Marty, no I don't use the standard chain guard I just use the one that is connected to the hugger. No issues at all.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
After a cold ride on the bikes and with the roads being so wet we decided to wash the bikes. Just as well because they were that dirty that they would have given a good run against the man in sandles with white socks a run for his money in the fashion crime contest. I have never seen my bike that dirty
After nearly 2 hours of cleaning they are looking like new again

Click on the users name you want to contact & it will bring up a new page, on there you will find a 'send private message' .
However I see from your later posts you have already contacted him. Sorted...

If you want a 'Private Massage' PM Virt, he's the go to boy for that sort of thing...apparently...
