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 :eek2 Turned around and parked up before catching a bus and train. Strangely M&S had no thermal gear but plenty of sandals & t-shirts....

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.

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 8O 8O

After nearly 2 hours of cleaning they are looking like new again :biggrin :thumbup: :cool2

Glad your sorted, Tony will see you right, just keep the black coffee on the go, no sugar IIRC.

Re PM = Private Message

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... :thumbup:


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