Hi Mac, iv just found Tony Mon so i will drop him a line. many Thanks nobby

Fitted new tyres, balanced wheels, fitted new wheels. Adjusted chain and lubed it. Gave it a wash and fitted new tax disk ready for a run tomorrow( fingers crossed it don't snow). Just noticed that it needs mot doing next week too. All should be fine.

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....

Wheels look good on the bike Jazz
Wicky try one of their outlet stores for last season bits. If you don't have one near you let me know what sizes you want and I will have a butchers in my local ones.

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.

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.

hi nobby
i've just been quoted tp only £62 pr mth by them....
and tpft £57.....

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

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

Bit dear for two months IMO, but if that is all you want you may have no option.
