Workshop Day - Colchester Essex - April 7

[Kev L]

I know it sounds bad but I have my fingers crossed for poor weather over Essex on the 7th, needless to say I would like blazing sunshine over the Channel islands.

fingers crossed for you mate, you might be asking a bit much tho

OK having checked via Google I can confirm that the services at Brook Street Roundabout consists of a Total filling station & a noodle bar called Mizu (???)

So don't go expecting a Little Chef for breakfast + it's not open until 11.30!

There may be a tea-bar trailer in the car park, weather it will be open or not is another matter, but expect that the filling station will have the normal range of consumables that they all seem to sell at inflated prices.

See you there.

mmmmmm....bbq
no pressure wicky

[Wicky]

Slight technical problem - I ain't an Aussie nor do I have a BBQ or an empty oil drum in the back garden.

Suggest folk bring a packed lunch /stuff they can fry up / or chippy round the corner. If we're lucky there might be tiramisu courtesy of Vik .

If folk mechanicing can eat tons of margarine before April so they can bring the empty containers to put their nuts and bolts in, or a magnet to find em...

Parking should be fun so those planning to work on their bikes should arrive early to grab a sunny spot in the rear garden - others will have to park in the street or on my front garden (bring a sidestand pad or tin can to flatten). There's a an empty house opposite and if no one moves in before April that should provide overflow parking

[agentpineapple]

should be fun and noisy......

Just use the tray Honda have already provided under the seat.

And a squat opportunity opposite might be useful.
Anyone homeless at the moment?

[StormingHonda]

I'll be there, wanna fit these Manual CCTs, not done it on a bike before so gonna need a little guidance if I get into trouble.

Would it be a good idea to get some photos to add to the fitting guide on here, to help people who would do it at home?.

[agentpineapple]

it'll be good to see you there buddy, just let wicky know what you are planning to do on the day, they need an idea of whose doing what, theres only so much time in the day and all that....
