Near Brands Hatch, so can get into town.
Better roads out in the stick, though!

Doesn't seem to be any interest in rideouts this end of the country, so let's see if we can get a bit of interest this time.

There's a biker meet-up every Wednesday evening at the Oakdene Cafe, at Wrotham on the A20.

Starts around six thirty, cafe closes at ten. Best fried breakfast you've ever had!

I can usually get there any Weds, is that any use as a meet-up venue?

Otherwise there a re a lot of bikes there on Sundays as well, so that would also be a possibility, if you'd prefer a rideout as well.

What do you think?

I'm in, assuming I get the bike back together again- doing a few jobs today/tomorrow, but should be finished ready to take it out on Sunday.

Job list:
Change oil/filter
Fit ignition advancer
Change RH engine side cover (newly powder coated), with rebuilt bearings/water pump seals.
Fit various new shiny bits.
Install Factory Pro carb kit and get main jets to the right size by seat-of-pants testing.
Finish t-cutting resprayed fairing panel and polish.


Better get started, then!

Right, everything done except the carbs.
Oh, and I need to check the TPS and re balance the carbs.

So Sunday's definitely on!
PM on it's way.

Anyone else in?
