Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

I got the Brembo's all round with braided lines now, and I got to say my brakes have never been so good. But then again I've never had anything else on the storm worth comparing them too. :lol: I must wash the bike and get some pics up of my latest additions. Got new levers as well. :D (:-}) I did ...

Don't blame you Murv, it was a bit hairy in places!

I got bounced around the A2 all the way to the M25.

Re: GRAINSTORM....2012 Workshopday. 16th June

That's the chappy (I think). His bike avoided the spanners, but he got straight into it by helping me with my CCTs. Ripped the tank off before I could even say "Hang on, let me get y lid off and stop the engine first!".

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

I haven't done anything, I was going to clean it, but my neck is buggered! I have all the observational range of a myopic woman driving a silver beetle over the QE II bridge (Bazza will understand). I either need to avoid sideways gales in flat bits of the country when I've got a tall tank bag on, o...

My flying banana was delayed in Essex waiting for those red ones from Witham :lol:

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

ClubMSV @ snetterton insist you rev to 5.5k DEPSITE what their site says. I was arguing with the sound tester and he had none of it. I took it up later with the guy who does the organising as he came round to see if everyone was happy half way through the day. He said he'd take it with the relevant...

Re: GRAINSTORM....2012 Workshopday. 16th June

Tony, I think you missed an item from the list: - Copious amounts of window cleaning spray and kitchen roll for visor cleaning. I shall hopefully be bringing all the tools I require to do my manual CCT's, although if there is a special Honda tool 179028475-12746 required once bits of engine are remo...
