I'm up for another trip to Mac's. But can we have a little less wind this time please!

(No I'm not talking about Carl and BSM! The flippin' weather on the way home was 'orrible!)

Yeah yeah Carl, use me as an excuse, I can take it :-P

I moved mine out of the garage for a few days, because I needed the space for some work on the four wheeler...

Then it snowed!

Could have timed things a bit better!

Oh, and hello again, I bet you thought I'd died in a horrible disc lock related accident didn't you!

Dammit, why didn't I think of that?

I leave my bike to make all the noise these days ;-) Hello mate I was wondering where you disappeared to. We'll do a decibel test on your cans at some stage now the Olympics are over. Maybe when Marty gets back from his trip to Spain as he's disappearing again Monday. :thumbup: (:-}) Sure thing. If...

I have a tap system with the missus. If I tap her leg it means hold on... aka I'm fed up with these cars in front and the moment we clear the next corner I'm going for it. Quite often it won't be clear on the other side of the bend, so she's been told not to get lulled into a false sense of security...

I almost bumped into Mr Plod on my just removed baffles test run on Saturday. T junction just down the road from my house, was gonna turn right, but what's sitting in the traffic to the right, damn battenberg Volvo. So as I really didn't know what they were going to sound like above 3k, I opted to g...

Oh jeez Marty, I completely missed you'd come off.
Really sorry to hear that. Bit of cosmetic by the looks of things and at least you are ok, which is the important bit.
Wish I had some right hand side spares, but as it is I'm looking for an indicator myself.
Stay safe mate.

As expected, the other baffle was just as badly corroded... Sounds f*cking great though! Maybe a little too loud (is this possible). Normally toddling in traffic I might get the car in front moving over to let me past, now I get the next three cars moving over! Lovely off throttle burble too. Just g...

Looks very nice TonyW. Wrong colour, but the exhausts look good :biggrin I seem to have suffered a bit of corrosion... Very localised... Just the baffles... http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p581/realtankslappa/IMG_20120721_140118Small.jpg Other side seems lose too :wink: Don't worry, this "c...

Bump starting a 'storm... Now that would be a unique video It's a piece of piss, I have bumped mine in the past when I had a flat battery. Lloydie that sounds good, glad it's worked out for you. :thumbup: (:-}) You must have very sticky tires or a road like 20 grit sand paper! Whenever I tried it w...

A side effect is that it will make the engine easier (slightly) to bump start. Bump starting a 'storm... Now that would be a unique video on Youtube! It was bad enough trying to do my brother CBR900RRRRR 'blade, and usually involved me having to switch from pushing to throwing myself across the pil...

Wow you don't need to pin the bike down that hard in the trailer. You'll blow the fork seals! Sorry, blame my brother! He didn't want it going bouncy bouncy. It wasn't down that hard to be honest, they're standard (aka soft) forks. Ohh ohh ohh those disks look new. Where did you get them from miste...

Congratulations Rob!

I won't say that it's exactly my cup of tea, but f*ck me, the work that has gone into it is just superb.

I hope to get a close-up look at it in person one day.
