So who left a 12mm hinged ratchet combi spanner at my place at one of the W/S days recently?
I've ended up with two.

And BTW there's a 1/4 drive 7mm socket left over as well, seem to recall these fit the adjuster on the carbs, if that jogs your memory.....


I'm now officially taking a break for the summer, and getting on with sorting my own one out.
So no more workshop days until the autumn.
About time someone else ran one!

I think it is Bennys shy and reserved way of volunteering to run the northen england workshop days............he can see the opportunity to blag free tools off those who turn up.

Funny enough they all ride in like lambs, worrying about the CCT's and unbalanced carbs and whatnot.

Bit different riding out, though.

Time for another one, several people want things like CCT's changed; carbs balanced etc, so let's see what the demand is for a Saturday in March.

For any new folks, have a read on this thread and see what it's all about, but basically it's a chance to head over to my place in Sevenoaks, Kent, work on your own bike or I'll do it, usually we get some people who just want to see some jobs being done so that they can do them themselves later, or work on their own bikes while I cast an eye over their shoulder to make sure they're doing it right.

Bazza and Jonesy, are you up for joining in again? Your help very much appreciated.

If Jonesy comes over then we'll have a brake expert to hand as well.

Taking the good lead set by Tony, If there is enough interest, I could be talked into doing a Midlands workshop day.
I am based in Solihull, so all the Midlands and any mid Wales owners should be near enough

Carb balancing, stopper mods or manual CCTs, valve clearances, brake bleeding, linkage bearings that kind of thing.....Bring your own parts but I have the other tools [ABBA stand and a set of hammers and angle grinders that only a Farmer could collect].

April / May time depending on my work schedule
