WORKSHOP DAY.

[tony.mon]

Looks like it's a runner,then- I'll suggest Saturday 19th March, let me know if that's ok for everyone.
Saturdays rather than Sundays, as it gives us a chance to nip out for anything needed while the shops are open.

And well done AmcQ for offering a Midlands/Wales WS day- the only caution I might add is to get everyone to check that they can loosen their inspection cap covers before they come along- it brings tear to their eyes when you start taking a lump hammer and chisel to their pride and joy while they're watching!

Why not start a new thread?

Now all we need is a Scottish one!

New thread started

And does the fact that I am scottish not allow this to count for both a midlands and a scottish one combined!

Also see from another thread that ABB and Dave came down from Scotland to do stoppers on a bike in Dudley..........and people say that the Scots are not generous

I was talking to a Senior Manager at work yesterday about the world cup. You see there was a risk that if everyone watched the world cup on their work PC, it may have messed up the network. He said his mitigation was to take leave and watch it at home. I said "Why, what was your interest? You are Scottish" He said "No I'm not, I'm a jordie"

O wombles!!

How to make friends and influence people!!

I'm up for both.
Had Tony help with my ccts so thats done.
Jonsey did a cbr replacement brake master cylinder and ss brake pipes.
AMCQ46 sent new (to me) disks so thats the brakes sorted.
my next jobs are front springs and head bearings.

Always a great day meeting everyone.

aha found the thread
was wondering if after tinkering will we have a little ride about to see if our beloved bikes have indeed improved from the days tinkering?

[tony.mon]

Damn right, ride out, if it starts.....












(only joking, they always start)

And a swap of bikes is always an option.

[Darknomad]

would it be cheeky to add some bbq action to the mix?
i have a good portable dj set also lol can really make a song and dance out of it
just options
as for bike id love to make mine better but im just plain ignorant on where to start and finish
suspension forks springs shims its scary stuff
on the day though i think ill pre order possible manual cct's or new originals for a mod and have the shims looked at
thats stretching my abilitys as it is

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.

I will be up for bringing a couple of sets of manual cct to the mix, and help out where I can.

[Jonesey]

What sort of time is the kick off Tony?
Usual meet up Baz?
Chris.

Come to mine first, have a coffee and Bacon sandwich ready for the long trip.

[tony.mon]

I'll be asking for people to turn up at 10.00, so that we can get all of the work done and leave a bit of time afterwards to get a ride-out.

We're looking like a few CCT replacements, undoubtedly one or two carb balances, perhaps a delve into an engine or two to see what we can do with valve clearances and the occasional steering head bearing change.
Mine could do with a brake upgrade, but we'll see what can be done with the time available and any parts Chris brings....

Please bring any screwdrivers, small socket sets etc, but I have all of the other tools you'll need for all of these jobs.

Anyone coming by car, could you bring paddock stands, if you have them?
I have one set, but we'll need more, probably...

Game on, as ever

[Jonesey]

For anybody requiring head bearings replaced/adjusted, I have invested in the proper tool for this so they can be done up to the correct torque.
SP1 master cylinder Tony?
