Cheers Lloydie couldn't have don't with out you

Got a new battle-axe fitted I hate scrubbing them in! when my son gets in (I hate using paddock stands on my own) im fitting a 43t sprocket and 2 moz I'm gonna go for a nice ride see if it makes much difference as long as the sun's out it's lovely today

Replaced my high level MiGs with the original exhausts. Not through choice but necessity as my right hand can/sleeve fell off on the M6!
Don't like the sounds of the originals, they are too quiet (I had the MiGs on for 15 years) and there's now an exhaust to hit my heel on when I pull away from lights etc.
Will replace both sleeves on the MiGs but they are non-standard size, being 96mm and aluminium. I can get 96mm carbon sleeves, but need my blacksmith friend to custom make me two end caps as I can't find one (or two) anywhere

The MOT man , he say "Yes"..

Last time I went out on it, on a brief ride a few weeks back, it wasnt running that well, a little bit reluctantly I popped some fresh fuel in it after the MOT and bugger me, it was flying, hitting 120 with no bother, not sure whether its because the fuel I had in it was a bit old(but the 350 ran fine on it) or I hadn't put enough in it(only a few litres I think) I dont know but it has a great kick to it as the PVs open and is revving out beautifully, sounds bloody marvelous too.

Hooked up with my NS400 owning mate and had a had a thrash about for most of the afternoon, getting off on each others 2 T fumes! Very chuffed and relieved.

Outstanding Podman! Your comment about enjoying each others fumes made me chuckle and bought back happy smelly memories of chasing my RD350LC riding mate in 1984 on my CBX400.

tore the rearsets of the blue one and started again. they sat far to high so lowering mounts made and back on...

I was under the impression you were not a tall lad!

I did say that they were high mate, it is set up for race use after all.

Had to wait around in the travelling "Snapon" truck this morning for another guy to finish his transaction. Total spanner porn. The one item I needed somehow turned into four. Luckily I managed to pay for the stuff before I saw anything else.

I'm currenty playing with my new ratchet driver, feeling that exquisite series of clicks. Snicking the lever. Plunging the head into sockets..... I think I need to go and sit down.

that's disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you pervert sitting in the house with your tool in your hand.

did they have any SnapOn blue pills to help you older blokes to manage to keep your tool active for more that 1 min

I've just used it. I've used my tool!

Got the Storm out of winter hibernation. Tyres and brake pads to scrub in. Found some bumpy roads then tweaked the headstock brearings. Shimmy has gone.

Haven't ridden it since November, been hacking around on a single cylinder KTM. What a difference. What magnificent machines these VTRs are.
