Tony thanks for a great day, learnt loads laughed lots, and throttle mod works great thankyou, leonie says thankyou for letting her come along too.
Jonesy & Bazza thanks for sorting brake and clutch fluid out,
and i agree with Yeti it was good to meet some decent guys.
and watching Amos's bike being rebuilt from the ground up was good.
If your going to the Oakdene one eve tony i may ride out and find you and stand you a coffee.
cheers all

Guys,
What a fantastic day. Managed to get manual CCTs fitted and balance the carbs and learn lots in the process.
Really good to meet you all.
What a great bunch of guys and some awesome bikes. I still say the yellow is the way to go.
Tony and guys thanks very much for all your valuable input and time. What a great effort.
Once I figure out how to upload the photos I will.
I feel I owe you guys at least a beer for all your help.
Tony if and when you plan another one I'd like to supply lunch as a thank you.

I almost ran out of fuel on the way home as was having so much fun had to take it steady and get off the motorway early to hunt a petrol station out.

Believe it or not I saw another 3 storms on my way home that were not at Tonys.

Once again thanks and looking forward to some of the pics...... :beer: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Tony i reckon you should have a workshop day once a fortnight in the summer but without the mechanicals just the BBQ and plenty of beer mate.
