2nd Op Devon-Storm 2016 8/9/10/11th July

[VTR Phoenix]

Left it as late as possible but I'm out. Bike not ready due to work commitments. Tanks on and running 9sounds bloody great with the microns) but no fairings, lights, MOT or number plate. Not happy but final push wasn't enough.

Bring the other bike you don't have to be on a Storm.




.

order a plate off the internet for £7
what lights do you need? I can lend you a set of lights
fairing don't have to be 100% finished, just whack them on the bike as is.

Thanks for the offer agent p. Only lights I'm missing is front indicators, never got round to deciding what ones I like. Still so much to do. Front brake is binding on the right so poss stuck piston (did rebuild but maybe some powder coat got in there when I had them done or blast media wasn't cleaned out properly), carb sync, possibly mixture adjustment as left can gets blisteringly hot in the space of a couple of mins so could be running lean on rear, nice smooth idle, rev up and no choke required on start up so might just be carb sync, mot, shakedown run. If I had another week I could do it, fairings sprayed but not lacquered, if I use them as is I will have to start again when I get it back.

[quote="Pete.L"]That's a shame. I've been following your rebuild thread and I was really looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
Make sure you don't break it before the next one. I'll have to see it then

I'm sure there will be another opportunity soon and then it will be done.

If you get bored, check out the bands on at the Forum. It's a converted toilet block, awful acoustics, but good beer and always a good craic.
The Beat and Toseland are on in October, (not together...) but the only bands on this week are on Friday night.

one more sleep till we get no sleep!!!!!!!

looking forwards to great roads, beer, chilli, Madam martys nipple tassle dance, Mac putting mousetraps in his own pants, Tonys first joke [but not the other 500 ], Grumpys booze, the GLSRvs popkat farting contest, Bazza's medical kit, PeteL's male grooming tutorial, catching up with Jonsey after he has come out of his 3yr hiding, any op storm virgins that dare to get initiated, fried breakfasts, golf, nicking rollups of Bazza and Mac, chaletfest late night music player, the return trip home via wales with Grumpy.......... even looking forwards to any rain showers.


bring it on

[bazza696]

I concur, it will be nice to get a good few of us riding up from the south east, we can cause more havoc on the roads than normal.
