I've got the 1st 3 or 4 On Any Sunday films on DVD....just ran across the latest today. It's got a good collection of my 2-Wheel hero's in it.... https://youtu.be/-3QcBIOWtgo?t=5403

Well after another Friday/Date night in the books.... it's time to replenish the Tequila supply for next week... Woke up today to some much-needed Liquid Sunshine....

just had a thought @Saul... they recon people talk to plants and they respond... why dont you go in your garage and try singing to the brakes.... video it and post on here.

If it were mine....I'd rebuild the master cylinder & install steel braided lines. Sometimes the original brake lines can develop obstructions internally, trapping air & causing havoc....

Assuming the hoses are still standard, clamp the hose from the master cylinder. If it's still spongy you have air in the cylinder or time for a rebuild. It can be a bitch getting all the air out. The method I used on the R6 yesterday. Calipers hanging by the pipes. I have a milk bottle with a pipe running into it connected to the open bleed nipple, one side at a time. Topping up the reservoir and allowing the fluid to run through itself. Tapping and moving the calipers around. Once you start to get clear fluid I did up the nipple and operate to level a few time to push some of the pistons out a bit. Clamp the pipe, open the nipple again and push all the pistons home with your hands. Did this a couple of time per side and got a cracking level. Another is the big syringe connected the open nipple forcing the air and fluid upwards. Cover everything around the res as you will spill some. This way also works well. Have fun.

Hmm it doesn't register because its too low to register obviously

Don’t worry if you don’t hear from @Marcel for a few days, he is away at a gay swingers resort with his special friend.

You should check online to see how to open the valves on the abs pump for bleeding the system. Also are the front and rear linked at all, you may need to bleed the rear brake as well. Lastly a Mityvac is your friend.

if it was mine i would take it to a bike shop and let them sort the fucking brakes out

I am very tempted to do just that to be honest. I think I will do it in stages though as I will have to bypass the ABS if I go with braided lines as far as I know. The master cylinder rebuild kit is £30 so will do that first, if that doesn't cure it I will get some braided lines next.

Getting the bike ready to leave..doing the fundy trail this weekend...just two riders...

Marcels tractor could easily have won against both of them

How many time do you need me to explain to you , my intellec don't register on any scales....your peasant language sometimes goes over my head....in clear English please...

Bugger Ren, are we getting old! I ordered a new XADV 750 today the SE version another 8grand out of the pension pot with the trade in. But on the other hand, i could be dead next week. PS: the duff leg is no better..but we carry on.

there was a sonic boom from two typhoon jets near here today intercepted a civilian plane going in to stansted cause it was not in contact with air traffic control...

Coming off Salisbury Plain near Upavon.
