Pedro its simply cause 99 % of us aren't riding at the moment..most are still dealing with mid winter conditions...unlike you..who's experiencing spring...the lack of participants isn't cause of you , in fact you did and excellent job, and thanks for taking the time ...

Well that recommendation sounds like the kiss of death

Saul is excellent candidate for BOTM mod gig...marcel approved...

So unlike you to go off on one and fuck everything up for yourself. You stable genius you.

What could possibly go wrong?

Bugger! I could have took a photo on my epic ride to the hospital today.......I parked in the bike/motorcycle area, next to a R1, when I came out after visiting time he/she had moved the bike along 2 places!.

Looks like a job for @Six30, unfortunately he flounced like a pussy. Better call @Saul

I am going to give running BOTM a break, at least for a few months. If someone is up for doing it, now’s the time. I hope whoever does it has fun.

It's was a lovely sunny afternoon here but it's my Mrs's birthday today. Probably not the best day to fuck off on the bike

Yes....lol...Pete and Phil were pissed and I was promptly demoded...lol.

I will do it if no one else want to. I would appreciate your help for the first Month @Pedro if no one else steps up.

Think I broke Pedro with the qwad...lol.

May I suggest one of these.

The Sprint is ready to be used, I won’t say finished as it has done 50,000 miles and is 28 years old, there is always going to be something. Only thing left on the list for me though is a wheel refurb and to paint the valve cover but apart from that I don’t know of anything that needs doing. Both of those will be a next winter jobs. Last few new bits for today. I bottled using the black plate so bought a new standard one. Also a new Triumph vacuum line for the fuel tap, I wasn’t happy with the line on it. Also a new knob for the fuel tap as the original one is blobbed up with Araldite or some sort of epoxy. Before refitting the clutch cover I stripped and checked the clutch. All friction plates right at the top of the Triumph spec at 3.8 mm or just above. The plain plates all had no measurable warping. I would hazard a guess that this is not the original clutch. While it was apart I fitted the EBC heavy duty clutch springs. Supposed to be 15% stiffer than standard, couldn’t tell really but the action seems much more positive. Hoping the slip I had was due to the slave cylinder which I have already rebuilt So all back together, just need to get some E5 and take it out for a shake down. Gonna wait for a dry day though and give myself every chance to get used to it before I go on any group rides. I so wanted to give it a major polishing but want to give the engine cases plenty of time to cure before touching them. They will get a satin finish and lose the shine over time, like standard.

I’ll help you with what you need. Takes a few minutes to set up the poll but it’s easy on a laptop. I also think it’ll get a better response being done by you than me, so thank you!

Well that was a shock, Shadow has just told me she wants to give up biking. Wants to get a car and learn to drive. I told her they are not mutually exclusive. We shall see, no rush to do anything.
