I went with Mike Backhouse honda Silvewrwing,   Julian on a T-max,  Jaz on a honda 250 sumutorother.....a few more but the little grey cells have died off a bit now..

I remember a German guy the first morning yelling if the bastard who snores does it tonight i will kill him>>>>Jaz and Julian like a 747 going over your head....but al night. 

 Julian (Pikey)  was renowned for his snoring   i could hear him from from 4 rooms away.  

I went to another T Max meeting a couple of times, Mike Backhouse, Pikey, Ian (Bless him) and a guy from Sheffield.....can't remember his name for the life of me were there too.

Oh and Julians brother in law (Fall down Bob) was there too..  

Since then, I have travelled nowhere.

I went to that meet Clive, i won the Stanav for the longest trip to the site but never went to collect as i was in the Pub. On a Burger 650 at the time.

  All I got was a can of Red Bull for my troubles and travels.  

Had a damn good time there though.

What’s the back story on this friendship with Kraut @Clive did you meet during the war ?

Close...met him in 2008 at a scoot meet in Wuppertal (Germany).... it was fine while he was in Germany and me here in the UK...... but then he started coming to the UK...

I have no idea who this guy is but just tell him to FUCK OFF

I have got close to doing that a couple of times.

Have you ever told him you don’t run a B&B?

Nooo, I just told him that we have no sleeping facilities for him, which is not a lie because we have a table and chairs in our spare room now...

Will welcome him for a day visit then he can return to the Harwich B&B.

Go on, dude. You know you want to!

He goes to bed at 9pm every night, and gets up at 5am prompt.... spends 45 mins in the bathroom, then sits waiting for us to get up and make him a cup of tea, which must be Decaf, and comment that he had to wait a hour or so till we got up, and he only eats a German breakfast (cheese & ham) 

At 1pm he goes for a hours sleep every day, and complains if there are any noises.

What did he do … connect the gas supply to your bathroom plumbing ?

No gas in the bathroom, only natural gas.

Seems like you have a really strong friendship with him...

 

It was at 1st, but he has habit of just inviting himself to stay with us.

I could go on about his other requirements when he did stop with us in previous years, let's just say that he is a trying guest.

Almost.....Gundolf.  

Last time he came he asked us to take him to a pub for food & drinks, guess who paid for it?

And he likes to brag how rich he is, he will be getting others pay for his food & drinks......

Iam hoping it pisses down while he is in the UK and he won't come here.  

My German friend wants to visit us early in August.....FFS

Good job we have no bedroom or sleeping facilities for him....

Monday was 100f....yesterday 98f....63f this morning at 5am.....looks like next week is more of the same. We could definitely use some of that "pissing down" around here....help keep the wildfires at bay....

The rain this morning did not do much, the grass is brown, and it sounds like iam walking on Corn Flake when I walk on the lawn.  

16c and pissing it down!....... bloody wonderful.

Clean bill of health then ?

I will find out in around 2 weeks, they will tell me then if my tumour is the same size,  as it was at the last MRI,  or if it has increased in size, i am going for the latter.

Is this them?

Afraid not, they are a different shape.

These are the correct shape, and the correct (EBC) part code.  Thanks anyway.

Okay it looks like it's only EBC available for that bike but they're cheaper on Amazon and would be delivered to your door ...........

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/EBC-SFA661-Front-DAELIM-2013-2019/dp/B09473LGYY

I went on EBC official site and they only show 2 in the package,  I did email them and they said I would have to order 2 sets of pairs of pads, that looks a much better proposition,  better set up a Amazon account. 

Cheers Bob.

Does it have twin disc then or is the caliper on the rear the same as the front ?

It is fitted with combined braking, so there are 4 pads in the single front caliper, the pads are very small, about the size of a matchbox.....

M&P do them at £16..50p per set.......but £5 delivery for each set.... so say £21..50p per set....

What make are they @Clive, if you’ve got a part number I could cross reference them and hopefully find a cheaper alternative 

I looked on EBC site, and sent them a email, £19.50p for each set, then there is P&P on top of that.

Only part number I have is....SFA661 x 2
