Happily dozing in front of the fire a 10:30 PM and the Mrs rings and has a puncture picking Shadow and How High up from the Pub. FFS, anyway belt out there and gave them my car to get home and I set about changing her tyre to get her car home. The flat tire on her car is Fecked as it has a split in the side wall, I was hoping to plug it but that wasn't an option. Anyway got the Space Saver out and on but I am sure that was down on pressure, I couldn't get the metal valve cap off to add more so had to chance it for the 7 miles to get home. No tools in her car. Never went above 30 mph and got home safe. Booked her car into Quick Fit for a new set of 4 tyres on Monday afternoon, not a bill I needed before Christmas. Timing is bad but it needs new tyres for it's Mot in January so not the end of the world.

He's made a lot of money for sure. I like that AJ put manners on him though, about time he had a reality check in boxing terms. Shame @Six30 flounced I am sure he enjoyed it.

Could try compressed air, that can work along with a screwdriver and possibly so squirty WD40 type of stuff. The vid is about fitting but it works to take them off as well.

Bloody Shocking News. https://gofund.me/2475ddc4f

Absolutely, that’s the fun part.

Pretty sure you need an 11 break between shifts by law in the UK. In my job we do 13 hour shifts (not all driving) and can't go over by a minute.

Small step to help fix the Sprint. Reference the slipping clutch I was told to rebuild the clutch slave cylinder as if it had been neglected it will stick. Known issue with the T300. I stripped it and was pretty disappointed to see it had spotless fluid and was clean. Bugger probably not that then. . Anyway I had the kit so fitted the new seal and spring and bled it all up with fresh fluid. Appears to be working well but not much hope of it fixing the clutch slip. But we shall see . As soon as I get the chance the next job is to get the carbs off and sort the tickover out. I’m not sure I need to strip and clean them as the bike is starting fine and running well, it’s just when I went to adjust the tick over knob it detached off the adjustment screw which you just can’t reach with the carbs in situ. So they have got to come off just to put that back together. Absolute pain in the arse. As it was ticking over fine but I messed with it. . I sort of hoping the carbs are fine as everything else on the bike seems to be well looked after but we shall see. I have a new set of carb rubbers so I will dig into it as soon as I get chance.

Of course he is German. Clever lad though.

Been out obsessively cleaning in the good weather. CBF600 Me CB125F Shadow NX125B How High SYM 125 Fuck Nut Been having a fun time, I do like shiny

Forgot to say that I polished all of the scratches out of the plastic covering the dials when I tarted up the front end. Looks much better and clearer to me now. Small things but it does make me happy

You've done serval K's then Skip.

I know have only done 40 miles on the Sprint, but it was a blast, Bike comfy and fast enough, I really liked it. It feels like the big old 1980’s bike that I can’t afford. I know when these T300’s were current they weren’t real dynamic competition for the Japs of the day but now they fit in a whole different niche. I can’t wait to get it right and pile on the miles.

How did you get on with the bike once you sorted it.
