Nute

Doesn't sound like you had a good day ... but at least she's ok, If nothing else she should learn from this. Getting a call to say your kid has been involved in an accident must be the worst ...

How does it connect / link to the bike frame? I bought one of the lifts which go under the sump a couple of months ago. I had intentions off cutting it in half and extending it so I could wheel the bike on and lift it compete ... haven't got around to the surgery yet so just put a plank on it and lifted the bike on that.

FFS, every month I think must take photos next time I'm out ... still haven't done so ...

Just got back, bloody knackered. According to the organisers over 1200 bikes attended, Guildford high street and a lot of the little side streets absolutely jam packed with bikes. Prob took me 30 mins to get out of first gear the start was so slow, just due to the volume of riders. At the restart at the regroup point it took me 10 mins to find my bike … only saw one other FTR, loads of nice Harley’s and stacks of R series BMWs, a boss hog v8, quite a few old 2 strokes to add a bit of ambience /fragrance … none of which I took any photos of … Live music at the Hogs Back brewery to finish

Enjoy it Bob, nice day for it too!

A couple of years ago mine decided to have a go slow and do erratic things. I messed about with it for a bit but then the HDD failed. I managed to get someone to recover the data luckily, and I do back ups more frequently now….

Over a thousand registered for the Guildford ride. It’s very cool to see that many bikes lined up in the main street & fun to hear them all firing up. The ride ends up at a brewery which is a bonus

A worthy cause, I' d sponsor you but already done so for a couple of mates who are going with me. Hope you have fun ( and its not raining ... )

Spent the afternoon getting exhaust manifold nuts off … something I wasn’t looking forward to but loosened them all up, eventually, without snapping any off. Just trying to talk myself out of replacing the studs …

Been fiddling with a non runner I bought a few weeks back. Changed the fuel pump plus fuse, plus filter, found the HT leads were connected all wrong, new starter motor, and finally got it started but only v briefly as not changed the oil yet. Tank leaks and suspect an air leak after the mass air sensor thing. Need to decide what to do with it longer term.

… out on the scoot each morning for a fry up breakfast

That looks lovely, and what a garage / workshop to have !!

It would be nice to put faces to the names but 300 miles there and back plus 200 miles on the ride would kill me. Still semi crippled after getting my back done.

Which one are you doing? I’ve done the Guildford one for the last 2 years and will go again this year. I’d put a link to my page up but I’ve had a few and would bugger it up.

… about twice as many times as I’ve ever got on a bike to ride it. Every single bloody time I forget to put my ears in, and have to take it off again to do it.
