Mr.R
Bollox once again it's my weekend with my little girls, shame as the old nails running well sweet and really flying.
12OO+ miles covered on the TT holiday without missing a beat*, snapping a chain, clutch pressure plate thrust bearing crapping out F'kin the slave cylinder, needle roller and seal in the gearbox shaft, fouling a fuel filter or running out of polish!...
Yeah like that's ever going to happen as I don't polish it anyway.😏
The 6 P's come to mind here chap...
Poor Preparation Promotes Piss Poor Performance.
*I adjusted the chain and lubed it once during the holiday, then cleaned and lubed it again on my return.

Easy answer Mr R. We shall do it this weekend and next weekend...😄

As per Mr R it's a girls weekend this week.
Shame you had to do so much maintenance Mr R, other than fuel didn't need to do zip.

But you weren't riding a 20+ year old 851/888 for 1200+ miles were you mate. 😝

Thats its then. Official ride out next weekend. Which will give Natty more time for his forks anyway. 😉

Plan for sunday is 10 am in Marlborough high street as normal. Then ride down to Steve b and on from there. To be discussed but possible hill climb near Salisbury? All welcome as normal.
Mr.R
I'm planning to ride up to Steve B's tomorrow, stay the night and drag him out for a few beers.
I've put my batteries on charge "Just to make sure"...
TBH I really can't afford the trip and I've got some 916SPS heads to overhaul and shim to bring some much needed cash in but...
I feel I can't keep giving you "Northern" types any more excuses before you have me down as a waster.
I've just phoned Pablo to see if I could drag him along, but he's on family duty as it's his daughters 16th.
He did say that he's be up for the next one though.
See you all on Sunday, I'm looking forward to putting some faces to names.

Hi Steve,
As you well know I don't do planing or rushing about in the morning, but I'm hoping to get to yours by midday or early in the afternoon.
I've seen that there's a sale on at some bike Mega Store in Swindon, Mother says that she'll buy me a new pair of boots for my birthday.
As you know I was looking for some at the TT recently.
Steve R

Let me know when you head into Swindon at the mega store, I will hook up and see you there? Its the old George Whites with Blade group just around the corner. I am heading down to Exeter after the Sunday ride out on the 888 so can keep you company on the way home😁
oilyfinger
maybe able to make it tomorrow, but won't be able to leave home until 10.30am. where are you likely to be around 12? weather and hangover dependant
Pompey
Blimey, long way for you to Phil... I reckon we will be at the Hill Climb near Salisbury. Steve B knows where that is. I am sure he will post it up. Be great to see you 😄
oilyfinger
Salisbury is about 90mins I reckon?
Dyno day today in Cradley Heath, taking the Edwards
Pompey
