Yes andypandy, Penicuik is nicely placed to get out onto the good roads around the Borders and i'm only 2 hours from Tyndrum where the real fun begins.
Gobsmacked Was given this about 3-4yrs ago by someone at work Stumbled upon it in my shithole of a garage and thought why not My BPOS is absolutely caked in dried on Wee Beasties from the Scotland trip So I sprayed the whole bike with it and went and made myself a coffee When I came back most of them were lying on the lift/bench having just fell off Damp cloth to wipe the bike over and can’t believe they’re all gone Scooped them up off the bench and probably enough to make a wee beastie burger Well impressed
Just back from my first trip to Loomies, great ride there and back and bumped into Bad Billy (who recognised my bike) and his mate Dave, sound blokes and nice to put faces to names.
Been in the garage today and after removing all the wee Scottish beasties (see above) decided to carry on and convert my BPOS ready for the farmyard rally So off came the stylish top box and mounting and on went the sexy tow bar Then the sissy bar back rest and pillion seat was stuck on ready for fat Frank cos he’s getting a lift from me to the rally Cleaned and lubed the chain and adjusted the pre-load ready for fatty fatty faggoty Frank Glad he doesn’t come on here
Yes it was good to meet you Dave, we had already been to Whiteways Cafe north of Arundel, saw your post on Loomies thread so thought I'd pop in and say hello on the way back home. Did you manage to find the better way back which avoids Winchester?
Ah, good of you to drop in to say hello, good to me you guys too, yes mate, I took your advice on the way home to avoudy Winchester, much better route hey.
Technically, not today, but went to the Ace Café on Sunday ..and washed the bike on Monday. The rode it to Milton Keynes yesterday for an exam (which I passed). So great few days!
Set to the totally seized rear brakes on the Daytona 1000. Half a a can of wd40 a couple of cuppas & I could at least move the bolts. Some complete TiT must have used a massive bar to tighten it all up. Pistons were sound as I was expecting corrosion but nowt. The slider part though is still seized on so more wd40 & Tea lol. Life gonna get in the way again so hope to sort this at the weekend.
Another brekky at the H cafe. one of the better brekkys but the ride's a bit meh.... at least the RS is all ok now
