Think I could be a strong contender. Get's me self up plenty early to wash and pamper my lovely blade coz today I'm gonna do the shake down ride after all my modding, to work, via Ogwen and Llanberis Passes......how smug do I feel, my bike looks wicked, it sounds even better and sweet b' jesus its a shit load faster than it was.......chuffing well 'get in' I'm thinking.......and ya did it ya self (with lots of help from you lot). hmmmm smug as Tyres are just about warm 3 miles out and I let her off the lead .....HOLD ON TO YOUR PANTS Twat arse shit bollocks she cuts out. Try to start again a few times, strong smell of fuel, shit I'm stood in a pool of fuel Fuel line has come off due to my numptyness fecking new fangled quick release pipes Start to push home as have removed tool kit when installing PCV After a mile of sweating in my leathers a kind soul on a GSXR 1000 from bangor offers to go fetch me some tools, 20 mins later and lines reconected and were off......are we eck us like, battery is flat after previous efforts. Still got to push to top of the hill for a bump......vrmm!! now we are on it and by god did she get a thrashing. Anyway a few pics.
Ha ha cracking morning then!! well done on the mods n gerring going again love riding through the Llanberis Pass, views are amazing
Aww bless ... don't be too hard on yurself ... I've had my tank off about 8 times now and those connectors are a real pain in the backside It did the same to me once but I was lucky as I had to lift the tank just to sort the overflow pipe and it popped apart there at home . So I could have been in your shoes/boots if I was more unlucky
Are you in a foreign country? That writing on the back of that wagon is a bit suspect? I mean no vowels in there at all.
I love the Llanberis Pass, however only done it in my Chrysler MPV with the family. On the blade it must be awesome. The sound bouncing off those mountains must be epic, much better than the screams of the kid forever repeating 'are we there yet'!
After all my previous headaches with the pooter refusing to speek with the bike, I thought i'd got it licked. I'm used to petrol taps and jubilee clips. Still I didn't go up in flames......met a genuine geezer on a gsxr and had one hell of a ride (ON MY BLADE!!!!!!!!) and despite my embarrasement I feel very chuffed with the results of my first proper go at blade fettling AV IT!!!
