Mad Matt's Long Long Long Road to BSB Glory

Sorry mate it was a lie, i just checked their email and it is in fact £40...

 

I have my swb transit mate at work if you want to borrow it has a ramp and a bike holder thingy ma bob im only in Stafford if makes life any easier

 

Thanks Wedgie, its very very much appreciated buddy, just waiting to hear from a friend....

 

So spent the morning stripping the bike ready for its journey

 

Kinnell!


You're getting better wiv the Spanners Bud!

 

Not sure about that Jay but getting there mate. A typical disaster for me, fitting the SS sensor to the gear rod, i used a bit of lock tight to the nut that bolts the rose joint to the rearsets and this morning notice that I've managed to get it all over the rose joint and its seized

Putting everything together that I've taken off today thats some weight saved, the horn must be made of lead, i was using it for bicep curls....

 

Just spray a bit of Loctite remover on it mate then brake cleaner and work it . It will be fine

 

That's all well and good for Matt's Head but what about the Bike??

 

Ha ha

 

Huge, big, massive thanks to Daznorthwest and Wedgiewolves for offering me the usage of their vans to transport my bike to Colchester, cheers fellas you are both true gents......

Another friend who owns a security shutter business has decided he wants a day out, he will also be helping me out when i race with such things as new tyres Happy times.....

 

Good stuff mate your welcome anytime

 

Welcome anytime mate ... Glad your sorted

 

We set off at 4.30 in the morning for MSS Kawasaki in Colchester, being met by Nick (manager/owner) for a grand tour before we go over what needs doing to the bike. Will take my camera to take some photos. This is the paint scheme we have come up with but instead of green it will be yellow.....
