Saturday 21st

Weather permitting I might go for a spin, anything going on within 100 miles of Grantham?

 

That's no then ;-)

 

I plan on walking like John Wayne all weekend as I am at Blyton on Friday, Hopefully will have recovered by Monday this time though

Not aware of any events or anything though.

 

Working Saturday

 

You work too hard Simon

Yeh right;-)

 

Am ok for Sunday

 

Angie is working Saturday simon hence the ride out, she is off Sunday so ill have to spend some time with her, now if she goes out, then I'll be free but I'm a little circumspect when it comes to asking;-)

 

Ok Carl well me know if you get a Sunday pass I will be out on Sunday anyway as I want to bed in my new pads before our next track day on 7th July
And see how the track rubber behaves on the road?

 

Picking up my new blade from Swindon

 

Hi Carl, I hope you and your good lady are well.

I might be able to do the afternoon........if the weather is good and L is in a compliant mood, I will text you in the morning if I can make it. It’s been a rough few months so it would be nice to get out on the bike and have a good old chin wag and a catch up mate......could meet at Wheels maybe and see what the burgers are like in the new cafe.

 

I'll be tucking into a hog roast on saturday as part of a birthday doo. Could do sunday though.

Just make sure they're not too cold before you set off, unlike i did

 

Will do, would prefer to stick my Rosso 2s on for the road really but got another track day in 2 weeks so seems silly paying to change them, maybe I need my own wheel changing machine like you have?

 

Guys, Sunday is also a possibility if that’s the consensus.

 

Depends on how often you need your tyres changing.
These would get you started though :-

What do you use balance them
And what else would I need

 

A home made balancer does just fine.
Spin the wheel on its axle sat on these:-

All you need then is tyre soap & a brush to seal the tyres and stick on weights off ebay for the balancing.

 

That would be good David, just text a time if you do get out and ill let you know if it suits, I'm pretty flexible Saturday

 

Working Saturday off out with lad from work Sunday so will ask him about meeting up

 

Sorry Carl. I couldn't make it Saturday; too many little jobs needed doing. I did manage to get out on my own for an hour after we got back from Hunstantion. However, it then took me two hours to get all the flies off the bike and kit. Such is life but it was worth it. Maybe next weekend ?
