Started making a fork compression tool so that I can service and replace fork springs easily. Almost finished them, just need to weld them up.
Travelled with my eldest son to the hallowed ground which is Stamford Bridge to watch the game............. Chelsea 1 Man Utd 0
Cleared out the old garage. Cut some tree branches off. Built a bonfire, I like bonfires and managed to feed it enough to keep it going for about 4 hours
Worked from home today, managed to get finished reasonably early so cleaned he bike after yesterday' blast. Then decided to get the new brembo rear disc and pads I bought for the 929 fitted. Have I let the old girl go this winter, must give it some love soon.
Bored off me tits. this morning, went to the bank to pay bills, then all morning, visiting scrapyards to source a window switch for the kangoo...no joy. Had to reder one from Renault main stealer.... afternoon, look after the kids while missus was working, sunshine and perfect biking weather. But, I couldn't leave Harry, too young and he'll blow the house up. so, cleaned the bike, again.
Sorted out the tyre pressures on the camper van. Bought gas for camper van for next weeks trip to Devon/Cornwall Got to play out on my bike Took pictures of bike (seeing as lots of people gave me grief for not posting any pics up in newbie section!!) Got back home and washed the bike and polished it! Washed the camper van. Learnt how to post pictures on here!! (even sideways ones!!)
Dropped the forks off at my local bike shop to have the seals done, was gonna take em to suspension specialists Kais or Maxton to up grade the springs and dampers but after two phone calls with equal info and advice I couldn't justify the cost at the moment and seeing as my name ain't Hill, Byrne or Brookes then i don't think i'll get the full benefit. BUT my local shop then went and made me an offer to trade the blade in against a ????????? and now my head is really screwed ...aarrgghh !! should have just took the upgrade..
Taken the bike off the optimate. Taken the bike off the paddock stands. Leathers out the wardrobe, gloves, Helmet, boots all ready in the shed, a massive 3/4 mile ride to work. Finishing work at half three tomorrow and the temp is starting to nudge double figures. It's time for a quick Caton/Devils Bridge to blow the cobwebs away. My drivers even taking the time to come with me on his 600 bandit. Thread to follow in appropriate section tomorrow. Let the good times roll.
