Oh Poo!

Hmm. 100 mile round trip.

In its 125 mile career so far, it's done a fuel tap, air filter, head
gasket, cylinder stud, fork seals, a set of plugs, an exhaust baffle,
centre-stand bolt, and needed two carb rebuilds.

I might be a bit late.

Absolutely.

I'll hand you a couple of full ones when you arrive, then.

I've got a spare one.

Yours for nowt.

 

Thanks, that would be brilliant. I'd suggest sending it via the
"underground railway", but it would probably be simpler to post it.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as it's not going to fall off, and doesn't
interfere with brake/gearchange.

One of mine hangs down at about a 30-40 degree angle.

You're welcome to borrow the RS.

Oh me too, me too. I haven't ridden a stroker for *years*.

 

Try giving sir.tony one as he writhes in his death throes.

Thanks. But no, thanks.

 

IME their all as incompetent as each other. FWR re-assembled my zzr6
with the spacer between the sprocket carrier and wheel missing. I
suspect (with hindsight - something not quite right when adjusting
the chain) that the spacer went missing when I had a puncture repair
at Chas Bikes (twat of an apprentice who seemed to thick it was OK to
re-insert wheel spindles by smacking them with a hammer). But since
FWR were the last lot to have it to bits they got the blame (whether
it was there or not it was incompetent IMHO to re-assemble it in a
potentially dangerous state). To be fair the workshop manager at FWR
did try to sort the problem - he managed to find one spacer lying
around, not for my bike, but close enought that I could easily
machine it to fit on a lathe (he would have sourced a new one but I
didn't want to wait) and gave me a new carrier bearing free of
charge. I still use FWR as I work round the corner but I try to watch
the mechanics as closely as possible.

The place I use to fit tyres to loose wheels (watling tyres,
gravesend) since they're closer to where I live haven't got a blemish
free record either. They once managed to fit a 150/60 instead of a
160/60. They also on one occasion got the front wheel balence
completely wrong and somehow cocked/moved one of the wheel bearings
which caused the wheel to temporarily tighten up (until the bearing
popped back into place) when I tightened the wheel spindle. I
re-balence the wheel myself.

Oh, the underground railway is more fun. I mean, my Triumph Trophy
fairing has been four months in transit (partly due to my forgetting
about it).

There must be somebody Brizzle-bound in the near future.

 

(The Older Gentleman) burbled:

Who are you, and what have you done with the real TOG?

 

Or Pixie-fest bound?

 

TOG, how far are you from Sarf Croydon?

I shall be there tomorrow morning.

The sidestand that's on it was carefully manufactured by the
pre-penultimate owner - it only had a centre stand when I first saw
it.

 

Only a small part of the sidestand is still on it. There was the remains of
a stud or bolt in a tapped hole close to the pivot: possibly a quarter of
the material of the prop itself remained. One afternoon, I noticed that the
bike was having a little lie-down...

 

Maybe 20 minutes, on a bike. Leaving the house at 11, though - going to
a wedding.

Well, it's an old man now!

I may have the centre stand in the garage still, unless I already gave
it to you?
