Hmmm…All I’ve got to do before tomorrow’s ride up is… 1) Pick up my R1 from service shop as Yamaha didn’t send the required part until today and there wasn’t enough time to finish the job
2) Pick up my Arlen Ness leathers from Hein Gericke in Harrow as my local Stockwell branch got sent a suit 12 sizes too small. Best jog up to Leicester and back to lose the required weight if the suit at Harrow branch is wrong.
3) Get a new 190/55 Michelin Pilot Power 2CT fitted by FWR at some point tomorrow
And I began trying to sort this all out from last week
Great day today, even though I did cook the Buell. I ache soooo much from the ride home, my rucksac was so heavy from my chain and disc lock (and everything including the kitchen sink that I took with me:))!
Sorry guys, my intention was to take it easy on the way home but for some reason I just don’t seem to be able to do it :w00t:. I knew you’d be ok from there though! I know Bikerboy didn’t want to abuse his poor bike any more but George - I was expecting you to get on it as well!! I still reckon that session where we had our ‘fun’ was the best one and yes, I was a bit cheeky on 1 or 2 occasions, lol. Had to be to get past you!!
Was a great day and weather stayed nice for us…Was great to see you again George after all those years…We’ll have to go for a blast around the lanes again soon.
Condolences to Melda who was the latest victim of Metropolis service incompetence…Hope you gave those turds hell…Remember from now on, it’s all about Southern Cross Motorcycles.
Sherrie was riding like a nutter in the last session…Me and Diana could hear you going down the home straight and blazing everyone But you looked pretty smooth out there.
Last trackday is on Monday for me, but I think I’m gonna book up the 08 calendar as soon as the dates are published :laugh:
Can’t wait to see your pics Ang…Hopefully you’ve got a knee down shot of me around Gerrards :hehe:
We had a great day too, finally got all the photos onto the hard drive… jeez it takes forever, need a bigger lens to get sharp close up’s or to be able to stand closer to the track! (New lens in the pipeline). PM me either a home address or let me know where you’ll all be, I’ll stick the photos of each of you on a disk.
George I didn’t realise it was you on the Boost bike, I know I got some photos of you but looking through I can’t see you, maybe they were a bit blurred so I deleted them :doze:
glad you had a fab day, I was really gutted and totally miserable on Sat :crying: spent half the day at Metropolis work shop, they’d stripped my baby, but couldn’t tell me what’s wrong with it.
Just called them and apparently, it’s the regulator/rectifier that went, apparently, it could’ve happened at any point, but it’s just too much of a coincidence that it went 1hr after I picked it up from the garage!
Anyway, I’m waiting to get my baby back before going on a rant…
Really cool pics!
I so don’t envy the guys out there at brands today! it’s horrible!
Glad they’ve finally got to the bottom of the problem, lets hope they’ve got it right! When the bikes running again, give them hell, it’s far too coincidental breaking right after a service, we’d only done 20 miles for heavens sake!
