Well I have done the engine,still two plugs to be changed though as they were not in the package with the other bits…just got to get the forks out to fit the new clip on and I am back on the road…will do that on Sunday I think…saturday I am picking up a three bike trailer for plymouth…four hour drive there and four back…bummer…might go to Swindon and have a look at that learthers warehouse…will add about 2 hours to the journey and make a day of it…
Excellent news What’s the leather warehouse, do they sell bike leathers or are you thinking of furniture ?
its this new warehouse selling bike leather yes…seen it in MCN…need a new set of leathers now i have tken the others down the road…Have two sets now in need of repair…
What’s the matter with you 2T?
Your leathers can’t be that bad mate, get them down to WASP to work her magic on.
You spend thousunds of pounds a year on new bikes and penny pinch on leathers… Get one decent set an they will last you years:)
That would be the new George White store with a 30,000ft cloths section. Be interesting to know if it is worth the trip.
yep gonna do the trip and have a look…will let you know what they have…
Cant have too many sets of leathers chunks…and wasp cant fix them right now so will have to wait…need matching set for each bike or should i just get a black set and have done…nah want more sets of leathers…
The more sets of leathers you have the less often each set will get used and they will never get “worn in” mate. The don’t get comfy til they are almost knackered;)
chunks gotta agree that…am going to buy a good set of black leathers tomorrow…couldnt go today…so fixed the 10 and shes back on the road…still need a couple of screws and bits to finish her off but otherwise she is fine…but going to swindon tonight, stay over, go look at some bike clothes then down to plymouth yuk to pick up the three bike trailer…
Glad to hear the 10 is sorted mate:)
Don’t forget there’s at least 5 sessions at Brands, are you intending on dropping one each session cos you’ll need more than the 3 bikes you’re already bringing
Ah and don’t forget new leathers, gloves and helmet for each session too… you know… just incase.
Hang on…Let me give em a call maybe we can secure you your own garage too
Twostrokes, I picked up a copy of bike magazine this morning and sorry to let you know but you werent the first to bin the ZX10, they sent theirs down the road a few weeks ago:P
Bugger I only have a three bike trailer…
They dont count as they dont own their bike its just a loaner…
you must have more money than sense.
go on explain that then…have money spend on bike…oh yes agree with you no sense at all…
You’re only jealous Westie;)
Rebuilt the 10 already, you’e only had it a couple of months…when you say you rebuilt it, wot you mean the engine or the whole bike…you’ll put us fighter boys to shame rebuilding a bike that quick ;)
nah it was only a 8 days old when \i decided to take it for a slide down the road…
so nothign much to do a few panels and bits and clip ons and job done…with crash bungs would have been hardly any damage at all…
Anyway am slowly getting on with my rg250 street bike,…that wuill be fun…for now its just a simple thing but just getting my hands dirty to start with and will try something more adventurous after I have had a go at this one…
Hope to have a 7r soon to do up… that will be a full strip and rebuild…
i mean, why cant you be happy with one neutral colour set of leathers, ie black, its seems daft spending all that money on lots of sets… theres your explaination, ok?!
thanks westie, didnt really need an explanation was agreeing with you really, buying bikes makes no sense at all…
and why I cant be happy…hmm plot thickens…didnt know I was unhappy…but thanks for telling me…and I am only joking…:D;)
