weeping fork seal, a canceled ride out, a quiche and a greek salad

well. it was supposed to be a nice ride to the coast and then ride to brighton. enjoy the sun and the roads.instead it was a ride on the m25 (to meet my mate) stop at a station and see my right caliper wet from fork oil :crazy:quick removal of the dust seal and stucking some tissue up there and a slow ride home in a busy m25 :ermm:

no food in the house so stick a quiche in the oven. :Whistling: and make a greek salad*

bike is getting seals replaced and heavier oil put in on Tues

  • a greek salad is tomatoes,cucumber,onion, olives and feta with olive oil and oregano thats it! no lettice, dill mint and other Jamie oliver crap!

2

you actually eat that!

:sick:

3

Slipper 1 seems to have started a trend…

4

you need to peel the cucumber, and those olives look mutated…

5

And where’s the Olive Oil? It should be swimming!

And the pitta and taramosalata! Come on… :smiley:

Oh and sorry about the bikey thing-a-me-whatsit! :stuck_out_tongue:

6

Your onion ratio is all wrong I’m afraid…

Also that is not a greek salad always - it all depends where you’re from. Green Peppers and capers are also acceptable additions…

Have you tried replacing the fork oil with olive oil? At least then if you ever fancied a picnic you could scrape some of the calipers?

7

Isn’t it just a salad to you?
hehe

8

Technically it’s a ‘villager’s salad’…

9

Please just packed the inlaws back off to cyprus seen enough salad to last me a lifetime.

10

Yeah, in the villages, salad is just an accompaniment to meat and beer.

Thats more like a J.O. salad. Pousti malaka.

11

no cucumber skin and all dude. and the best olives are the rinkled onces

pitta is a cypriot thing we only have it with souvlakia

what he said

12

Maybe try a shopska salad for variety … similar but Bulgarian. I am fed up to the back teetch with them.

Hope you get your bike fixed, or sold :smiley:

13

Giros. I basically had those for my three meals a day for the whole time I was in Greece

14

Have you tried one of these? :
SealMate

I used a home-made one on my bike and it fixed a very leaky seal completely!!

Obviously it wont fix a damaged or worn seal but if it’s simply because there’s crud stuck between the fork tube and the seal then it should work.

I made mine out of a milk bottle but any thin, stiff plastic will do. I’ve got a template to print out if you want me to email it to you.

It’s worth a try and only takes 10 mins once you made your tool.

15

no havent tried it but that is really useful to know Cj thanks.

16

You should have bought the KTM. It would have come with proper suspension :wink:

17

indeed…

but not proper clocks, cooling system or fuel tank and all the other problems:D:D:P

18

and the austrians make crap greek salad :smiley:

19

:laugh: still looks :sick: to me!

The Austrians make sausage … This takes much longer than salad , Soooo you need a bike that needs more work done on it so you have time for sausage .
