Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Getting it collected tonight.

Typical - the roads have been busy and the weather has been dry. Not the week for using the car

getting the indicator working on the blackbird ready for its mot on saturday

Got the blackbird moted passed did not mention the forks will have a good look at them.

Fitted a couple of carbon fibre bits, the cover on the exhaust is a temporary measure till I can afford a new can, not that you can see it in the pic

Got the RSV out as it was in the way, looked at the state of it after the stow ride and promised it a proper clean next weekend. Fired the track bike up as its been stood for a few weeks now, didn't take much persuasion. Amazing really considering its age.

Had a call from Mike. The bike is 1200 miles off the valve checks and clearances. Do I want it doing now?

Simple answer, even if it means the kids have no presents this Christmas.

Ordered a set of cpative spacers for the zx6r

Seemed rude not to at £25 a set

Got it back!

Mike has done a full service and valve checks. He said the valves were spot on, which is good news seeing as it's had a thrashing this year. Throttle bodies have been adjusted. New plugs, air and oil filters and brakes fluids.

Let's hope it's dry tomorrow for the ride into work

Nothing much better than a newly serviced bike...other than a new bike... or new tyres.

The bike certainly felt crisp this morning.

I managed to stretch the legs on a couple of straights and she's spinning up sweet

Did you try your textiles?

Just seen it - doh.

Sounds good

Found a private road and discovered that 135mph in 4th is when the rev limiter kicks in

Sold it.

I know you were talking about looking at other bikes but I wasn't expecting you to do anything for a while.

Have you taken all the bling off?

Ordered some new track fairing to replace the smashed up ones on the Zx10r....just new link pipe left to purchase and should have it all sorted by January ready for next eyars track day season ( and maybe a sneaky early European trackday too )

Today and tonight are removing bling time as a rushed sale which was agreed today but needs completing by tomorrow, so I'm a busy boy.

Someone is getting a well looked after bike.
