Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

Rode up to Oulton to see Pitty, Moonie, Paul and Pinhead

Took the 748 for a thrash down some Shropshire lanes today. Proper good thrash it was too.

Took the SV down to worcester & back up to walsall wood before retuning home. Not an exciting ride cause it was a working weekend but great to be out on it anyhow!

did nothing to my bike, but watched everyone else do things to their bikes at oulton thundersport

Not today but on Friday I ran over to Oulton to see Nige and Di and took the GPZ out for a spin, great run there and back despite the bike deciding to sit at 3-4000 revs everytime I pulled up at a junction r'bout etc on the way back, little bit of confidence gained there

Got out for a bit of a blast yesterday, and ended up being a bit of a hoon. Decided to turn off one of my normal routes down a turning I've never been down, turned out to be a few good lanes that put me back onto a road I recognised.

Stopped of at Hughenden M40 for a quick look round, they've got a little cafe up there now so stopped for a brew. Got chatting to a guy with a Yellow D650, it was suffering a little with a collapsed wheel bearing. He was saying about plans to do the bike up over the winter, so dutifully passed on a tankslap card as I know how much you guys love helping people spend money on bikes

Left there and nailed the bike out of the turning, right passed the nose of a marked traffic car fortunately he must have been too busy as he didn't follow me . Toned it down a tad for a blast back to the H cafe for a quick brew before heading home.

The tyres where red hot when I got back.. I think summer has arrived

Give it a bit of an airing

Some nice roads up round that way, we should hook up for a brew at some point over the summer..

While I was there this pulled up.. Now I know it's not going to be to everyones taste, but I like it and it was in amazing condition for the age.

No thankfully I didn't see that, but no doubt will hear about it on Wednesday

I live a few miles from there in a village called Horspath and when I'm out I usually call in for a brew on the way home.

Next few weekends are a no no but anytime after that give us the nod and I'll wobble over.

You won't miss my bike it's an all white gixxer 750, proper girlie bike

LOL.

Decided it was going to be a while before I could justify splashing out on the Rizoma reservoirs so ordered these from a company in the USA.
They look a shed load better than the original ones which had suffered the years of exposure and brake fluid.

Booked the bike into Honda for a service on Saturday .

Mike no good?

At least you know where you stand with the guys at Honda. You've got a good relationship with them.

Took the Multi in for its first 12 month service. £192 all in.

Mike not got back yet but I think he's really busy at the moment, the price for the service has gone down a bit as there seems to be a bit of a staff issue there but can't really say on here but I'll explain when I next see you, I'm also dropping it off at 8.45 and they are giving me a courtesy bike to use for work then pop back at 5.30 to pick it up that way I don't need to lose time and money from work.

I spoke to Mike today hes flat out with work,but thats because hes bloody good
