Spokes - I'll not be able to make it. This sounds like a good exercise though, and is a very good and rare opportunity...

I could be keen, depends on whether I get the zxr running or not.

You've got two bikes now, so no worries?

[f2dz]

I'm keen for this also but not sure how I'm placed for Sunday yet.

I'll work towards whatever time you're gonna start, Rob.

[Kartik]

I'm also keen for this on Sunday. I don't have anything else planned on that day. So anytime would suit me. As long as it's not too early in the morning. Lol.

[nzspokes]

We will go with 10am. I will pm my address tonight.

I will be there Sunday - interested in triple tree - assembly, throttle controls, rear swing arm and shock mounting for project bike

Maybe we should start on something simplier like a TRACTOR, could have fun putting THAT back together

OK now I am biting on that bait.
Said tractor is going to get a price from AMPS tomorrow for the bits that I cannot do. Also going to let them look at the crack. I don't really want that repaired, just the hole that is behind/underneath it. Or a new exhaust system but I can't really afford it. Over the phone they have all ready told me that if the belt is not damaged, don't replace it.
Tomorrow they view the bike.
Will be asking for a price.

My idea for mechanical stuff is this.

Sharons CBR needs to come apart for a rebuild. Fairings are off along with many other parts. I reckon I could get it down to a bare frame in 2 and a bit hours. So if anybody wants to pull a bike right apart and see how it all works then rock over on Sunday in old clothes. We will warm the bike up and drain the oil, then move on from there. We will be removing head bearings etc.

If you have specifics of what you would like to know then this is the time to find out, so ask.

Spokes, it was awesome, we got to ask the dumb questions (I did anyway) and you answered by getting us to do it ourselves, which is the best way of making sure the answer sticks.

Kartik and Bawked - awesome leadership, good riding and great decisions esp overtaking. It was a great ride.
Its great to ride with friends.

Yup, was a great time. Really cool stuff and very educational. I even got to do dumb things. Lol.

It was great ride, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Had to be very cautious in the last bit when it started to rain.

[nzspokes]

Glad you guys liked it. Bikes are pretty easy to work on.

Sounds like you had a good ride after to.

You rode just how I would have, but you both did it better. I was just watching and learning from you both. I have a lot of work to do.
As expected injuries have become enflamed.
Yes the flash rain did make it interesting.
Look through the corner, try to steer a path to keep the shiny surface to a minimum when wet and very hot (my 2 cents)

[f2dz]

Sound like you guys had a good Sunday. Was gutted I couldn't make it, but I had a few things I had to tidy up.

I guess we'll see you at SASS on Tuesday then, eldog? Good to hear you're riding again.

Riding on weekend has meant shoulder and foot flared up again, its worse than before, maybe I shouldn't have lifted the frame.
So no at SASS and yes it was nice riding. From what its feeling it will be a while till I am back on the bike, bugger.
Excellent to see the others riding to the conditions and those behind (me). So the ideals at SASS have sunk in

[nzspokes]

I will be there tomorrow but not the following week. My son's birthday. Making up for it with a track day the following Thursday night.

Taking your son to the track for his birthday COOL!
