[caseye]

Count me in! The ol coal burning monster needs a run.

[munster]

Cool Mark, see you there. Anyone else? Another Mark is coming along & maybe Jeff & maybe Dave.

4 of us out last night, round the long way via Kawakawa to Kaiaua for a stop, Carried on through Mangatawhiri to Mercer for another stop and home. Great night for a ride.

[leathel]

Yup I enjoyed that ride, clocked up about 160 K's by the time I got home

[munster]

So who's up for a ride tonight?

[leathel]

I would love to but I have been too busy today to start replacing the seal..... And I want to use the 1100 for the Saturday ride so i will be working on that tonight instead of riding the 750.

New grips have arrived for the 1100 too so hope to get them fitted as well

[munster]

Another great ride tonight, small turnout of 3 to be expected so close to Xmas I spose.

[leathel]

Yup nice we trip again

OK, shakedown ride for the ol coal burner. This Thursday, anyone else?

[leathel]

Yeah talked to Aaron about it Yesterday, I hope to have my carb parts here today and be ready to test on Thursday

Forecast looks good at this stage

[caseye]

cool, the old firm, back on the road. So far all is well with the world, carb rubbers are here, footpeg rubbers are here, waiting on new diaphragms, removing carbs, fitting new dia's and re installing ain't going to take long, we know how to do it blindfolded now. Wiring issues all gone, amazing what reconnecting broken power wires does for things, same with cleaning all contacts and providing good! earths.
B c ing you guys at the BP then.

Your beast will have a new lease on life


I should have my Vacuum pistons in soon, arrived this morning. Then a quick check over and the 1100 should be all go (didn't stop going just was rich on one cylinder, swap vacuum pistons then rich on the other..) so a pair of new ones should sort it.... I hope :P

[leathel]

Carbs pretty much sorted, some fine tuning to do but its running good

[Mongolian]

I think I have managed to fix my exhaust leak so I'm keen to head out for a ride

[munster]

Bit windy, but not wet. See you there.
