if:

1 - the wife says its ok
2 - the front brake pads arrive in time
3 - i put the front brake pads in, in time
4 - the front brakes actually work after i've tinkered
5 - the weather isnt shite

i still dont have the new rear disc but for a short romp i can get away with front brakes only

well tonite a wee

out to dogs so Betsy could have the wee service before the two big rides in the next month

Met up with English at Ashhurst & a nice steady pace on dry roads .. home made hamburgers for dinner (yum) and it was Betsy surgery time .. hmm replace plugs .. now there was a wee bet on that they would be black with oil but all things considered they were not that bad at all

hmmm air filter cleaned again not as bad as thought but a quick clean anyway

gear box oil well that had not been changed since I first got the bike .. hmm well the color was a cloudy grey brown color so should be better now ..

then the speedo .. hmmmm well alot of fiddling & putting the correct piece in where it should be new cable but yup the issue is still in the head of the speedo so at least we know where the issue is .. hmm but hey I dunna miss a speedo now sooooooooooooooooooooooooo

so goes back to the to do list ..

anyhow dark & a wee bit wet when we left dogs house, the 3 bikes headed out hmm quite hard to see with fogged up visor & no road markings

but slow & steady did it & we made it back out (mind you I dunna think the possum was that lucky that I hit with my front wheel

).. said bye to English at Ashhurst & flicked on home a few spits til linton then quite heavy rain home .. but hey who cares was actually a great ride

cheers English for keeping me company mate appreciated it

thanks so much Bazza for dinner & working on Betsy

.. glad norman behaved himself tonite but then I doubt he would have gotten past the 3 of us to have his wicked way with betsy
