Sir Fallsalot

Well there's welding and there's the thing i do, I was happy with this weld current was a bit high but couldn't be arsed to do a test weld first and no grinding after, bonus

Its welded on the outside ground the old weld off punched out the old shaft pushed the new one in and rewelded it

I had lots of wear on the brake pedal shaft and the hole in the frame. Decided to do something about today. Drilled the hole in the frame slightly larger and turned up a new shaft quite enjoyed doing it and pleased with the result Old one looking poorly New one all shiny pity you wont see it when fitted Then went out for another test ride rear brake travel much improved and i decided i'm so glad i stumped up the cash to fix the dog i forgot how much i enjoy it nothing like a big single thumping away between your legs

I refuse to comment

No but got no enthusiasm for anything i normally enjoy, seem to be enjoying working on the bike more than riding them lately

Might have some bike action tomorrow see how i feel when i wake up

I don't like to jinx myself but all seems good, pulls like a train as it always done. Weird feeling being on it after the Beta you could certainly feel the weight and i was riding like i'd never been off road on it before. Fine tuning the controls today lots of slop in the clutch and front brake levers so swapping and adjusting them so the positions feel more like the beta. The rear brake lever has far too much movement so just finished sorting that

See this is what i get i told you all last week i had Thursday and Friday off work this week its just in one ear and out the other isn't it

Right who was it that didn't believe me when i said the weather was going to be good on Thursday

Had a run out on the dog today got the MOT and so far the thing is going ok. Usual route back from the MOT station you can see Penrhys on the right in the distance

Yes tell that twat @XTreme

He may as well end it all now save him the pain and suffering the future holds now that you pointed out he's English

I want to stick with the cable might put a new one on to see if it improves, got this thing in my head of these hydraulic conversions letting me down when i need it most

Finished putting it together tonight and been out for a run, I'd forgotten how well it pulls and sooo smooth compared to the two stroke, That Beta is turning me into a wimp the clutch is so light on it i had a shock when i got on the dog the clutch was almost a two hand operation something i hadn't noticed before. Changed the oil with some cheap ebay stuff and will swap it again in a few hundred miles if it runs that long. MOT booked for tomorrow and then i can put some miles on it feeling happy

Nice i don't have half of that and they have mostly gone now

Trouble is Bob he doesn't understand the full functionality of the top box either that or he cant remember how to take it off

Talking of gloves i always bought these Tech 7 Cyber gloves for the trail bike as i don't like long gloves and i wanted some protection for the road riding but they are now discontinued and everything like them are double the price The pair i have is getting to the end of their life and didn't know what i was going to get next That was until i went to Trago Mills for the first time a few weeks ago and picked up a pair of these they were just over £7 when i checked out, so far i'm well impressed with them so impressed going back to buy a shit load for future use

Same here Clive and spent more time fixing them than riding hang on fuck all's changed still doing that now except they all got motors now

Not yet anyway test ride tomorrow night see how it goes
