But when he said how much for said switch £85 I said Forget it. Got a 2nd hand switch off of Flea Bay........£12. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to take one of the backpacks I've got but then I found this......a freebie from David Jones Honda Centre in Shrewsbury when I bought a new Transalp 20 years ago. Never actually used it before.......but it's a decent size, much more space than a backpack. And it fits in with the Honda lifestyle of course! I use a very similar bag for flights @XTreme, but mine is a KTM bag . So far it hasn't broke down once .......... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily the valve turned out to be a plug in job undo four screws and it’s unplugged now I’m sat here waiting for these two numpties to fix it but I don’t think they have a clue what they’re doing not often I get an easy job Nice pen collection Fred 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Spent all afternoon in the hospital with the Mrs. She was in excruciating pain and I suspected her kidney stones have flared up. She ended up on a drip for a couple of hours and feels better having been dosed up to the eyeballs with antibiotics. I even had to cook my own tea. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes when i take new riders on that lane i tell everyone to just keep going don't stop but leave a minute gap between the guy in front before setting off, there is a gate half way up in the worst possible place to start off again i usually go up and open that before everyone giving them a clear run. There were other riders not with the group coming down so that didn't help either. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted July 4, 2023 Author Share Posted July 4, 2023 The bike was washed on Sunday so this morning was polishing and then clean and lube the chain. I get back from NL late Saturday night and the temps on Sunday are forecast to be around 40C. So I doubt that it'll be going anywhere for a while. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
