Herman, any ideas on timing? Would be a shame to mess up timing and miss you.

If some lazy twunts in the incompetent world of house buying sort their lives out I should be packing this weekend to move on the 28th. If it all falls through or I can convince the Mrs. I need a brekkie break on Sunday I'll come down. Wouldn't count on it though frown Once I'm moved and the garage is sorted I'll be out for a good run.

Would love to mate, but got the Oxfordshire Young Farmers rally (which I really can't get out of, having been called on to judge beef cattle. Don't know why they picked me. I've never judged beef cattle before... biggrin) at 9am on Sat.

Anyone up for it Sunday instead?

I got it running but will be leaving it in Berkshire, don't trust it and don't want to get stuck in Oxford in this weather with it with no garage to tinker in...

A few jobs to do! Valve clearances, reg/rec testing, connector waterproofing, earth cleaning, and finally getting carbs set up by a pro, and then keeping fingers crossed it doesn't do this a third time!

At least it looks good after painting some flaking powdercoat, cleaning and spraying some brackets, and touching up the fork legs!

Rear caliper needs a full overhaul after winter, binding, crumbling pistons, separating pads and torn dust seal, but upgrading to a GSXR1000 rear caliper, a much better design, arrived yesterday and looks great condition, with meaty pads, just £40! - full set of braided lines to treat it to as well once it behaves! smile
