[mitzy]

Mornin!

Yep its that time of the week two days off.

What bikey things you doing?

I have sold my Sachs last night



So dropping that off tomorrow and going to clean the TZR , so with any luck I will be able to ride it on sunday.

Then start to look for a VFR400

I am replacing my tyres in about 7 hours time and can't fkin wait been 1 week without the bike, well 3 days but felt like a week and I cannot stand driving my car about it is bloody awful.

[Sossige]

Off on holiday for a week, so I won't be posting for a while - or riding my bike either

Soss

[surfsofa]

Enjoy the holiday Den.

I might do something radical and wash my bike this weekend (for the first time since I bought it at the end of May)

[W66OCH]

Buying some leathers and cleaning the bike for the first time... if the weather holds even rack up a few miles

Any suggestions for bike cleaning products?, its not mega dirty, just a bit grimy

[Venom]

No bike stuff for me this weekend (apart from the ride home when I finish work this evening anyway) as I'm off on a stag weekend. Isn't it supposed to rain again this weekend too? Whatever happened to that thing fondly known as "summer"?

[lawrence567]

Fitting tail tidy & r&G crash mushrooms to the new gsxr tomorrow.
May go and buy some new leathers & if i have time before it rains, maybe a wash for it!

[roboxm3]

Oh yes!!!
The oil has been in the bike for approx 3hrs now so it's oil change time (the joys of motocross), clean an air filter and then off to Mildenhall on Sunday.
After doing the CBT and DAS last week I can't wait to just give it a fking great handful and get the old girl bouncing off the limiter!!

Have a good one

[AndyDRZ]

Going on my first Skydive.... Wooooooooo


Probably take the DRZ for a spin so it starts if anyone ever comes to buy it...

Oh, and dropping the engine out of the R1 so I can start taking it apart to work out what moving bit of metal is hitting a non-moving bit of metal...

[clarkey]

Yes, 2 days of riding heaven in Wales with 3 mates. Would be great if 2 inches of rain weren't forecast....

[neenaw]

Yep.... Picking up my new bike in the morning

[Sossige]

I washed the bike last night, with the expectation that I wouldn't get to ride it again until after my holiday.

Looked out the window and it's a glorious day down South, so I couldn't resist riding it into the company offices today

I leave tomorrow, so I'll speak to you all again when I get back

To be honest, I just use decent quality car cleaning products - I'm a fan of Chemical Guys and Meguiars stuff. Just don't use any of the gel you can use that makes tyrewalls shiny!

Apparently the SDOC 100 gel cleaning stuff is quite good, if you want a quick and easy cleaning product. Autoglym also so a range of bike specific cleaning products.

Soss

[robstvr]

SDOC 100 gel is the dogs danglies. Spray on, leave 5 mins, rinse off. Even takes off baked on chain lub. If you get it on the discs, wash it off well, or it'll get on your pads, too. Not good, as it leaves a protective layer after doing it's thing, and this reduces friction - as the side panel of a bmw nearly discovered last week.... Yipes!

[scoobster999]

giving the blade a good clean and lube after riding it up to milton keynes from Devon in the rain on Monday morning. The poor little buggers' only been on the road a month and its has been wet every time its been out.....hopefully Sunday a little hoon for a couple of hours.

[Baldinho]

Picking up a scooter I accidentally bought on Ebay - beware the power of auction sniper!

that the only 400 your looking for? just i know someone selling what seems to be a very tidy NC29 at the mo.

today i've had the 14 apart, found how to solve the cold running problem. it was acting like it had no choke. doesnt have choke as its injection but the symptoms are the same, too slow when cold. bit of a result that the adjuster was dead easy to get too & it just appears that when i took the slack out the throttle cables everything moved so the wotzit couldnt push the thingy enough to open the throttle when cold.
should be on a rideout tomorrow if either of them get back to me after saying yes earlier in the week. must find a local bike shop too, need a back tyre again soon.
