what's planned

Post by masterofinsanity »

the colder icy weather is here and the bikes are no doubt put away for most of us, so what you got planned for the bikes over the winter months?

Put the dual seat back on the ZXR , fit a 14mm rear master (maybe today) , update the brake lines , got an offer on some oil lines , have an earls oil cooler that might fit, change rearsets, just about finished the f3 exhaust , make CDI patch lead for f3 CDI, fit new pulsar , fit BEET side casing, strip out a set of SP L forks and see what can be used in the H's, Strip 3 engines down and re-build two.

That should take care of January :smt002

ZRX is getting the front end taken off and a new USD set-up put on :smt004 ferck about with the jetting cause it's winter :smt001 strip 2 engines and re-build a 600cc big bore with ZZR bottom end then re-build other for when that one goes bang :smt005

Not much really :smt002

Im still riding mine biggrin

Friday last week i had to get a lift from the boss at work, got half way to work and slipped on the ice and called it a day. Yesterday i managed all the way and today it looks safer as its been raining and melted most of the snow on the road.

I retired mine last night after a couple of rather hairy journeys to and from work yesterday. Now I'm on holiday and think the bike will be staying put until (hopefully) all the ice has gone...

To be honest, if I could have avoided it, I'd have taken taxis instead. The main roads were fine but anywhere off them was sheet ice that was slicker than a slugs tampon. Hope you keep it the right way up and stay safe Rob!

Here's yesterday morning after spending the best part of an hour getting my locks off:

Well just got mine into the garage with a bit of a struggle but I'll be rebuilding mine after an off I had a couple of weekends ago!! :smt010

Haven't really had chance to look over it properly yet still going through the insurance and not sure what is happening yet. If in doubt it will be my wet bike for racing next year. :smt003

Some bloke jumped out in front of me, slammed the brakes on and front tyre slipped away from me. The bike went to the right hit a kerb and slid down the road meantime I slid towards the underneath of the blokes van only for me tucking up and hitting his rear tyre!

Im not the most bike literate person so I bought a load of books about bike maintanence, how they work etc. getting some tools and going to pull some things apart, learn some shizzile then put them back together again, hopefully making improvements along the way . Im looking forward to it.

Merry Christmas

Jack
