Sorry, been very busy and not on the forum for a few weeks. I live just outside Midsomer Norton now, so not far from North Dorset. Could maybe meet up at Compton Abbas or Motocorsas cafe in Gillingham some time.
Took the Stelvio for an MOT and service at Newcombe Bros, all well but front pads and both tyres will need replacing soon and the rear shock bearings too. Not enough of a problem to fail the MOT but I will need to sort them out soon.
Well at the weekend I pushed the Pearl around the plot a bit. Took Jug out for a first ride this year to drop off some stuff for powder coating. Then took Blue to bits.
Iāll feel a whole lot happier when weāve seen the last of the salt and Iāve got at least a couple more of the broken bikes back on the road.
Sorry Jim, I missed your post. I donāt know how I did that as I look at this and the Z1 owners forum every morning about this time - how sad is that! Absolutely, Motocorsa or Compton Abbas when the weather improves a bit. Iāll be in touch.
Pumped the tyres up!
Iāve not used the SP for about 18 months as it could do with some new brake lines plus it is sitting waiting until it becomes historic with free tax and no MOT.
In the garage last night I noticed the front tyre was almost flat. What is it with modern tubes that they canāt hold their pressure?
Previously the bike sat for 15 years and they still had about 20 psi in them after all that time.
