When i checked the KTM valve clearances all 4 exhaust valves were pretty tight on the 0.25mm feeler gauge, which is bottom spec, and I had told myself that it would be fine till next service and was going to to build it back up when the 4 spark plugs arrived. Bad move having too much thinking time!...

Happy birthday d1ckie

Lates notes from Kermitlefrog “I've just been down to the Travelodge. It's a 20 minute walk uphill to my place (downhill when you are pissed!). It's lovely. Brand new, been open a couple of months. Café, bar and restaurant Easy walk into town and plenty of cabs if you are lazy. Cheapest if you book ...

Happy belated birthday

Shims for the front exhaust valves both need the same size so it’s lucky I didn’t just by a generic box of single shims. Unfortunately they are not in stock at the dealer so a 5day order from ktm, so I put the old ones back in, fitted cams and cam bridge, then refitted and reset the cct so I could s...

The A686 runs SW from Haydon Bridge down through Alston then over the famous Hartside pass. Only a brief stop here the look at the view over Cumbria because the run down to Melmerby is something special and the cafe/bakery at Melmerby is tops.

For me the only crashes that get into my head were the ones I cant find an explanation for. As long as I can work out what I did wrong, or what failed, then I can process the lesson and go straight back to speed. But if I can’t work it out, it niggles at my mind that it could happen again because I ...

Iain (Kermit Le Frog) and I have been having a discussion since last year about trying to add a Northumberland Storm weekend to the packed schedule for 2024 meetings, as he is very keen to let us see the great motorcycle roads he has on his doorstep. so here is the proposal. normally in this time sl...
