Yes I'm on the bike.
I was just saying that I could put stands in my car.
It's not much help, as I won't be in the car, but I like to join in.
Pls bring the abba bits
No Problems Tony. See you there :thumbup:

Have you got a 1/2 inch drive breaker bar and large torque wrench?
Might as well get a couple of little jobs out of the way.

Much appreciated.
we should be able to do it in an hour and a bit as long as the inspection caps are not seized. have you tried to see if they come out?

I'll bring a spare slightly battered but useable on in case it puts up a fight.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

does anybody want to meet in the Warwick services for 0800-0815 ?

thats about 30 miles from the "big Fry up " , i can do later if you wish. or if your embarrassed to be with a Triumph i can ride behind you. ( no "slow anyway " comments kev)

I will be merging with the M40 from M25 about 8:00.I stick to the speed limit cos i've got 9 points.So if you're behind me you'll probably catch me up.Worked out fuel stop and will want fuel at Warwick services.
SO WHEN DOES THIS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW BETTER KICK IN

Left hand side Generator cover... The big one is the bastid 10mm allen IIRC...best give it a good soak with Plus Gas over night. Give it a tweak to see if it moves but if it's stuck it will just chew up, so if it starts to chew leave it alone & let Tony at it with his hammer...

Have a good day chaps....

Would have joined you today but I have the Murvinator coming round with his broken Storm & a replacement engine...Oh & Vanstub as well to finish his bike off...

No barbieQ for us.

Good luck with putting up with Tony's jokes.

Keep an eye on Lloydie if he shows up...backs to the wall if he has lube in hand...

Keep the grease off Alisons white stilettos...
