Back in one piece from the sunny Isle of Grain (don't let the pics fool you! there was sunshine) Great seeing everyone bright and early for bonus bacon butties. All the bikes needing attention glad to say left in far better fettle than when they arrived esp if bikes were orange & blue ;-) Thanks Mac for having us!

To be fair wicky, today was the first ride out for the storm so it was more of a shake down ride, didn't realise that I would shake entire calipers off lol.

AND...... I just wanted to see what it was like to have the engine out 180, I mean you hear so much about it lol

Well done for getting it ready in time to shake down to Mac's - and the bit that made me chuckle was where the brake pads ended up :clap:

Top quality paintwork and bung some pics up showing what a great job you've done :thumbup:
