Brake and clutch fluid replaced
Hoping I can make it for a few hours now mac, thanks..
And regarding what needs doing.. Hmmm.. Everything really, but mainly hoping we can fit in a fresh paint job.. I can bring the hammerite and some rollers so it matches the job done on the subframe, wheels, cam covers, and radiators!
That's just a heads up to alleviate a little of the piss taking I'm expecting.

To my way of thinking it's 22 overpaid blokes with stupid haircuts chasing a bag of wind
:kneel:

I couldn't agree more but the bag of wind has two legs and a pair of shorts. A game for the brain dead and sheep. Not very intellectual....a bit like reading the Sunday sport. No sportmanship with either. I think the problem is with large team sports and football seems to be the worst offender from a player and fan point. As humans we have a habit of behaving different as a pack and end up playing follow the leader rather than use our brains whereas in motorsport there's more individuality. That's the problem with the human race no intelligence to think outside the box for most, to the point where we listen to everything we are told by others and the media and let it influence our vote and who we go to war with. :roll: If more people started thinking for themselves rather than getting brainwashed by society then the world would be a better place. :wink:

I need to do an oil change, so that at least will have an opportunity to get spanners out and a bit of oil on the Grain Grunters xv rugby shirt/bike cleaning rag.

But I'm torn...
In the interests of lightness I bought a nice Racetech ti sump plug, which is certainly lighter.
But if I fit that it works against mass centralisation principles, where you want all the heavier bits in the middle.

Now I'm undecided.

Am I overthinking this?

How about some sticky labels? So we can see the moniker of the people we haven't met before. It will help with the avoidance routine. Don't worry about yours Tony, I've met you before....

I tried that at the very first workshop day.
The first three arrivals were all called Dave, so to save time we just called everyone Dave for the day.
Anyway, people mostly have a real name and a forum name, so they'd need two labels.

I've seen some of Tony's devices you don't want to go there 8O

You need to bring your bike, a length of Vac tube, a T peice unless already fitted & thats it really...I have a Carbtune device, the front take off doo dah.

As previously said give the adjuster a couple of squirts of WD-40 in the week....
