It's on Eurosport but spread over 1 & 2 as apparently the tennis is more important...

If you want to have some hearing left & not have tinnitus I'd suggest you start wearing ear plugs ASAP. Even the wind noise can cause these issues not just loud pipes... My go to is Pinlock ones... Plenty of sellers but your looking at £20 ish for a set of 4... They come with 2 sizes in a pack. ...

Just as well I did it as the triangle to swingarm connection was a bit stiff, came off ok with a bit of persuasion...

Luckily I had a refurbed one in stock so was a straight swap.

Our friend Martin would have been 60 today...

RIP Benny up there carving the clouds.

Raise a glass or 2 tonight.

Cheers Guys, don't feel a day over 70 :lol: :lol: As I spent most of yesterday out in the Cave I'm having a day off.

DIY. The easiest bike to work on if you have a few tools. Plenty of 'how to' in the workshop knowledgebase section. Failing that a friendly Stormer from your neck of the woods will be along shortly to offer a hand... I'd happily offer my services but I'm in North Kent, having said that I've had Stor...

The diaphrams in the tank and carbs wont have liked sitting for 5 years either, check they arnt perished or have any pin holes in them..
