would be a Saturday, so 23rd or 30th April.

start any time after 9am with Bacon butties and a bru.

usual rules.
a few experienced Owners will be available to help you take on those tricky jobs you are not sure you can do, like Manual CCT or stopper mod. carb setting and balancing, steering head bearings, fitting new for springs, TPS adjustment, wheel bearings etc.

you bring all the parts you need and the tools and knowledge will be there to help you get it done.

BBQ for lunch

if we end early we can get a bit of a ride out together as we escort you out of the county.

what do you need to bring?
bike
planned parts you want to fit ..... is good if you check on here first to make sure we plan the parts needed for the job
any commonly used tools like a set of Allan keys, Philips screw driver, 8, 10, 12 mm spanners [I have all these tools, but there will be a delay if you all have to wait to do the simple stuff]
Biscuits

big stuff like below will all be available
paddock stands and abba stands
Hammers, grinders, drills, drifts
carb balance tools
all tools to do stopper mods
impact driver
Hammers
Workshop manual
blow torch
dremmel
hammers
cable ties
tank tape
Hammer

I have a much bigger garage now, so should be able to have at least 5 bikes being worked on under cover and still have room for talking baldrocks and drinking tea.

who would be interested and what jobs are needing done



I will start a specific thread later

And remember it's not the case where you bring your bike and have someone else do the work .
You do the work yourself but with guidance from a bunch of old farts that know what they are doing .

Lloydie will have no doubt worked out where I live by this point, so basically, ride to my house and enter the "ample" darkly lit garage at your own risk. Bring lube.


I will start a specific thread later

p.s bring lube




























P.p.s, bring lube
