Some great roads there Stu. 9 hours in the saddle is some going! The dangle berries will be raw the night!

Enjoy Stu, I need to get booked onto another day at knockhill soon.

Hope you Wee Fellow is OK

I'm glad that theft where I live is good as u. Heard of. Not unusual for me to leave garage doors wide open when I go for a blast with one of the toys.

Who did you get acf from? I'm spending a small fortune buying it in aerosol cans! Abou 15 quid a tin I think

I thought sag should be set up with the rider on the bike?

Re: Akrapovic You've done the right thing by downing tools and having a beer. More often than not that's all it takes, and you'll go back to it today and it will be a piece of piss. Take your time and use the correct tools, and stop for a brew when things ain't going right. Who cares if it...

I always have a reversible jaw bacho In my pocket at work. Very handy tool, nice and compact hammer, mediocur as a spanner and great at getting bolts out after you've chewed them up from not using the correct spanner. They get a surprising amount of grip, kind of like a stilson.

Get my SP back together

I've just used harpic power 10 on stainless steel exhaust. It works a treat, but I'd check there nothing in it that will damage chrome.

Couple more pics of the sp, I'm ashamed of how neglected it is. Last time I was out with it there was a misfire from 1 cylinder, coming and going. I thought maybe Dodgy plug or something, and there has also been a long term fault for ect sensor, that I've never traced, due to position of...

My first thought on the water issue would be, has somebody been working on it and mixed up crankcase breather with a cooling water hose

I think the next bike I'll be getting will be a Ducati, maybe a 999, but her indoors won't let me until after our wedding, and done some work around the house. I definetley prefer the stuff from late 90's and naughties to the new bikes, although I do love the 1000rr as well.

Great write up

Tomorrow's job is to clean up the radiators. Initial look at them, they look ok, but as Jamie says above, they are prone to cracking, think due to the weight of the electric fan on the left hand one. Doubt I'll ever really use it very hard these days, got the BM for that. But I still want to...

I've not used it much since I got the BM, but last couple of good runs I had with it, the back suspension was getting a bit iffy on bumps, so it definetley needs a service. I'll probably change the oil in the forks just now, as it's probably the original! When it was my every day bike, I did...

I'd planed on sending the suspension away this winter for a freshen up, but never got round to it. Maybe next winter. They are great bikes in the Twisties, very usable power and great handling. Just very uncomfy!

Finally making some progress with the sp1. Just scrubbed 20 years of **** off the front cylinder and flushed out the cooling system. Now to let it dry outside, change all the fluid, plugs and filters. Lots of polishing round the engine and get it back together. Ps, excuse the mess in the back...
