That is if you'll let an ex 1000F - current blackbird rider come and play - haha
By all means, I never refuse extra muscle on road trips....

Hi again. meeting up in the nice weather sounds great. We could meet halfway for a cuppa & chat. There is usualy quite a few bikes in HAWES on a sunday & a cafe( well there was a few years ago when i had the Tcat)
If we pick a weekend Hopfully anyone else reading this will turn up aswell.

I did have a slight starting problem with my CBR, only starting on 3 cylinders then 4, its not been used regualy for a few months before i got it so i cleaned up the plugs & HEY PRESTO first time start & now ticking over properly.
After reading posts on here i was ready to pull the carbs off. Note to ones self "try the easy things first"

That's how I ended up with my ex.


Sounds like you guys have a regular party lined up! I'd certainly join you if it weren't for that whole ocean thing. Sounds like a good time, tho.

Hawes is a good place - as is devils bridge - and Squires Cafe. any of them are good for a meet.

As for the starting issue - are you leaving it on the side stand ? - I always found it best to leave mine on the paddock stand (ctr stand had been removed)

Rob, if you ever need to talk to someone sane about your bike, pm me and I will try to think of someone.

For all you English types: we put a man on the moon. I think you should be working on how to send decent beer over the Net.

Man on the moon is OK
All we can do is break everything we steal.
