Dropped it
Permalink  
 


I dropped the bloody bike this afternoon. Thankfully, not a jot of damage as I just managed to hold it enough to lay it down gently.

Norfe gave me a disc lock, which I've never had before, so I blame this squarly on him. ;)

Set off, again thankfully slowly, but was stood up, and off I went. Idiot!

In other news, I've sorted my bad ass wrist problem. Took the clutch cable off, hung it on a wall and filled the bugger with 3 in 1. Clutch feels proper now.

Got to get rid of these L plates too. I'm going to try to get the mod 1 out of the way asap.

Nah, this one is for looking after, and I'm too old and boring to be ragging stuff around...too much. :)

Mate of mine has an original Hayabusa. It's mint, and I mean mint. One of those owners that sits and cleans after every ride, which is about 4 times a year. He recently parked in a car park and some bint reversed in to it, knocking it over. Gutted.

Dropped it again. I'm a ****. I have now bought a reminder lanyard, so I can forget the bloody disc lock.

Currently in Swindon, which ain't a bad run from Preston. I've discovered staying at 55mph works best. I did a long stint at 70, and when I pulled off on the to slip road, the engine did not feel happy at all, so I stopped and let it chill out of a bit. Still, been blasting along all day and loving it.

I've done that before lol, used to always chain my ts50 up, went to ride off and fell flat on my face lol.

Don't worry anyway, these things take a beating!!

ha ha what u like, it is easy to forget tho. lanyard is best idea lol

theres no seal on the ends of the clutch cables to stop dust getting in, once they have been oiled they start attracting dust and getting stiffer

best thing to buy is a cable oiler, i blast them out with carb cleaner 1st then do the lube
