Eacaped the house to go look at bikes and talk crap about bikes, found this matchless g50 IOM racer, 1 of 3 apprently but I forgot to ask what made it that rare.
Well used v-rod and a trx850
Modern stuff I liked
Bikes of my era I was drooling over
And some grom's I parked my Dax next to.
I was missing the track, but without a "proper" bike what were we to do?
Yeah go on the grocery getters, just the kick in the butt needed to get the above gold pitbike ready after not getting finished over the last two years, only beakdown was the shock coming undone, even the knobblies were good enough! my purple Dax didn't miss a beat, and after an hour and a half of track time we were both also beat.
(Alright to cross post like this between groups?)
Weather's great so, uh, take bike appart and hit it with the angle grinder?
Really didn't want to ditch the six pot brakes, I feel it's such a 90's thing, but brakes that work are a useful feature, and an overhaul now is 8 seal and pistons, not 12 seals and pustons.
Actually might finish it after lunch.
Tough week, car broke, rushed out on my bike to rescue her, after the repair, in a hurry forgot about the disc lock and to make it much worse I had moved the bike backwards so had a good run up and really crunched things. Had to really muscle the broken lock off, the only silver lining I suppose was that I had my good tools with me. Raided spare YZF for parts, so maybe in the new year it'll be a pinky? Also (if anyone remembers) that H100 I'm rebuilding, ya, neutrals not where it's supposed to be...
Anyone noticed google brought back forum seaching again? I left google search way back just because that feature went away.
Either way I can't stand the AI answers I can't turn off.
