Ah yes! Although been on the bike all winter anyway. Sorry to be a killjoy, but please please all take some refresher training if the bike has been off the road for months. We are just a few days into the season and already there has been bike fatalities in Norfolk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziplex Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Funnily enough I took the cover off the Blackbird to give it a clean but it was like a new pin underneath, cover works well then Flatish battery though so it's on charge.......I like going out in the evenings at this time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Yes, had an hour over Holme Moss and Snake pass today on my GS. Bit dusty, a lot of traffic, but still enjoyed it. Blows all the cobwebs away, best therapy a man can have! Cheers Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Dragged the Thunderace out from the shed last week-battery bin on trickle all winter so started first time-changed the oil and plugs ( bloody nightmare of a job)-washed her from top to bottom and ordered a tax disc online-got 2 new boots in the shed that need fitting next week and i'll be away.

Ferret Master Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Certainly been a big increase in numpty bikers round here since the bank holiday weekend. Wouldn't tar you all with the same brush, but as a recently passed car driver I am far from happy with some idiot sitting 2ft from my bumper in a 30mph zone or screaming past me just as you enter a 30mph zone to then cut in between me and the car in front...

Ped Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Had a tidy up in the garage the other day and found this.... It even started 1st prod after charging the battery. Just need mot & tax and the weather to stay good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

955i Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) The Daytona has decided that after being ignored for the winter, it is going to have a strop and is refusing to start for reasons currently unknown (but stupidly expensive fuel pump is the prime suspect at the moment) Edited April 9, 2010 by 955i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice ped, a mate of mine had a 996 years ago...that's been the only Ducati I ever rode but it was such a good bike, not particularly fast but the handling......

John_R Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Nice choice Ped. I'll be digging out the 749 Dark soon, ideally needs a service first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Certainly has, I went to Derbyshire and back today and saw no end of numpties who were undertaking on the A1, overtaking on windy roads which had a double solid white line down the middle. Now it doesn't bother me in the slightest if these idiots end up splattered across the road, but it is what the result does to the innocent motorist that gets my goat.

Cookiemonsterandmerlin. Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Some very sweeping statements about bikers how about all the numpty car drivers who pull out when coming pass a turning etc. Granted there is some numptys on bikes but there just as many numptys in ever other group of road user .
