This is not what I needed today

That will buff out mate. Riches the main jet and drop the needle down a few grooves and send it!

@GuyWithAviators don't forget to dig my RG50 frame out of your retaining wall 

[GuyWithAviators]

It’s a piece of the wall structure now. I may have to substitute it out for a Honda CT110

Test rode bike to work. Only the brake rod fell off 

[anglia4]

I've done a handful of test rides on mine. I've changed out all the ignition parts converting from points to cdi ignition.

First test ride "hmmm just doesn't quite seem to have as much go as last year"

*advance timing a bit*

second test ride "holy shit this thing is quicker than its ever been"

But the fear of detonation and piston destruction fanging endless km's set in, so I tweaked it back to somewhere between "not as good as it was" and "quicker than its ever been".

If I don't have anything else to fix after this ride I might have to do some experimenting with that advanced timing though...

Ah yes. At least no parts fell off on the shake down ride tonight.

How many spare bikes do we need? Jamies gonna be riding the decent* CT, I could waterblast the shit off my farm one and adjust up the brakes, it has a few lighting issues at the moment though. 

The XL185 could probably be available if really required, I think the jetting is still a bit up the cack, and the rear shocks are pogo sticks, but its a nice enough ride.

[johnnyfive]

And yeah, that forecast is looking not terrible. NICE

[HighLUX]

Can I trade ethnic farm worker the CT for his excitable TS?

[Mop Head]

I think it’s still wise having one decent ish/rideable in some way spare bike. Whatever it may be. If you can’t ride manual there’s no better time to learn than on the Motu.

[HighLUX]

I can bring down a rough and ready mudbug, it has average brakes and performance but it will do the job getting to wherever we are staying for the night to do repairs

[Mop Head]

Bring the spare bikes to the farm and we can have a pre ride jousting session to see what gets chucked on the trailer.

Ah yeah so the front fell off. 

Sent from A&E. 

[HighLUX]

Oh shit 

What happened?

[GuyWithAviators]

Can’t stay in the lines for shit and failed at being run over properly. Will try harder next time.

Came out pretty lucky. Can still walk. Hopefully the pain goes away before the weekend.
