Yep - had a few of those just recently - hence my day out yesterday and looking at the weather this morning I could be out again - just going to have a think where

Unfortunately I can't get out, but I am working from home today. I could do with having a blast on the bike just to unwind

tomorrow morning, i am fitting a footpeg (long story.....but 2 min job)..... and winding my suspension settings right down and re-setting (using handy chart on here)...as for today...well i am at work, and truly can't be bothered...its been a tough few weeks and i've hit the wall  :(
It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

You do realise that you will have to take the bike out for an extensive test ride afterwards  ;) ;)

Problem with suspension is that it takes ages to do. The initial bit is easy to do but its the tweaking that takes ages.

I did have plans to work on the bike on Sunday but the way I'm feeling now, don't think I'll bother. Can't remember specifically what I was going to do.

Thinking that I could buy some bank of ireland shares @10c/share and hopefully if they go up to 40c/share by year end - well, that's a new GTR  ;D. Jeez, these share traded around 18e at their peak and now around 12c. I bet there's some peeved off people out there

Aye, as long as the internet works there's a life line. What you looking for on ebay - or shouldn't we ask?  :o

Just put a bid in for some pannier bags....have been in car park adjusting idle speed as it has dropped for some reason!! circa 900 prm atm hot idle after Beowulf fitted...which i think is the cause of a stutter in the engine at low revs (i think)

£60 quid to get the seat firmer and a new covering. Let's see how my butt fairs on the new seat

Bargains £60 is excellent.......... bit far for me to ride though...might be worth looking in, next time i head up Norf'
