At least the GSXR rider in the other vid had leathers on this bloke nearly lost his skin. There must be something more to this corner than you can see but a Harley Davidson scraping his panniers down is still pretty impressive...... until the crash! -

Tomorrow >whats the chances of getting out ?
gravelrash replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in Rideout's and Events
Thanks Dick, booked in Thursday for a diagnostic. Fine going to work at 0400 lashed it down coming home but still nice to get on the bike and like you said at least no frost/ice to worry about. -
I've had worse Christmas presents than that Dave gotta have a go at that! -
nope not yet, who'll be first?

Apparently impossible to wheelie something to do with the large rear small front wheel combo I always wanted one but got a second hand Raleigh Grifter instead, which would wheelie -
Not sure if you have already done it Lee but while the carbs are off it might be worth putting some extension lines on the vacuum take off stubbs cos they are a right pain to get at under the choke slide. The bike's looking great and be interesting to see the difference with the jet kit

Nice one Dick! used to do a lot of fell walking and really miss it but now we've got the dog its an ideal time to start again and as for getting out on the bike the car has gone into safe mode running like a bag of spanners and has an emission fault light on so until I can get it booked in its the bike from now on, 0400 in the morning YAK! cars....... to clever for their own good! -
Afraid I don't know a lot about computers either but the one in the link is a lot better spec than the Compaq I'm running and that's been fine and it seems a good price, isn't Compaq just Hewlett-Packard anyway? -
Bike stolen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
gravelrash replied to Davehutch-hutchs's topic in The Pub "Tinker and Budget"
What a bad time for this to happen Dave (not that there's a good time) hope he gets it back and in one piece but like Mark said sounds very professional -
Have a great Christmas everyone and a safe and prosperous new year Mike.H -
What's "facebook"? -

Brake cleaner
gravelrash replied to gravelrash's topic in Advice on Repairing and maintaining your bike
I only use it as a brake/carb cleaner Dave for cleaning the chain I use paraffin then wurth dry chain lube -
