Alig's 2016 Fettle Day - 20Th March
Hi All.

There have been one or two not so subtle hints that I should be organising my annual fettle day, so here goes. I have checked when Easter is this year (I know I got it wrong last year) and according to Mr Google, it is Sunday 27th March, so how about Sunday 20th March?

I have checked with the House of Henty and the master is available. I'll provide the bacon and sausage rolls as usual, but you guys need to honour Moose and bring some good cake. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible.

Thanks

Ali

I'll be there,  Moose will be looking on so the cake must be top quality.

The only job that can't really be done is valve shims as your engine needs to be stone cold.

Me too, I'll bring some sort of cake in memory.

Blue 04 TDM,PR2 rear Roadsmart front, Yamaha topox, Givi E360 panniers, PL pannier holders, BMW handguards, Yamaha touring screen, Scottoiler, 12v ciggie socket, carbon core HT leads

I'll be there to record the action.

I'll get the missus to bake a cake.

From 10 am onwards is fine.

Won't do any harm to whip it off and grease it. We did Kelpie's 2010 bike last time. It was dry but ok, but it is good for piece of mind.

Wondering if you guys can help me with a fix for a slightly leaky exhaust where the standard cans meet the S's downpipes please?
There are those who type a lot, and then there are those who ride a lot.
Just a thought, Is this the sort of thing you can fit on a fettle day?  http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Surflex-Hi-Tor...SwoydWipft

Don't see why not. I've seen harder jobs done. Need appropriate gaskets etc!
May I pop round too please?! I come bearing gifts :whatcha:

 

Me bike needs an oil change, brake pad change and swap the tail light for an LED unit. :yu:

I have a set of exhaust tube expanders and some sealing stuff.
Should do the job, thanks for the offer. Looks like a busy day.

just a reminder for Sunday, who's coming and what for?

Me - new front tyre,wheel bearings and possibly fitting my Gipro x gear indicator, oh and probably cooking up the bacon!

Just checked the forecast and it looks like it is going to be dry, but you better get the thermals out as it might be a bit parky.
