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, Â 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.

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?Â

Should do the job, thanks for the offer. Looks like a busy day.

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.
