Hi guys---------just a reminder that this month's BULLET BASH (No.4) departs from the BIKER CAFE', QUATT, BRIDGNORTH, SHROPSHIRE at 10.00AM sharp-----Hope to see a lot of you there. Alan R

Wotcha.

My Bullet ended up coming home on the back of a recovery wagon . . . . . Took the Bullet for MOT yesterday - passed, but my friendly tester pointed out my rear sprocket was worn and had a broken tooth. Right - off I went to get a new chain and sprocket - came back and fitted 'em.
Today I decided to pop over to Yeomans and see if they had a left hand footrest for my damaged B31 - yes they did.
Seeing as it was a decent day, I took the Bullet over the top of Romsley rather than sit on the motorway. Got to the island at Halesowen and my clutch cable snapped. Bugger ! Being of the old school of biking, I carry spare cables and a toolkit. . . . . what I don't carry is a spare leg. Yes - once again this bloody injury caught me out. There was no way I could kneel down and fit the cable into the gearbox. I ended up being bought back home on the back of a lorry - not due to the bike being broken, but a case of the rider being broken.

Hmm - maybe time to work on a hydraulic clutch. . . . . p.s. Cable now fitted, back up and running. Should be there Sunday morning - weather permitting

Hi guys---------just to update you}---have a look at this, (clik onto DAY VISITORS and you will see that entry is HALF PRICE from 3.30pm..£5 instead of £10 !!)------------------------http://www.portmeirion-village.com/cont ... VER}---BBC Weather forecast is for sunshine & HEAVY showers in the Portmadog area so we might opt for a shorter, more local run instead, say DOM'S at Leominster}----http://domsbikestop.com/---or SLEAP AIRFIELD, near Wem. Look at this}----- http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/museums/war ... ---------- Plus this for food }---------http://www.flyer.co.uk/news/newsfeed.ph ... ------Will have to decide over breakfast at Quatt.

Alan is it this Sunday 17/06?

Hi all-----------yes LEE B, this SUNDAY, 17th JUNE, 2012. Due to the poor forecast for North and Central Wales we'll probably have to opt for a shorter run. Final decision over breakfast at Quatt.

Hi guys ------------ just to confirm tomorrow's meeting at the Biker Cafe, Quatford for Breakfast--then decide what destination depending on the weather at the time. BBC forecast in Shropshire generally appears to be bright with showers---warm all afternoon. Departure for 10.00am as before.

Wotcha.

Well - we never actually got wet.
Took a look at a collection of worn out, broken and crashed relics - ( but enough of the bikes ) at Sleap Airfield.
Thanks again to Alan for being the instigator of this 'ere event. . . . and here's the piccies . . http://www.flickr.com/photos/moonshiner ... 7032/show/
