6 new things learnt today....

fookin disaster here

On me way up to Red Lion at 12-50. Sun shining ,feeling good looking forward to maybe meeting you 2 then disaster struck.
As you know I put some new levers on a few days ago. Clutch gave up at the A6-Cleggs Lane junction right out side Netto.
My fault. Put levers on ,pumped clutch a few times thought everything was dandy. Went up and down our road this morning and made sure the spans where right. No probs, off we go.
Bike was fine until Netto then it just stoppped engaging. What I think happened is that their was pressure in the line that got me 2-3 miles, then it just went and the plunger rod on the new lever was not excactly the same length as the old one. Anyway ,stranded until our maud came up with the old lever and some tackle. Swapped the new one for the old one and hey presto, mended.
Any road I adjusted the new plunger rod to the same as the old one [i thought I'd already done this but obviously not] refitted that and :thumbup. I had an idea what it was but theirs no screwdriver small enough or allen key small enough to do what was needed in the little toolkit you get with the bike. Again my fault as I've got a little tool kit I made up myself with all the tackle in I needed but just didn't have it with me :banghead
By this time it was 2-30 and I was getting grief cause it is youngest sprogs b-day and all the family were on their way.
Moral of this story is - if you change your clutch lever take some fookin tools with you on your first ride. I've changed clutch levers on Prillas before and never had this happen.
And if the suns out and its dry go for a fookin ride.
Tell you what though, I was at the side of the road for about half an hour -40 mins and obviously broken down and at least 6 bikes went passed. Not so much as a nod. Twats.

Yoozy
they were probably jealous of ya bike and didn't wanna stop in case they were shown up............. twats.

oh.

that was you was it.

cheeers boys feel better now

Not really cause we went to the the La Scala in Westhoughton tonight, about 10 of us and it was fakkin awfull.:thumbdown

Fookin thing was it was at traffic lights so the twats HAD to stop.:thumbdown
Seriously tho, I never ride past a broken down biker. They might only need a bakky to the petrol station.

Food was dog ****, well to be more accurate cold dog ****. Sent loads back. Service was the sort of thing you see happening at Guantanamo Bay. Din't kick off because last time we took young sprog out it was **** to and she got upset. Gonna write and ask for 50% back. Think I'll get it :rolleyes

No! why go back to them if it is not up to scratch?.

They'll never see me or me dough again. Gonna try and get a refund though. £12 for a chicken ****** with a tin of tomatoes chucked over it. :no Turds.

What do you expect with a face like that. Nothing up wi the nosh at Guantanionmgimp if your'e into oranges. Shure as **** they don't moan about cold plates. Get real ya Fu||||||||||||||. Can simpathise or whatever with young one, don't need Dad kicking off when yer grubs no good and yer starvin. WTF dad sort it.

Din't kick off nooo. Like a proper man and leader of troops I went out side sulking cause me belly and me head was still raging and left our maud to pay.
:blush She's much much calmer than me.



10 of us at around 25+ quid each for a couple of pizzas and some microwave meals :crazy:banghead., if they put that in front of ME I'd of flipped so I ran off like a big **** :yes

Hell, you know what....and a lot of people don't......you can actually pay what you consider a fair price for a sub-standard meal. If the Twats give you £5 of slop and try and charge you £25.....feck em, in a nice way mind.

Pay the £5 and walk out. If they're inclined to call Plod, he won't be interested as you're not refusing to pay, far from it, you're just paying what you consider the meal is worth. The Twats then have to take you through the courts for redress.....the thing is with most Twats, they KNOW when they're screwing you - and so do the courts - so they wont bother.....

Actually done that twice before. But didn't want to cause a scene with the little ones birthday and that. One fancy place in Worsley near us [another Italian] served up a load of ***** and by the time we actualy got it we'd had about 4 bottles of vino, between 4 of us I might add. All adults so we agreed we'd had enough half way through the meal, told them it was crap and just left the cost of the wine on the table. Went to the pub next door and got leathered. :thumbup
