the 'Anyone going to Boxhill today?' thread

Discussion in 'Rideouts & Events' started by Chris, Jun 30, 2013.

  1. Was going to Box this morning, all I had to do was complete the oil change I started yesterday. I like to leave the oil to drain overnight, so yesterday after the Bury hill ride I undid an oil union, mistaking it for the drain plug as I was doing it by feel as my knackered neck isn't quite up to laying on the ground to identify the proper nut to undo.
    This morning I couldn't get the oil union bolt to engage with the thread so after 1/2 hour of frustration I decided to remove the fairing to enable better visibility. Eventually got the bolt back in, filled up with oil and realized there was a broken fairing lug that really needs attention, so no ride for me today!
     
  2. shame John, but pleased you finally got there.
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  3. Back at box hill now
     
  4. was above auto-plotted via a tracker L or was that your proposed route which you then followed?
     
  5. Just to remind myself of what's it's like to be warm Chris I watched a vid of my clumsy attempt to film a ride along one of my favorite beaches in India clutching my camera in my hand and riding one handed.

  11. Chris you know those roads on that map I posted?

    I have found a Xmas tree farm, had to go off road due to well cause I was thinking it is the right thing to do and had 2 wheels of the ground on small bridge but that was not planned.

    Scared the hell out of me.

  12. yes I feel sure have done 99% of roads on your map L - I like the airborne bit! let's do it again next weekend with cameras ready : )
     
  13. Fuck no no more airborn. It goes very smooth, engine revs up and then it goes bang and wobbly as fuck. No thank you. I did it as well while overtaking....... Been bit stupid today.
