you're very welcome to come to the BBQ if you would like to donate to my walk,here's the link Jennifer Coates is fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support
The BBQ started off as a thank you to all the forum members who donated to my walk,it sort of grew from there really,it'll be a good crowd for sure,as hubby has quite a few of his R1 Forum guys coming along too
Sorry to say I don't think I'm not going to make it. I'm not crying off, I've got problems with the KTM now. Its been remapped but the fuelling has been playing up. Took it back to the tuners yesterday and the map was all over the place. It looks as though a Scottoiler (fitted by a previous owner and now binned) was running erratically and sucking air into the inlet through the vacuum pipe. The map has been restored but the spigot for the vacuum pipe which was screwed into the manifold had stripped the threads and I can't get a blanking screw to hold. It'll probably need drilling and retapping. Not a big job but I'm not going to get it done in time for Saturday. It'll run like a dog if the screw comes out. Can't risk that half way up the M40. Really sorry Jen. I was genuinely looking forward to it and meeting forums members. (I don't get out much). And sorry to your hubby for depriving him of some much needed KTM moral support. Please PM me your address (not just postcode - no satnav) just in case I can get the bike sorted Saturday morning. If I can't, apologies again and have a great time. Take lots of piccies please and post em up. Don't let anyone escape and the more drunken and embarrassing the better. :Snaphappy: :Kiss:
