So what have you done today..?

Fork seal gone on the Hyper - i can see loads of pattern ones on ebay - but no oem ones...unless a. anyone has a link and b. anyone has used pattern ones with no problems...i did the other side last year but the seal cost fucking loads (from recollection it was about 35 quid for a fucking fork seal...as in 1...) edit - found the oem one....£68.47 for one seal???!!!

 

Ticked all the 6 odd target boxes this morning and then treated myself to a rideout on the R,as not been used for three weeks.Covid-19 must be done and dusted as i did notice all the muppets back out & about walking/running/cycling down at the coastline,Flowers / bins for @Ducbird and Flies for @Expat Jack.

 

Looking a cool dude on that wonderful motorcycle.

 

For me it's proceed with caution,until a life pill comes my way.

 

Interesting ride out. 220 miles total and my arse is killing me. Barely went a little over the speed limit and just cruised, lovely.

Saved a cyclists life who had been hit by a car, or hopefully have anyway.
Then my mate nearly got taken out by a car driving like a complete t**t, so he got pulled over and his head nearly caved in. Trackdays are much safer.

 

Well done you and i hope she was wearing Lycra.

 

Plenty of Lycra, but a mid 50’s bloke so not quite the same effect. Paramedic was lovely though.

 

I think I’ve bought this.
There’s no paperwork with it, but all the numbers, keys and reg plate are there, I’m promised that it runs, but has been stood for a long time.
So, what do the collective (you lot) think its worth?
Nut and bolt rebuild? cafe racer? just get it registered, running and MOT’d? Or break it?

 

The cops in brum used to deliver
summons and fines on these years ago . they were a fun little chug chug .

 

Ta for that, I had a look on eBay, but there wasn’t much to look at, just loads of bits from America with ridiculous postage prices.
It’s got a new battery, but the petrol is stale, needs the carb off and a tin of cleaner blasting through it; might just get it anyway, somebody somewhere will want it if I don’t.

 

Were you in Wales or Scotland?

 

Buckinghamshire

 

Pyramid Parts - at least I think that's what they're called. I did mine last year on the 748, no bother at all and good quality. I think @Birdie used the same when he did his last year as well.

 

Cheers - ive found an oem on ebay....got it for 30 plus the carriage but, ill definately be going pattern after this!!
