And Rob yes the Motorcycle hot-dog man still attends Old Buck, Thankfully Ben (landlord) also opens an external bar but is still a bun-fight, as most weeks because of good weather normally 400+ bikes so rather busy.

Be happy to meet up somewhere around Norwich :D
If Weather is OK on 31st then I would be good for a Whitwell trip - may PM you next Thursday after checking weather. Old Buckenham sounds good so will try to get over there as well sometime in August - I was trying to get a mate to take my 400 and me on the 1100 so it's almost a Katana meeting!

I must of not altered the wheel alignment last year as exactly the same advisory, and the new Master now works as should and tester said i was being Anal about brake lever travel.
So i'm ready for any trip now Mot'd so Rob if your going (to strawberry fair) sorry got carried away :lol: i mean't Wimbotisham , and if you time it right i'll even buy you a chilli sauce coated Hot dog, i'll be there as bank holiday weather is reported to be good + Sunny :roll:, has been a rocky road for mot but got there in the end and who knows maybe i might see 100 miles this year yet :mrgreen:

I will also be doing Whirtwell station this friday night if you fancy a trip out :?:

Wahoo indeed! Had arranged to go to Old Buckenham tonight for the first time, but cancelled it as weather is shite. Whitwell sounds good (was planning to maybe try again as possibly the last chance this year and also planning to get to Wimbotisham (all weather dependant!).

Go for a yellow Motobatt - work well and no need to worry about topping up. Was hoping to do front wheel bearings on 1100 before then as well! Also last run on the 400 was good until around Framlingham Castle way when it decided to run on 3.5 cylinders :? It was just after hitting a really large pothole - but that maybe coincidence. Need to check it out, first look if that is fires every now and then as pipe does get warm but not as quick as the other 3. Plug was really wet - I'm kind of thiniking Carb pumping in too much fuel (how strange a 400 with a carb issue - I blame JohnR), so a stripdown to check it out.

Catch you end of week to see if what your plans are.

Have a good spin to check it all out before hand.
