2012 itinerary

First up in April is the Flying Brick rally at Blankenheim in the Eifel on Ethel. Then comes Mallory Festival of 1000 bikes on the ZX6R followed by the Manx on Ethel then Donington Park on the ZX6R.
Looking forward to seeing the leathers after Rachel at Dobbs finishes expanding them. Also have a lairy Ninja paddock jacket from e bay so I suppose all the greybeards will all go tut, tut....

ZX6R - again

Just can't stop blinging about the ZX6R. Have now removed rear footrests and clonky original muffler hangar. Replaced this by a nice alloy part so the rear end looks uncluttered. Now have ideas of a Hagon mono shock without that ugly nitrogen bottle and clumsy pipe. May go the whole hog and put in progressive fork springs while I am at it. After about 100 miles the brakes have freed off and feel positive, the exhaust has not gone clattering down the road and so far nothing else has gone BANG or smells of fish so far so good.

ZX6R Christmas workshop

Stupidly pleased to complete the update and tidy up. Changed the brake hoses to Girling braided steel front and rear, added new pads and fluid. Delighted with a brilliant tip from Ian Joyce of Bright Motor Works on brake bleeding. Super glue a short length of plastic tubing to the end of a syringe, fill syringe with brake fluid, attach open end to half a turn open bleed nipple and squirt fluid back upwards to master cylinder. Tighten nipple after a syringe full then open and repeat until master cylinder is full. This saves millions of brake lever pumps. Then bleed out any air using a one way valve system, I have a £10 Little Bleeder,by pumping the lever with nipple open until clear fluid fills exit tube then tighten nipple. This can be done in just a few minutes. Great.
