Have not seen haystackes like this for years so stopped to take a photo. Where is a sepia filter when you need it.

I hope mine looks that good when I rebuild it.

Just dropped the busa off for a service. In years gone by I would have done it myself but now I cannot be arsed.

[Bren]

Had call from guys doing work - sump may have to come off due to a loose sump plug and lots of PTFE tape - a gorilla had been there previously....

[groovylee]

loaded up the R6 this morning with a three man tent, camp bed, sleeping bag, stove, chair and a few clothes.

 

annual BCF BBQ begins this evening, so straight after work im off up north

Just pulling your leg sir!

 

 

Are they going to retap the plug hole thingy or are they talking a new sump?

There was nothing wrong with thread - plug went straight back in.

However on way home from picking bike up the front brake stuck on - the improved braided hoses had obviously pushed pistons out further than normal and filth stopped them from freeing off.

So after having a service I had to strip and clean the front brakes - they just check the lining thickness nowadays. It needed it because MOT is due next week.

[DodgeRover]

That's pretty poor, brakes strip and clean was part of the service schedule when I was working in a dealership.

Used to cause much moaning when a festery one came in but they had new pistons and seal kits stock for most common stuff

[Bren]

Not any more - even cars only get a visual check.

[Guest Hooli]

Depends if it's a full service or just oil n filter that most people call a service?

I believe they can, but like everything - condition of the RG is paramount - the frame, engine and plastics need to be pretty good for them to get serious coin.

[Eddie Honda]

And soon

[Guest Hooli]

Oi been Trim too.

[Bren]

Busa shite.

[Guest Hooli]

Less than 1k from getting new tyres fitted I've had one puncture repaired in the rear already & today I found a two inch screw in the back tyre again...

 

 

...Somehow it'd gone in flat so it was just through the tread block in line with the carcass. Pulled it out & no leak! I was amazed.

[srad34]

Busas are great, they just look like they have been left near a radiator for too long

Busa shite.

 

Nice, I was looking at these a couple of weeks ago whilst changing bikes, I very nearly bought one but then remembered why I sold my R1, lack of self control

 

I will buy one one day though, one of the few bikes of that era I have never ridden.
