going to be done before next week i'm afraid!!!!!!!!
there is NO WAY i am going to let any of you girls hear me squeal or see me in pain, even if it is only for a minute or so!! still counts tho
Always best to get those daunting bits out of the way as soon as possible - never put them off, because they soon build up into being obstacles we kid ourselves into thinking we'll *never* get over!
Just ask DS about how we *ahem* ... "persuaded" her to take a real nasty hill last year It did the trick, she rode it like a dream and laid her demons to rest (including having to follow a car that couldn't have taken the hill any slower unless it had reversed 10 yards for every 20 it climbed!)
Good Mornin Peeps!!

Hope u get your coil soon!
Too right Lou, one small step for mankind
Cheers Geoff .. me anorl
Well, young lady, quite the celebrity these days As for your "pooping" bike I suspect its unburnt exxcess fuel igniting in the exhaust (good old fashioned backfiring to you ) check that the air filter is not clogged up and get someone to check the "float" needle in the carb to make sure its not flooding, that could cause an over rich mixture Let me know how you get on, but well done for persevering with a less than perfect bike many novices use that as an excuse not to ride Keep it up Stella will be sooo jealous when you turn up Em
lol i dunno about celebrity, behave yasen!!
Air filter... 'float' needle.... yessum boss! .......
Thanks EM..its due to all the help and positive comments i get from you guys and reading everyone else's experiences that keeps me going!
Nahhhhh Stells wint be jealous, shes dont lots of solo pootles shes braver than me lol
well my Coil has now arrived, just gotta get it fitted now & yep I am jealous that your's is working Kaz - havn't been out since Matlock!! (well a mile up the road & then broke down!)
awww Stells that was my first pootle since Matlock too!! what wit the weather and one thing and another
Glad you've got your coil, get it fitted now lass and we can get out pootling together!
as mentioned in a previous post of mine girls, if you can manage to get time away from work it may help as you will be able to arrive early and miss the traffic and crowds!!!
I am off this day and will be available to help if anyone is struggling or unsure, and i'm sure there will be others to help as well, and for anyone arriving later can be met at gates/entrance so they are not alone, dont know if its riding across grass etc, but you will all be fine so dont worry and just enjoy the experience...
