Yeh I know what you mean hun... tis the pennies more than owt though..

the car needs MOT at beginning of Nov and I don't think that's gonna pass and I need the car for work.. ( I could do with a pre-MOT car check.. but seeing as this is a bike forum, I'll not mention it)
Oooops did I type that out loud??

So it's more viable to keep Zig off the road for now.. but I'd still like to come along and learn something new

if you dont have a tub of swarfega, washing up liquid and a good spoon of sugar is a good degreaser!

OK, I'm hoping to be there for 11 "ish" With a view to making a start about 12 That should give folks enough of a "window" to get there & get organised wi brews and food etc. I'll be there all afternoon so we should have enough time to give everyone some individual attention But we may have to have some "group" demonstrations to save time Kaycat can't make it now so any offers of help on the day will be most welcomed Depending on how many "actually" turn up, I would appreciate any help that can be offered by "experienced" peeps Might have to call on the services of Poshtotty I hear she's pretty handy with the spanners If those who have them, can bring their manuals/owners handbook that would be a great help Also make sure you bring the bike's toolkit if you have one I'll be bringing a few "toys" which should cover most jobs As mentioned previously there is no "plan" Just deal with whatever questions you may have after outlining the maintenance tasks you can safely carry out yourselves "Spectators" are welcome to come and observe/join in You never know what morsel of information might come in handy one day Just remember folks, whilst I have fairly good working knowledge of bikes I'm not an encyclopedia of motorcycling So I may not be able to answer every question But I'll make a point of finding out so we both learn something See you there

OK, I'm hoping to be there for 11 "ish" 
 
With a view to making a start about 12 
 
That should give folks enough of a "window" to get there & get organised wi brews and food etc. 
 
I'll be there all afternoon so we should have enough time to give everyone some individual attention 
 
But we may have to have some "group" demonstrations to save time 
 
Kaycat can't make it now so any offers of help on the day will be most welcomed 
 
Depending on how many "actually" turn up, I would appreciate any help that can be offered by "experienced" peeps 
 
Might have to call on the services of Poshtotty 
 
I hear she's pretty handy with the spanners 
 
If those who have them, can bring their manuals/owners handbook that would be a great help 
 
Also make sure you bring the bike's toolkit if you have one 
 
I'll be bringing a few "toys" which should cover most jobs 
 
As mentioned previously there is no "plan" 
 
Just deal with whatever questions you may have after outlining the maintenance tasks you can safely carry out yourselves 
 
"Spectators" are welcome to come and observe/join in 
 
You never know what morsel of information might come in handy one day 
 
Just remember folks, whilst I have fairly good working knowledge of bikes  
 
I'm not an encyclopedia of motorcycling 
 
So I may not be able to answer every question 
 
But I'll make a point of finding out so we both learn something 
 
See you there
