Looking like a riding day today

Pictures if you've gone for a nice run out and Zed spotting.

Looking like a riding day today

#1 PostAuthor: Gavin » Sun Apr 17, 2016 8:15 am

As it looking like being a nice day I think a ride to Squires Cafe is in order.
Although I am still giving it until 11 clock before setting off to give the roads a chance to dry.

Yep left about the same time, got to the petrol station and found a plain black BMW m3 with blacked out windows on the side of the road, plain cop car, he'd pulled a plastic rocket for overtaking him and popping a wheelie whilst doing it apparently !!!. Had a loverly time bombing around the downs near Eastbourne. :D

Never made it to Squires in the end, I was about 10 miles away then I heard this scraping noise from the bike, I pulled over put the bike on main stand lifted the front wheel and started to spin as fast as possible, no scraping noise so I put the bike in ear and took the engine to 2500 revs, again no scraping.
I decided to head home at 50 mph, an out 10 miles to go the noise was still there so I stopped put the bike on side stand and noticed the bracket that I fitted to stop the main stand touching the chain had moved.
The scenarios that I was going though on my noisy ride home ranged from brake pads to needing new discs, in the end move the bracket

Happy days :D
