Anyone going to Brands this weekend for BSB? Probably going on Sat but will be taking the VFR
If I still lived darn sarf Tom, I would defo be there. I didnt miss a BSB race for years and years at Brands. And i always got in FOC. It's just hard going getting there and back in a day from here. Cadwell my local circuit now, just up the road.

Well I did think of you when I suggested it, but of course you are not in Dungeness anymore. How come you always blagged it? We paid £20 for entrance and £10 for Paddock Hill stand (free seating on Sat). Good value.

Anyway, it was a glorious day and as my mum would have said, "you've caught the sun!". Great day's racing and legged it round some parts of the circuit - there's so little time between the action and you don't want to miss anything.

Of interest here is this, on show outside some outfit called Slipstream Tuning :)

Don't know about the numbers but did you wind the engine so all the slack is on the tensioner side of the chain, then loosen the pinch bolt? I think that's all you can do statically.

When you start the engine you can slacken the bolt and push gently down on the end of the pushrod to take up any remaining slack.

Other Bikes / Re: Strange thing with the battery on the Thundercat

Not sure Julie but when I put my charger on to the 400F AGM battery (Motobatt) the thing that covers the tops of the cells popped up overnight, so the opposite really.

What charger do you have? Mine is the CTEK MXS 5.0, which I think I chose because someone else on here recommended them.

I've found that sealed batteries don't like being discharged (nearly) completely. That will finish them off and even an old-school charger won't shock (no pun intended) them back to life. I trashed one of my VFR batteries like that, precisely because it has a 1990s alarm.

For the tank film, can you find a supplier of 3M Ventureshield in small amounts? Had a quick look, not obvious how to get such a small quantity but seems highly recommended.

Top post says they are, Pete. Would have thought if one has a use for them their quality would exceed anything after-market, double-skinned and everything.

I am in GT Massingham just outside Fakenham

Last primary and all secondary school years + A levels I lived in Sporle. It was a shock moving there from Kew as a 9 1/2 year old... my first day at primary school in the village I couldn't get over that 3 surnames covered a good chunk of the class  :)

But the open skies, the freedom I could enjoy and later going to Kings Lynn for college on my CB175K6 - I came to really love the place.

Is this site any good?

They were the cheapest for the bearing puller set I got.

I would never imagine someone would not align the pins. Just goes to show, never underestimate the stupid.
