Wheels mis-aligned!

<< < (2/2)

Nurse Julie:
Having met you Mark, I can understand that 😃😃😃

MarkCR750:
Ha, btw you were on a 400/4 at high speed?, did you go over a cliff? 😄

Back to the subject, agree with above, no problem with your bike, but go to the same MOT guy next time, if you get another one that thinks your frames bent you'll be in a world of pain, I had one say my ZXR had a "slightly bent frame ", he put it on as an advisory the idiot, I had to get a letter from another MOT guy stating the frame was fine (which it was) or I'd have never been able to sell it!, slightly bent!, same as slightly pregnant?.

Nurse Julie:
Trust me Mark, it was fast for a 400/4  ;D ;D

Think its time to arm myself with a couple of nice straight edges as mentioned for alignment purposes.  Ive always used the marks which would explain a lot as when you wheeled the bike backwards the chain used to snag ever so slightly on the rear sprocket.  I didnt think there was too much wrong as the bike handles reasonably well, although the front end has a rather alarming knack of reminding you its a 40 year old bike if you get too friendly with the throttle.

Anyway, thanks all....you learn something new every day!  Now all ive got to do is get my kit dry for the early morning commute!  Yesterday the rain was running off my jeans and straight down my boots.....nice.

Bike didnt miss a beat though which isnt bad as the roads were more like rivers on the way home from the mot station.  My K7 back in the late 80's used to stop if you squirted a water pistol at it.....ah the innocence of youth!

I have to say I was quite envious when I saw it , exactly the same as the one I had in 1980, a mere 36 years ago 😳
