Damn bad luck Ali....

Still trying to get my head around this - did the two parts of the generator rub together and create the heat or did something else happen?

Quite worrying really for all us 'SS/SL' dudes.

If I can can be of be of any help, just shout.

Regards - Frank

Many thanks for all the offers of help guys, it's what make's the club what it is. :D

Looks like Nelly's got all the bits we need for the moment, just a question of seeing how she runs when the motor's back together.

A massive shout out to Nelly for clearing the decks and getting to work on a problem that had nothing to do with the Big Bore kit. It's all to easy to forget the kind of service you'd receive at a 'normal' dealer when something like this happens. Top bloke doing a great job.:burn:

Dave: you're bang on the mark. Really nervous about not having enough setup time on track.

Don't suppose anyone's coming down from the Nottingham area this weekend with space for a bike????!

Cheers all,

Ali

Ali, do you want to split the cost of van hire and nip up there, collect mine from Grantham and yours from Nelly's? I won't be much use loading/unloading as still injured but I'm sure there'll be someone around to lend a hand. Then I can get to work on mending my panel. :D

sat april 23rd cadwell, focused events ???

ali 30-Mar-2005 11:09

Both, if the bike's up and running!

Ruthie: Sounds like a plan. Can't do this Sat. morning unless I cancel my 900's MOT (possible). Could do Sat afty or Sunday, or next weekend. Have a feeling you'll be a bit busy next weekend though.

Ali, I'll be at this as well with Tonio on his Sport.

You know you want to ...

fil2 30-Mar-2005 11:37

yes better that you go to a due track if you can.............

i chose silverstone as its local to me and all i want to do is stretch the legs of the big bore kit and dont fancy a huge day in the van......
also the cads on the 23rd is way way to close to comfort if "er" shall we say something goes wrong.........time will be of the essence then and i dont want to run the risk of not making the first race due to complications lol

Ali,if its any help i could nip up to Nellys and pick the DD up on saturday and run it down to you.
Wouldnt mind meeting Nelly and it seems silly hiring a van when ive got 15 of them sitting idle at weekends.
Ring me if thats any use.
Butch
