Mrs Snot is in bits...... now getting better 3 of them in the garage... 3 of us last nite too... Have left the lads with long faces, after 'crasher Clemmans' had his wicked way with Mrs Snot at paddock in the gravel:ninja: So much gravel stuck in all kinds of places:o as some of you know, it was half full in the airbox (memo: make sure there is a cover of some sort on yours, if it's likely to play in gravel) - and also gravel down the bits to the pistons. Also gravel jammed into the fins from all angles. Head at the front is off, lots of gravel in there too - more piled up against the piston.... AK needs a magic wand - and not just for the other broken bits that have to be replaced (seat pod, throttle, footset etc) - and I'm going to have to take out shares in Mr Sheen to get the paintwork in anything like a good condition that it was. Brands? - wossat then? - 2 weeks??:o:o I've come in now, to escape the long silences in the garage:sniff: But keeping fingers xx'd that hubby, Doug & Mutters can mend/buy/steal/fix bits to get her living again:) C [Edited on 24-8-2005 by CK and AK] |
Good luck - it was a real shame to see Mrs Snot all gravelly!! Alan takes great pride in prepping his bikes and was sad to see her looking a bit abused. But she'll be back I'm sure. I just hope she cut out before the gravel went into the cylinders!!! :barfy::barfy: |
we dont think she did Tim:( |
no good to read... I really hope Alan the Desmo wizard is going to make her even more beautiful than before and in time for Brands. |

Bugga - 675 then for Brands? |
Sorry to hear of the little excursion CK. Am I right in thinking No 34 went the same way with a bandit on board? |
Bad news there's so much damage to the Snot, but Paddock tends to take no prisoners, I've marshalled there and seen the mess :( #34 just got a bit muddy, didn't hit the deck jon. actually it looks a bit like a tractor now but this ain't my thread so I'll shut up! |
#36 was carried away by enjoying himself so much, he didnt leave enough braking room... he said he hasnt slid so far ever! #34 (with substitute jockey;) ) also did similar, but not to quite such extremes hey-ho - thats the nature of the game tho - quicker you go, the quicker it tumbles - and the times were quite good on his last session too. Tis trackdays/racing - occasionally something happens - we still have the smokin' 675 as you say tim, and also a 'stuffed' 583' - with no barrels.... so - we WILL be out to fight again - one way or the other:) oops: - just need to add a disc to the shopping list too (or otherwise he'll nick the pair off my bike for the next meeting!:o ) [Edited on 23-8-2005 by CK and AK] |

I've got 3 spare sets of discs (one belonging to Paul)... in each of those one disc is warped I think, but it means one can be used... Let me know if it can help. [Edité le 24-8-2005 par Tonio600] |
cheers Tonio, we also have an 'un-matched pair' somewhere. Will let you know how it goes mate. And thanks for the u2u's of bits chaps, we think we can sort things out tho:) AK just working to the 'Thunderbirds' tune tonight I think..... :) |
Wow - sounds like Mrs Snot got a good kicking! I hope she's all better in time for Brands! |
well, we now have a new look garage floor:o - liberal sprinkles of gravel:lol: After AK spending a long time last night with Mutters & Doug stripping lots of bits off - and time after they went too, and more time tonight after work, we are now breathing more easily:rolleye: We have had ignition & she appears to be running soundly - tho I'm not to sure about the condition of my bike, which was pebble dashed by the copious amounts of gravel fired out of the zausts!!!:o (ok, I exaggerate, 2 or 3 stones;) ) Need to re-fit broken bits or their soon to arrive replacements, and brands should be a goer as a 620:cool: Thanks once again to those who offered bits & bobs as replacements, dont worry - you arent off the hook yet, as we are still assessing... anyone got a std 900ssie RH clip-on bar for sale, as this has been ground right down - we could get away with the existing one we think (havent checked whether it is bent as more concerned with engine) C |
Glad she's ok folks. Have you polished the green bits yet C?????:devil: |
something & off springs to mind karen:P am not good for being wound up, with only 5 hrs sleep in last 2 days - the rest of the time after 10.30ish being spent in the garage helping AK :o:rolleye: C |
Shout if you need any more hands - himself is usually keen to pitch in. |
Cheers:D think we have got to the stage now, that we need to bolt on & check replacement bits as they come in during the next week or so. (was working hard the last few nights, so we could have time together this w/end;) ) - and Al is racing with mark the following w/end at brands, so no w/end time then either. You coming over on Sunday to V'Mans do? |
Not this one - we are trying to have a w/e at home for once. Might even have grass in the back yard by the end of it. Season end bbq sometime maybe ???? |
