Do we have to prepare for Brands? I was thinking of wiping the oil off my cam covers, but I'm really not sure I can find the energy.... (or a clean rag).

Rumour has it that removing the lubricating sludge from the crankcases might help, but it means getting the bike off the trailer, and we all know that's never going to happen....

running like a dog is she....oil from every seal and gasket....

You may jest, but she really is rough as the proverbial badger's tush....

Both of the spark plugs have fallen out, one of the wheels has fallen off (front, I think), the brakes have left the building, the bodywork is deeply distressed, the rear shock is mis-sprung, mis-set, mis-understood, and mis-sing....

All in all I'm considering dropping the 675 and entering on a rollerblade.....


Me and Pete spent an afternoon stopping oil leaks from all places with gasket sealer..exhaust is was blowing...swingarm is leaking grudge from both joints...after 5 mins of running she wont idle below 5k...we have 1 sheared bolts on the head that we have gummed up..i have locktighted all the bolts as she is vibrating so bad after every race i have lost at least 4 bolts.....

at least u got Ohlins.............. :P
