Awesome ride out👍

Great rally and video Northern.

I only spotted 1 x 14 in the 2017 video but all of the bikes looked well loved.

Just had MOT. Finally fitted some rim-tape. R&G sectional pieces. And a new pair of tyres - Pirelli Angel GT's.

@RickC
Videos are not mine. Just from youtube, searching "Eesti mootorrattahooaja avamine" or "Motohooaja avamine" :)
I never had guts to stand on side and look - always was taking a part.

regarding 14... one was mine, and I see one in a line much more in front of me. I see this bike every year, but do not know, who is the owner.
14 is very rare bake in Estonia. For sure less, than 10 in total. And I personally do not know any other 14 owner here.

Once, one a bikers meting, I was standing in drag race line, and guy, twice bigger than me, run to me smiling: "I have a same bike like you do!" he was from Latvia, and was also happy to see a person who have the same bike like he does.  :)
Unfortunately, not much people here appreciate 14 :(

Hi guys

Sorry for the absent time by me ,being a bit busy ....
so I've now got the three studs that snapped off., they have now being drilled out and re tapped and cleaned and bolts ran through them to. Check there ok and all I'd good ...... at bloody last I say I don't won't to do that again

So it's time to get on with a few other bit like rear shocks and front oil pipes  might do the forks and brakes while I am at it

But just to let you know how it's going  :onya:  :onya:   :onya:
look check and look again  then you see the fool

seth

good luck buddy hopefully the rest of the work is trouble free and goes quickly
:cheers:

I did do a small service to my 14: New Pilot road 4 GT:s front and rear, new rear wheel bearings, old 5w fork oils changed to 10w oils.
But then: I noticed that my front brake pads are almost totally worn. Ferodo organig pads were worn out in 15 000 km. They were installed same time than new TRW front discks. What next? Back to sintered pads?

Hmm I was never keen on the Ferodo's when I tried them - my preference was SBS Excels, yes a sintered pad, but excellent stopping power, had just a slight edge over the EBC's in the dry and a little more controllable in the wet (in my opinion)
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Both the bike and me got wet - Bugger - checked the forecast and no rain forecast - rode 20 miles to the seaside and hadn't checked what the weather was going to be there and it pissed down - thank goodness for the underseat storage was able to get my w/proof leggings out - felt sorry for 2 guys who had just picked up their brand spanking new MT 10's and they got soaked. :bugga:

The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

did the f/r brakes pull out  the pads clean the calipers and flushed with fresh brake fluid and did the clutch too.. the pads are good for another couple of years   :boogie: :cheers:

Hello!
We visited the Susikoski Cafe annual spring meet called Susikoskipäräys. The weather was quite cold(7 deg celsius), but a few bikes was there(over 500 bikes).

Stripped and cleaned the rear calliper - new SS bolts and EBC HH pads  :smile2:

I used Amazon gift vouchers to buy wax and various things to try and bring the bike back to life.

Actually if you're struggling for an idea for a Christmas gift for yourself from someone, ask for online vouchers because you can buy bike gear without spending cash money later when ready.

Anyway, lots of cleaning.
