Got mine out of my mates garage today. Not seen it for a few months. Forgot how light and sweet it is. Did a short spin on it. Chased away the winter blues.

Re: What have you done on your MT?

a brilliant time was had as the weather was as good as any this year.
a very frendly bunch plus in the evening we had a large bonfire, most stayed on the site and the banter was as always good fun.:tongue:

Re: What have you done on your MT?
Out on the MT yesterday with Ainzy. A bit chilly in parts over Saddleworth and later Moss Moor but very enjoyable. Bit of ice here and there on the A62 kept us entertained.:wink:
Ainzy took a few pictures which might be put on later.:wink::wink:

Re: What have you done on your MT?
Replaced the rubber chain slipper that is mounted on the centre stand with a skate board wheel.
A lot of cutting and welding to the centre stand.
View from underneath!
I had to chop the centre stand all to pieces to get it mounted in the correct place but it works brilliant and should last much longer than the standard piece of rubber that the chain slides over, as it rotates as the chain goes round.:wink:
A big plus also is that I have another 3 skateboard wheels exactly the same as spares!:smile: :smile:

Re: What have you done on your MT?
I have no idea Tony!
I am fed up with buying the rubber chain slippers that only do a few hundred miles before they need replacing, they cost nearly ?8.00 a throw, so I fabricated the main stand to incorporate the skateboard wheel that will rotate when the chain rolls over it and should last for thousands of miles with maybe the odd bearing change on the wheel and is a better idea as a long term solution.
The chain tension is still done with the main stand being in the up position and when the main stand is in the down position it slackens the chain to allow full access to the rear wheel the same as with the original rubber slipper!:wink:

Re: What have you done on your MT?
I took it out in the rain this afternoon and gave it an absolute thrashing!:wink:
I rode on lots of back roads and then followed the coast roads around to The Valley of Rocks, Lynton, Lynmouth, Porlock, Selworthy,Minehead where I stopped off for an ice cream.
Outside of Butlins Minehead.
Then on to Dunster!
Weddon cross,Challacombe and home!:wink:
Only 100 kilometeres travelled but a wonderful afternoons bimble of fast riding in the rain.
I am so pleased with the way the MT rides and performs in all weathers it brings a smile to my face every time I ride it.:smile::smile::smile:
It beats looking out the window, wondering when the sun is finally gonna shine so as not to get your polished pride and joy dirty.:smile:

Re: What have you done on your MT?
The great advantage of the MT. Ainzy was over last night to change the oil in his Sportster gearbox. We were saying that he needs to get his back on the road soon. I have been using mine a bit. Ideal on flooded roads.
