In serious need of a beer now.

Had it stolen from outside my work place (Hospital) when I was working the night shift

I hope the thieving bastards get leprosy and their hands fall off.

That is a rotten thing to have happened , no mercy for thieves here.

is nothing safe these days, the thieving gits need a lesson, perhaps if you posted your reg and description some of us might see the bike somewhere and be able to report it to you and the Police.

Left hand front brake totally ceased .. in fact could hardly push the bike off the centre stand due to it .. rebuilt both front calipers .. good rebuild kit bought from wemoto's .. but having problems bleeding them .. lever feels spongy .. there must be a bit of air still in there .. have read all the forum and done all the tips but just cannot get the lever to firm up .. Any other tips ?

Tie wrap the brake lever to the handle bar and leave over night.

UK_Vstrom650 · « **Reply #9096 on:** July 21, 2019, 22:50:14 »

Everytime I do my brakes I end with a cable tie over the brake lever over night and everytime they're nicely firmed up the next day

Needed some new helmets so took a little ride out to Sportsbike shop at Boston. Helmets paid for (will be delivered tomorrow) we thought we should pay a visit to East Kirkby and go see the Lancaster. From there a short run to Coningsby, but we were too late for any action, it was gone 17.00 now, so we set off home. Arrived home after 201 miles......and bloody hot!!!!
A couple of photos........................
The owner of the Ariel uses it to get to work.
