Was good to catch up with the guys again ( and the ones I had not met before ).
Thanks to "Yorkie" I will soon have a rear seat cowl and can look to finishing the mods and wiring to the ST! :thumbsup

Thanks for the day guys, I enjoyed meeting up with all and look forward to a lot more times. Apology to Dave, kept him talking at Bunnings in Midland an hour after we left Perth.

many thanks to all and a nice catchup..... "Poppy Dave" & I helped each other out with a clutch fluid flush (Dave's looked like he could empty the reservoir with a fork  >:() ). Mine road well for the 30kms on the freeway home, then winding through the burbs to home it was like I'd pulled the clutch lever in half way..... another bleed upon arrival. Now she's a beaut. All part of the learnin'.

Hoewver , I will do my utmost to be at the next one, I can see that these events will become a regular feature for us.
it is great to see the felowship that is developing.
Hopeinh to meet some of you all in the near future.
Cheers ot all,

Not surprisingly, my clutch has never felt better.

All I can say it that the person or persons who did mine at the 18,000 service obviously have no idea what a clutch cylinder looks like.

Glad to hear that the day was well received.

For the next one, I suggest that it be at some ones house. This would be to do a specific task on that persons bike, eg oil change, brake bleed or the like. The idea would be to show how to do the task to some one who doesnt normally touch the mechanical stuff on their bike.

Ancilliary tasks likje the Jumper lead fitting or HID switch off mods could be done as well.

OK guys, go for it.
