Kawasaki Triples Club

To take my mind off the KH carnage, I creosoted (oiled) the back and sides of the Stables and then put a Radio Antenna on the chimney, my first at this house, the neighbours will be wondering...

Wolfie a radio ham, I didn't know they still existed. Went to a blokes house for work once, it had a domed roof; he was a radio ham. Inside this roof was like a bloody tardis, equipment everywhere. He was a real enthusiast who worked for The Ministry of something. Lived alone and spent most of his spare time "on air". Bloody facinating bloke, a right techy old geezer, but he could explain how it all worked and had built the lot himself. Worked with the military and police on their stuff. Made a nice cup of tea as well if I recall correctly, but sadly no biscuits. Over and out.

the genuine battery on my RG 500 bought new was keep on the bike during 14 years w/o any trouble. When I put a new one it was out two years after

Me, Gaz and Fox been out for a 95 mile blast in the simply stunning Peak District - called into CMC and met up with a couple of triplers there Good ride out Gaz - thanks very much.
Stopped for a cuppa in the highest village in England.

What a view


Fox's GT380 banished

Alittle more of the scenery.

oops

entertaining ride home this morning

Oops that doesn't look good Kerry..

Haven't done a single bikey thing all weekend.. (other than wheel the KH onto the bench and shut the door behind it)

So it was a Radio/TV day, I tried to exchange some TV between here and a friend near Barnsley/Sheffield..

Ham Radio/TV is just like old motorbikes, there are very few young people coming in at the bottom, it is a dying art.
Some modern radios are Internet enabled and so they can communicate to someone elses radio on the other side of the world then transmit and receive using that one.
Many hams do it because we still enjoy the fiddling and making stuff work, others just fork out a huge sum for a big posh all singing all dancing piece of kit and plug it in. If I want to talk to Australia I have a phone.

Mini man Chris met this guy!

Well, I took delivery of my H2 twin disc kit from Z-Power ... minus the calipers (they're Z1 style - wasn't thinking though, I could have used them on my S2-A and S3 ).

Then I put a word out to the VJMC members down here (DownUnder) to find a caliper to do a r/h conversion on.

Searching through his parts stash, one member pulled out a caliper and offered it to me for pocket money. Then we had a close look at it and it was a genuine r/h caliper and bracket !

Of course, the price went up a bit then, but I still came out of it at a very good price (thanks Ken). I'll put a kit through it and, with a lick of paint, it'll be magic.

Those calipers don't fit S3A!

Sam, I'm not sure if that was a statement of despair, or a word of advice.

Either way, what I was suggesting was that, if I'd taken the full twin disc kit from Z-Power, I could have put the Z1 style calipers aside to use on my S2-A or S3 some time down the track.

Jeff H2/Z1 calipers do not fit S3.

cruzin image pistons

2cd trackday for orville with full factory back up (Ha I wish)




me and Arron ready to go




After the 2cd session doing the ride of shame






and this is what happenned to the centre piston at the end of the straight





But on a happier note i now have more ground clearance on the right hand side





so it was out with the trusty ninja for the rest of the day




it turns out it was not only the centre( they all seize on the centre mate) but the left as well, so its been a busy week getting it fixed for Ireland.

will post some of the pro pictures up tomorrow

Kerry, that engine is begging for bigger main jets. Or, a possible air leak. These bloody things leak like mad. Until you have pressure tested some you don't realise how bad they can be. I'm sure it will be ready fo next week

you want to get a lick of paint on that pipe tho mate!

couple of the pro pics as promised

while Orville was still alive







shredding the tyres on the ninja




and maybe one of my favorites, me and Arron having a blast

550 kilomters to go in Brittany with my H2B running 4500-5500 RPM 5th gear 16X47 highways and 2 X2 lanes ways 8 liters to 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers

Pushed my 69 H1 nearly 2 miles as it lost it's spark
Figured out that the 45 minute push home would be quicker than waiting for recovery
The problem? The bloody big hill just before our house, oh hang on a snapped yellow wire from behind the oil tank (from the pick up on the Genny) took me 2 hrs to find

That's the problem gary if you use it things tend to break
