Exup 1000

Well that makes me out to be a bit of a fibber.

This is how it went. I was at the sherburn Cafe a while ago, and I was talking to a lad who used to work at Padgetts. He told me about the Exups in crates etc. I had a ride over to Padgetts just to have a look at some paddock jackets. While I was ...

It says in1994 Stig.

Fantastic photos, and the bike looks well. Did you cross the finish line in first?

Has anybody got a damaged front mudguard for an 89/90 FZR1000R? I don’t need the actual mudguard itself, but I’m wanting the 2 metal parts that the 4 bolts fit into. If anybody has one taking shelf space up, I’d be interested. It would mean carefully drilling out the old rivet heads off to get them ...

Happy New Year boss. Let’s hope it’s a good year for all of us. Looking forward to lots of miles and smiles this year.

That goes for me too. Have a good safe Christmas everybody. Looking forward to getting some more miles on the old girl next year.

I was going to use the old drill bit and wood screw method. I have got some seal picks to fall back on for plan B.

Cheers Stig. I’ve just changed the oil and filter this week, so I was hoping I wasn’t needing to drain it out again to do the seal. When you did them, did they come out easy enough?

I've noticed there's a slight leak coming from the gear lever seal. I'm going to fit a new seal when it arrives. What I need to know is do I have to drain the engine oil before getting the old one out? If I don't drain the oil, could I get away with leaning the bike over to the right? I've watched ...

Welcome back buddy.

It’s all going in the right direction. Keep up with the good work.

Here we go again. I've started so I'll finish.

Here we go again. I've started, so I'll finish.

It was a good day yesterday. I didn’t leave home till 11am, because I waited for the temperature to warm up a bit before I set off. It was a lot warmer inland at Northallerton etc. when I got to Whitby there was beautiful blue sky, but the coolness made your nose run a bit. 🤧

Looking forward to ...

Welcome home Chris. It’s good to have you back on here. I must be honest, I’ve been stalking you, and watching your antics (not all of them cough, cough) in Thailand. You’re in my friends list, so it’s been good to see how things are over in Thailand. Have you injuries healed up after your highsider ...

I set off for a ride out this afternoon to Thirsk, Northallerton, Stokesley, Yarm and then Whitby. It was a bit cool first thing, but it got warmer as the day progressed. After my coffee at clara's I set off for home and like I always do on that route, I called in at the Seaways cafe. I bumped into ...
