What have you done with your bike/s today?

^^^ One can do quite some tweaks in the main search page, see picture.

The " around "ball bearing" narrows down search to only look for occurences of that exact combination of words (phrase).

Test, do a search with ball bearing, then "ball bearing", and see the resulting differences.

btw, see https://www.a7a10.net/forum/index.php?topic=1352.msg9632#msg9632

What I have done with my bike today is:
Ride a circuitous route around the UK Peak District. The scenery here is superb. The roads are superb. The motorcycles in the BSAOC pelaton were superb. Even the weather was kind to us. We stopped for lunch at a really good cafe where they made their own scrummy cakes. I am now back in my accommodation having had a steaming hot shower.

That must have been a very nice ride. By the way, your tent looks very comfortable.

As previously mentionned, the problem with the "what have you done" topic is some (many, many) tech problems\solutions threads belonging in other boards are getting buried and disapearing among 1000's of unrelated posts, missing specific title, difficult to find or follow.

Please post in the tech boards for any & all specific tech cases.

Thanks

This is one of my favourite routes GB.  I know the tea rooms you mention.  Usually, because I'm near Wakefield, I go through Barnsley, Penistone, Holmfirth and across the top to Woodhead Pass, through Glossop onto the Snake Road (A58) to Ladybower then up Mortimer Road back to Penistone and home.  Total trip is around 96m and is fabulous.

Took the A out for a quick blast after a 20 day lay off! Needed to feel them positive vibes after taking my other bike to Spain recently. Felt good to be on a real bike that is exciting and edgy at legalish speeds. Note to self, i gonna have to buy another one so i take it off the road proper and sort out the handling! Was just 30 miles but so different from a modern.

G'day Fellas.
Well I decided to fix the primary leak on the HD. On the 280Km ride on the w/end she lost 1.1 liters  (holds 1.4).
I never want to hear complaints about working on our A's. To do the seal on an A (s/a) may take an hour or two and back on the road. It has taken me SIX hours just to get to it  . After taking out the clutch, chain & engine sprocket to get to the inner primary cover and removing the screws there was two bolts hidden behind. To get to those bolts I had to remove the seat, battery, rear guard complete with lights, lower guard, rear exhaust, starter solenoid, tool box, oil tank and most of the electrics 
Be a few days till parts arrive so have time to cool down!
Cheers

“ It has taken me SIX hours just to get to it”

I’ve seen/suffered similar on newer cars.  Seems designing for maintainability (using a standard tool kit) is becoming a lost art.  Or is it just that CAD helps to pack more stuff into a space that really shouldn’t be quite so densely utilized.

G'day Fellas.
Finally got the inner primary off with a lot of swearing and cursing. Last job was to remove the inner ace off the mainshaft up against the sprocket nut. I bought an extra small bearing separator and had to skim 1.5mm off the bolt heads and nuts to fit it in. Once in position I used the extension holes to use bolts against the sprocket to jack the race off.
Parts should arrive today so the task of reassembly over the weekend.

Sold it, got paid, and delivered it to it's new owner. Never want to see it again but I likely will given that the new owner is local..
{Not the A7, I hasten to add}

Musky,

Which model BSA is that?

Whoever designed that mechanical pig's ear should have it posted from the rear.
