BTW, I did cross the river on A15 a couple of times going out to Withernsea and up to Scarborough. Your Castle from 1150 AD is off the charts scenic on a blue sky day. Moors and Dales sure have some great roads. Perfect roads for that FJR1300 you showed us. Nice mods and you will have fun with that bike. Thanks again for making the bearings available to us.

    Nice one Jeff. I'm glad it arrived OK. Yes, the abbey gatehouse is a lovely place! And you're right, there's some nice biking round here

      James,

      Thanks much for the bearings and quick shipping. I really appreciate your legwork on getting these made. Whoever doesn't get a spare or two will regret it someday, I think.

              Bearing arrived by "Royal Mail" in California today. I am hopeful that this will help appease my bikes cannibalistic tendencies.

              All hail James!

                Excellent! Your praise and worship of me (and Royal Mail) is duly noted and appreciated!

                Keep the bearing greased and maintained.... easy to do when you take the wheel off for a tyre change (or even a tire change..).

                  The coolest part of getting the bearings from James was the totally awesome "Royal Mail" stamp on the package. I've never had the privilege of receiving Royal Mail before. The British just have more style. I dig it.

                    Nothing says American style more than a trip to Walmart on a Saturday night. Anything anywhere has more style.

                                Great! Another successful 'hit' across the pond. Excluding my usual personal stash, there are about 6 left actually. Last time, I took pity on desperate XSives and sold my own spares too! Probably the same this time, I bet. I hate to see someone stuck
