Howdy James, Bearings just arrived in the big A-T-L via post. Bearings are great and its good to Obtain some Unobtainium. That's slick service and went through customs without opening. 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

Bearing arrived by "Royal Mail" in California today. I am hopeful that this will help appease my bikes cannibalistic tendencies.
All hail James!
All hail James!
Thank you, Don
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.

"What they do have is an implacable, unrelenting presence and movement that bespeaks massive power lurking behind paint and chrome. They don't wail like a screeching ninja, the don't rumble like a harley. They just growl like a spactic, stressed out badger waiting to rip your face off and eat your soul." Trainzz~RIP~

I just received my bearing the other day, thanks again! How many are left?
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
