I’llbe doing this one mate, and back down the west coast and over to the Isle of Lewis on the way back
Wow I thought i was dedicated going once lol. Had to get special permission from the family. Will be taking some waterproofs for sure.
always done big miles mate but after an accident in 2019 that very nearly had me beat, I’m making the most out of it and ticking them off the list. Yep, I would say waterproofs are first on the list lol
Glad your ok and able to ride again buddy. I'm hoping my comfort seat is going to make all the difference
Took my baby in for a service its been 2 years since it was last done, but in that time its only done 600 miles. This was before my ownership as only got it in Jan 21. Would have to be wet today but got a sweet courtesy bike!!
Got mine off her stands and she finally saw daylight after 6 months. She’ll be taxed and out next month fingers crossed. Hoping to do som big miles this year, well, top last years mileage of 730 at least
Managed to fit in some work on track bike build today... GP Shift pattern mod with shaft support bracket, Short levers fitted, cleaned and tidied the battery connectors with shrink wrap insulation (no pic). Had a problem on the weekend as bike refused to run. Realised I couldn't hear the fuel pump pressurising the rails. Turned out to be corroded connectors in the unsealed(?!!) socket over the radiator. Tracked down some like for like replacements (HM090) should arrive for this weekend. Nearly there... started looking at trackday availability April/May
Well rather than pay £250 to a dealer for what is essentially an oil change for the 1st service, I have ordered the parts myself and will carry out the service at the weekend. Total cost to me £68.79
Booked an MOT for tomorrow at half 8 in the morning. Bike had no belly pan on, needed the number plate swapping and had no idea where the big one was so had to go sort that tonight. Just checked the weather and it's the one morning its pissing down
Mine went through with an 8x6 (Standard Font) plate fitted a couple of weeks ago as for the weather, you'll feel better when it passes
mine passed today, great weather for a blast afterwards although reckon the big number plate held me back a bit, have swapped back to small now
Got a pass Felt great to be back on it even though it was a bit wet. Got an advisory and not for the exhaust this time. Rear Lower Suspension pin, bush or joint worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i)) What do I need to do to sort that? They never mentioned it to me just said it passed but I'd checked online to compare my mileage from last MOT and noticed it.

RR7 MOT this morning , passed . Need to wash it now , council feckin salted last night for some reason
Old magotty connectors All replaced Persuaded into life and runs nicely... battery is on its last legs though. New one ordered... Started dressing it
Solved my floppy footpeg with a new spring and split pin from Fowler’s. Took all of 2 minutes but dragged it out for 10 so I could grab some R+R in the garage. She’s getting taxed next week and (fingers crossed) out out on Saturday.
