What did you do to your bike today???

There is always a way around it @raphael
The distilleries all offer little tester bottles so the designated driver can also enjoy the water of life when they get home, or back to their hotel

Visit as much as you can then enjoy them in the evenings

 

There you go mate...mine & Di's racefit back to back ....

 

Thanks @Lozzy, there are similar aren’t they? think it’s just about what they look like now

 

Your 765 has arrived Nigel ?
Was this while I was chasing ladybirds in Phuket ?

 

Whilst radiator and headers were off, changed the spark plugs on the '07 via the air intake route. Started on cylinder 1 and what a bitch! Rest were pretty straight forward once i'd got the hang of it (and a piece of rubber tube to get the plugs out!). Then put decat headers on, Chinese replacement rad (few subtle differences to standard which was a challenge!) and filled back up with coolant. Bike running again, touch wood no leaks! Sort out snapped off bolt in the crankcase housing tomorrow - fingers crossed it comes out with not too much hassle!

 

Finally getting the bike back together after several jobs. Nice warm garage with music n beers. Only pain in the rs was the excessive time it took to replace the fairing. Right hand side top section caused me to step back a few times before I finally got there.
Mates gsxr exhaust tomorrow and a new piston in a Ktm later this week. Always happy to help mates out.

 

Finally got the new chain guard kindly made by @mk3golfcab and some freshly machine polished titanium bolts fitted.(caliper mounting, mudguard,axle and pinch bolts)
Still so much to get as didn’t realise just how modified the last bike was compared to this bog standard bike

 

Finally the day has come to get my bike back from the damp, dusty and leaking garage that is the father in laws!!

Come now...... Let us take you away from this place, great things await you

 

Are you shoving it in a van.....roads are caked with salt

 

Took it for a ride

Blew the cobwebs away (making the most of the sunny weather today)

Lovely bike mate.

It's a 2006, registered 2008, last of the run came in black with black frame and swingarm, has just shy of 1800 miles on it. People often moan about it not being used.

 

Frig the moaners and their 'bikes are to be ridden' mantra.

Those of us who prefer to buy a low-mileage bike applaud you for not running it into the ground or thrashing the ass off it! Gotta sign off here or I'll be heading for my Rant Thread!!

 

Yep ownership is part of the pleasure, the rest comes from just looking at it.

 

Nigelb and MrB I feel a "Bromance" occurring.....things could get messy

 

So I take you are prepared with dew wipers and tissue's and plenty of cleaning agents

 

Nice ride out to Hunstanton yesterday. Nearly got wiped out by a pillock deciding to pull out and overtake a car when I was already overtaking him. He didnt look at all. Set me up for the rest of the ride
