Fitted a DB killer today. Bike runs better. More low down. Hmmmm

Also fitted riser blocks on the bars, much better for me old wrists. And got a cable lube tool and did my clutch cable, shit its heaps lighter to use.

Doing a 700k ride on Sunday.

Yes, but my exhaust is now attached to my stock ones. But we will see what I think of its position after 700ks tomorrow.

Have new mods planned.

Who's bright idea was that? Doesn't your foot get buzzed something fierce?

I made mine lighter yesterday. I rode it thus reducing rubber and fuel weight. I did not notice the difference though .......

My new seat cover arrived from Poland last week, alas it appears the sewing machine ran out of thread on one of the seams ......

A e-mail to the seller with photos very quickly sorted it out and a new one is one it's way already. Provided it arrives (and is OK) that's a good Ebay seller story.

The seller wanted a photo of the back of the cover as it has writing on it denoting who made it and presumably who quality checked it - he confirmed the latter was missed off in this instance. It does concern me that I may have either had some poor Polish person fired or even shot for f-ing up the first effort!

I'm also going to throw on the new pair of T30's sitting in my shed. The Conti RA2's are near the last 1000 and starting to handle oddly - the rear has squared off a bit and the front triangle up on the edge sections. You can feel the 'roll' over the back and then the dive in the front!!!!!!

Buy some lighter rims A,yea there expensive but if you buy them overseas at a decent price you can flick therm off later here and come out even.Got those Carrozzerias for about $1500 cheaper than i could have bought them here.

She did, she had a wee off and it will be a while before she can ride again if ever.

Fixed a bad fuse connection that kept shutting down my hot grips. And have run my Scott oiler so it goes on the front sprocket.

No reason as to why you can't take her as a pillion at some stage though?

If she can get on the back of a bike then she would be able to ride. Injuries at the moment dont allow that. We cant have a fall or sharp movement of any kind until all her fractures knit. That could be 5 years.
