What have you done for your bike this weekend?

[riffer]

Well, the weather's been shit.

So nothing for it but to bugger around in teh gargre.

The RF got a full front-end strip today, and now has nice new oil in the forks.

Out with the dark grey sludge (different amounts in each fork too), and in with the lovely straw coloured stuff.

What's everyone else been doing on their bikes this horrid rainy weekend?

Mate!
Got out on the Vic Club members track day yesterday. Brilliant weather, 50 bikes max, and as much track time as you could want. Naturally I rode like shit, but I have a plan for changing that. No doubt, I have the rest of my life to live down being passed by Jarrod Wintle on his Harley. What can I say? I was trying to text my wife at the time. Had some good advice to help with bike set-up and got to take Delboy's R6 for a spin. Mmmm, very nice.
The weather was so shite today that we had to call off the public open day. Water was flowing accross the track in several places and it didn't look like it was going to clear up. Moral of the story is join the Vic Club. It's worth it just for the free annual track day.

I rode it to work and back on Saturday...

If it wants any more than that then it's gonna have to start putting out.

400 + km ride on the GB on Saturday- http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/sh...017#post797017. Cleaned out the shed a bit yesterday so I have a bit more room to swing the cat. Proud of myself I was for letting a whole rubbish bag of crap go. Kicked the 550f over-yip it starts, as usual, as it has done for the last 20 years. Gave the 750fc spares bike crank a turn over. Found a brake hose off the 250T I wrecked a while back in one of my bit n peices drawers. I'll replace the cx's brake line with it as it's shorter and isn't starting to crack and will better suit the lower bars I've fitted.

Pissing down outside at the mo and have put the rubbish/recycling out. Was tempted to inspect the bags to retrieve some of the "treasures" , but boys in the big truck have been so bye bye little ones

fitted new seat
fitted a new r1 throttle tube to give me a 1/4 throttle, and then replaced the left hand grip to match the right hand r1 one grip.

[What?]

Fitted new Stebel Magnum horn (from Nippy Normans - highly recommended) to the BMW on Sat. Nice and loud!
Might go and start the Elsinore up today. Just in case the neighbours need upsetting...

[Titanium]

Washed, waxed, tar and rubber removed from the rims and fixed the rattle of the hugger hitting the torque arm.

[scumdog]

Took the rear wheel off the T-Sport as the factory fitted tyre showed perish marks in two places (H-D Dunlop), as the bike only has 7,000km and is a 2000 model I suspect it has sat for months with a flat tyre or something, bastard still had about %80+ tread left, argh!.

And I had to take the rear muffler off before I could get the axle-bolt out, the bloody inconvenience of it all!

Will shoot down to bike shop and get the new tyre fitted, my old favourite, a Conti Milestone.

The clutch slave cylinder has been leaking. I've had the parts for a while. The K3 model SV has a design fault where crap from the front sprocket makes it way down the side of the piston and onto the seal. So as the clutch goes in and out it roots it. The K4 and later model SVs have an extra rubber diaphram (sp?) that stops this and fits onto the K3.

Well the cylinder was badly worn so I got some really fine emery paper and cleaned that up then some silvo polish. Gave it a bloody good clean, fitted the new seal and diaphram and put all back together.

Then I went back to domestic duties after taking the kids for rides up and down the driveway.

I fitted my Two Brothers carbon can on saturday, big job on an underseat, And spent all day yesterday watching the street racing.
The days heating up already so I feel a spin up to Arthers pass could be in order.

I had a pair of Pilot Powers fitted Saturday. Spent some of Saturday afternoon scrubbing them in and yesterday went down SH22. Some rain so bike got a clean when I got home!

Put up a sign saying "Turn off H.A.R.D" where I keep my helmet!! ( and it works! )

Very happy with the Pilot Powers so far. I liked the BT014s but the PPs tip in even better and seem to be more composed over bumps.... even did some well known bumps a few times just to be sure!. Feel very confident leaning. Hopefully they don't shred at the track!!
