What did you do to your bike today?

[Mawsley]

Realised that I needed a reflector for the MOT but I’d hacked the bottom of the mudguard off (to for the bike stand).

One bodge bracket later...

If you don't want that bit on permanently

 

That’s a problem for whoever buys it, it’s going when I collect the Tiger.

Not today, but last weekend. Checked and re-greased the final drive and changed the final drive oil. Now the Bavarian Mudslinger is ready for sale.

 

First attempt at adding a picture too

Looked at my hero blobs and reminisced at how cool I was last year.

Then remembered the Chinese radiator I fitted last year as well, which had almost immediately sprung a small leak and probably still needs seeing to.

Got back from work at a reasonable time so fitted my new Helibars to the Busa about 3/4 of an inch higher and a smidge back as at slow town speeds it was a little heavy on the wrists and being over 6ft didnt help.

Feels a lot better for such a small adjustment.

Cheers

Nipped over to Wheelhouse Tyres in Coleshill and had a set of Avon Cobra Chrome's fitted . Strict social distancing was observed at all times . The guys had reorganized the workshop so that it was a case of park the bike up to the shutter , shutter up , bike in , shutter down . When it was done, the bikes were being pushed out of the rear door then it was a case of one person at a time in reception , pay by card only through a hole in a big perspex screen and done . A few well thought out minor changes and everyone's a winner . Biker's World and CMC Motorcycles remain closed but Jo's Snacks is back up and running subject once again to responsible social distancing . I had a bacon and cheese batch with chilli sauce and while I was enjoying it I realized that this was the first piece of takeaway food I had eaten in eight weeks .

When the hammer strikes are so loud you can hear it echoing right the way down the street #justkawasakithings

Changed the oil, taxed it, rode it 50 miles and ate a packet of crisps. A lot of happy nodders out

No taking the seat off?

Of course, to get to the crisps!

[brad93]

Rode it, finally! Tested out my new Alpinestars leather jacket too. Very impressed!

I went out on the bike today for about an hour and a half, first time for about 9 weeks. I wasn't as rusty as I thought I would be.

[dynax]

I went out last night got as far as Holme on Spalding Moor and not wanting to be out too late headed home via Selby, roadworks and road closure on the A19 meant having to detour via Snaith and back towards Thorne, saw some foxes and a i think a Fallow deer, will check the video footage later as i am just tranferring it to the computer, i think my next night ride i will do a coastal one

My experience is you don't get rusty.

I think it's more a psychological thing (more so as you get older)........but once you pull away it's like it always was.

[dynax]

here is a screen grab from some video of last night this is the deer that was in the road, enlarged it best i could as quality not too brilliant, might have to invest in a decent camera with night vision as i am liking the late night rides

 

[S-Westerly]

Yesterday had a ride just for fun. Did a bit of the Cotswolds near me and did stretch the NSL a bit. Felt great. Helmet cam battery died before I'd gone a mile A46 South of Nailsworth to M4 junction is not a bad road at all. Back by way of Tetbury and Cirencester. Need to change my tyres soon, can't decide whether to stick with the Pirellis or try Metzlers. Decisions, decisions.
