What did you do to your bike today?

[V650]

My Everyday View 

Overlooking Wicklow Bay and out across the Irish Sea

 

Just getting ready to head off for a Jolly to Hook Lighthouse about 150KM down the Coast 

Flask of Coffee and a sanwich made hopefully the weather stays nice expecting approx 22 C today

A 140KM jolly down south east coast 

Hook Lighthouse in Co Wexford is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world @ 850 years 

Lovely day for a spin

Put some air in the tyres and then took it for a "test ride" 

 

3 hours later I seem to have lost a little air again

 

Might need to check the tyres

Had lots of deliveries and then had some new Road 6's fitted. Deliiveries were discs, pads and a harris paddock stand

[Mick67]

Getting the bike ready for me hols, fitted a Puig screen and checked bike over, fluids levels, tight bolts etc. A few on the rack needed tweaking.

I'll send the wife out to do that in the morning, should keep her quiet for a while.

Took it for a ride to Eastbourne to start the scrub in process... Must try harder

 

[V650]

Would not try too hard though  gently does it 

[Fish]

Yeah I'm no hero by a long way. to get much further I'd want to be on a track.

 

Todays achievement was to replace the front discs n pads.

Quick circuit of the TT Course,  then a run up here:

Back to the pub to watch the game.

[onesea]

I didn't ride it, will find out how stupid that was at end of shift. 

Forecast says heavy rain after long dry spell for end of shift. 

A 30 minute ride turned into 45 minute drive, parking at work always challenging.

 

If it's not raining at end of shift I won't be happy...

[S-Westerly]

Rode it to two hospitals and gave myself a bit of a twitchy moment on a roundabout which I think had diesel on it.

Fitted new rear disc. Had an advisory last year disc was worn so EBC disc ordered. Fitting disc ‘bout 15 minutes. Un seizing the chain adjusters ‘bout hour and half . Refitting wheel was fun, why do Suzuki have so many loose bits to line up for the axel to go through. Got it all finished just before the rain arrived.

My GPX was much easier.

Its a juggling act to get it all in there and lined up and holding it all with 3 hands while you put the spindle through with the forth isn't it........
