Finished putting her back together - decided to replace throttle cables as ones on it crap. Giving blood on Monday, which is officially 'essential' - so will get to test everything out then! DS
With no riding I was surfing and found our TRMCC AGM video, so got a couple of choice pix of us in Nelson
Had to get out to get fags, so took the bike. Funnily enough I ended up at a petrol station 30 miles away to get them... was nice to be out. On my return I noticed a wet spot on the garage floor... bugger. Front left fork seal is buggered... will have to have that fixed...
I wasted $45 on 2 quick release bolts for the seat don't look any good they stick out past the seat should have bought the shorter ones
I think everyone knows this now but going to post it anyway. No need for and MOT after 30th of march (today) an automatic extention on all car and m/cycle mots for six months.
Thanks yes was aware, unfortunately I got it done a few days before the announcement was made! Never mind it needed one soon
It is Tuesday of week two of our lock down and today I have done nothing. No jobs around the house or garden, nothing with by bikes, just drinking tea wtf. I did however find a picture of my 1000 vstrom and it struct me that it was very similar to my tiger sport. What do you guys think?
Yep a quality piece of kit. I toured all over on the vstrom, including Norway back in the day. Having said that I do like the tiger triple which I think just edges it over the suzuki in the performance stakes... Both cracking bikes
Went to the shop in town today to book the bike in. He'll do both seals as a precaution and charges 30% less than the dealers. He's very happy with the business.
Fitted the screen today after adding a decal, managed to get one crease in it and scratched the paint, but it still looks pretty good and I can redo it in the summer if I can be arsed...
