Not really presents but over the last few days I've picked up some bargains on ebay for my FJR1300. Got a rear suspension linkage with all bearings - didn't need it but a great spare part to have. Also got a pair of wheels with good discs, tyres, ABS rings. Again not essential but will save me from having to needlessly change part worn tyres before a big trip
Got bikers Britain motorcycle routes book am looking forward to trying some of the routes out on the Bonnie.
Used the money I got to subsidise a new Leo Vince exhaust for the Tiger (see Tiger 800 section) and a new black grab rail for the Bonneville to replace the chrome grab rail and rack.
I got a zippy with a triumph on it! Oh and a set of bks Gemini textiles. Bloody good btw. Don't feel the cold @70 when it's 1 degree outside
Thanks for the offer but I don't need any of these bits. Got a couple of different screens, spare levers and not a great fan of huggers.
I placed a deposit on a new Thruxton RS on the 17.12.20 and today Mrs Flea got me; She did also point out that I have a real motorcycle that needs putting together and that I exceeded our agreed £50 present budget by £11,500. Waspy!
Some not all, she claimed to have gotten the sweatshirts buy two get one free. I bought the neck gaiter and showed her one of the shirts on Amazon. She always finds me something really cool like the sign.
My fabulous wife got me a 46mm socket and an 18” long, 1/2” drive breaker bar to go with it. Yeah, it may sound silly but when your wife hears you say that’s what you want, and goes out to the tool store to get you those things, well, I was touched. She’s an actor so tools are NOT in her wheelhouse. Very nice quality kit, too. I wouldn’t have bought stuff that good . Maybe I should send her to get tools more often!
