Whats The Last Thing You Bought?

Just had to do it the agv at this price no brainer plus the colours will go with the firestorm being in a Rossi colour way
The Frank Thomas it's a two way purchase firstly the colour and style is ideal for the Thunderbird plus it will look the part when I hopefully get the bike to where I'm happy with it and would like to do the distinguished gentleman run well those are my excuses and I'm sticking by them

 

Hi Wessa

I managed to get this from a tool seller at the auto jumble section of a bike show, there will probably be some at the Stafford show this weekend but this looks to be the same on good old fleabay

Like the Frank Thomas, but not in green. I have a matt black HD open face, covered the HD with Triumph decals, looks ok.
Fancy the Shoei J cruise in white, megabucks new, bide my time. Who is organising The DGR ? Used to be Woods.

 

Great idea! Ordered one from your link @Samsgrandad cheers

 

Thanks, just ordered. I have a telescopic dental mirror.
Handy bit of kit, sadly, not illuminated.

 

Not sure on the organisers yet but there is sure to be a dealer not to far away that will be running an event

 

Bill Smith Chester ???

 

Hopefully, I'll contact them soon to see if they will be running an event

 

Ditto

 

I swore I'd never wear a flip front modular helmet and now I own two and that's pretty much all I wear. I have two regular full-face helmets, a Bell and an Arai, and I find that I never seem to reach for those when heading out for a ride. For me the modulars are easier to put on and take off, and it's nice to be able to flip up the chin bar if I need to briefly speak to someone or just need a bit more air at a stoplight. My flip fronts are both Shoei Neotec 2's--one is black and the other white. I bought both on sale when the Neotec 3 came out. Oh, I also love the drop down visor in the Neotec 2. It's a godsend in our blazingly bright sun here in Arizona.

 

Thanks for that, very useful.

 

Not particularly bike related, unless you own a Harley, just bought one of these for working on the SUV.

Couldn't gel with the purple Bonnie
865, part exed it for this.......

 

Very nice! Lovely colours.

 

So do what I do, and the same with any chain adjustments etc.
Set it up to the correct level/setting, using x2 people if need be, whilst it is stood on the level workshop floor.

Once satisfied, then place the bike on a paddock stand.

Now repeat the same checks and note the difference.
For example, my 765 oil level when correct, reads around 1/3 rd of the window covered on a paddock stand when the actual level is near maximum (tilted forward so reading lower).
The bike lives permanently in the workshop on a rear paddock stand, so a quick look around, oil, coolant and chain check, takes seconds.
