Starting it! Which was significant as it has recently been in bits as I replaced fuel level sensor and also removed Scotoiler vacuum feed. And not only did it start again, but the fuel sensor is working - result DS
Put another 60 miles on the tiger today, thats 250 miles and half way to its first service... Bloody rained again, so that is three times I've had to wash the bike and I only got it on Saturday.
Got a nice surprise today, my thruxton is being delivered tomorrow. I'm only a little bit excited .....
Yep been out saturday, sunday and today and it has rained evrey day. Want to get the tiger to its first service before they start putting salt on the roads. I know it is tough, but somebody has to do it. As for the thruxton I spoke to the dealers today and they are ok if I don't run it in until the new year when the weather improves.
Trying to add a new thread to this section but only option is reply to thread so attaching it here to see what happens. Just got a R &G tail tidy for my Sprint ST 1050 and was wondering what the best way is to keep all the wires/connections water tight at the back of the number plate. On a previous bike got a small black electrical project box from Maplins (R.I.P.) but obviously can't get one now, just wondering what others have used.
You could use the heatshrink rubber sheathing, I’ve used it on the wiring behind my numberplate like this

Thanks but there is the large plastic joint box there on mine that has the wires for the indicators, brake and rear light. I'm not sure if heat shrink would cover that and I don' want to butcher it completely in case I put the original back on
Ah ok. You could try posting the question in the technical help or your bike specific thread as someone with that kid of knowledge would be more inclined to look there than here
Heat shink on individual wires, and/or self-amalgamating tape around a group of wires. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003A5MRF8
dropped the loan bike back at the dealers and brought my bonnie home, fecking cold for a c 140 mile round trip. stopped to take some pics on the mountain above my house, jeez even feckin colder...
Tis the season to be jolly , seen all the news , terrorist act's. Well I'm off in an hour with a mate , he ride's a HD I'm going on the 98 sprint for the Perth X'mas toy run ! Hopefully no act's and no accidents ! Been on many toy runs , and , unfortunately there have been bingles but no serious injuries , I'll cross fingers and toes and see how it goes this year ! I'm in bed on my tablet posting this , will take photos and post later today ! Usually above 400 bikes on the toy run. Cheers capt
Capt, looking forward to hearing about and seeing pics of your toy run! My riding buddies and I are doing one tomorrow and then another next weekend. The one tomorrow is a new toy run for Mr. Sandi and me so I'm not sure what the typical turnout is. I went to our local Target store earlier today to buy our donation toys. There are definitely some cool toys out there these days but I still have a soft spot for the stuffed animals. I have a theory that they all come alive at night when we're asleep and have tea parties and such.
Could be they have tea parties, or maybe they just stop lurking beneath your bed, come out and eat you alive as you try to hide under your duvet...
Awww, poor Cyborgbot, You too could become a "glass half full" kinda guy with just a little support from your friends.
Thanks. Being a glass half full person is something to which I aspire. It would be a marked improvement on my current demeanour and outlook.
