Good day at the office. Fitted the Domino to the RSV4....so not only is it a better product that the OEM....obviously its a quick action throttle. It actually fits better, the throttle cables are spaced apart a bit more than the oem so rather than exiting from the top it can be turned 45deg and exit to the side meaning for the first time when on full left lock the right angled part of the throttle cable doesnt hit the fairing. And as before got the cabling just right so theres no play in the throttle. Not had the chance to test ride yet. At the same time - found that the reg/rec cabling was quite literally fried, how it got me back from the TT ive no idea. (and this is harking back to the lad with the Panigale/Engine fucked issue). I got to strip all the cabling, cut it back..its always been too long, always so i was kinda looking for an excuse to cut it back. I used a generic Honda cable from the 400/4 build to rebuild the wiring...In the meantime i might try to find the correct plugs but not worried if i cant. All in all a thoroughly satisfying day... Also fixed the central running light on the zed....by buying a new one so a five minute job on that front... Had a fucked rear nut on the sxv which had threaded so drilled that out and replaced with a Ti jobbie.
Had a ride up to the Nook at Brampton for brekkie, absolutely heaving with bikes because of the good weather, but by far the most interesting bike there was this thing - It’s based on a K100 BMW , really nice job and it just looked cooler than penguin- piss !
That is nice, but it appears it is not as uncommon as you might think; having owned both a K100 & a K75, Christ only knows what possesses anyone to do this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/32603040...IgkLW1YPmgtsxJdbkaPNxuhQ==|tkp:Bk9SR76nqdqSZg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/13614931...h8vyy3VjSBiDCLVNlVVyH+Rc8J|tkp:Bk9SR8zmgtqSZg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25703531...6zFI097PjvLtysFb6/ctyEAw==|tkp:Bk9SR_7Xl9qSZg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/31715482...m3xVIn6BoKheNUnvgr0Wnyd8Wb|tkp:Bk9SR76nqdqSZg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19757128...koh0vSpOA7QDNme9tTZXytNA==|tkp:Bk9SR76nqdqSZg And there are plenty more.
The news reports are apparently incorrect. Three were riding with the guy that died and were taken in for questioning but were not arrested. Two had passed the area before the accident had happened, and the third was a minute or so behind the accident so didn't see it happen. But allegedly CCTV shows the two pedestrians had come out of a pub and were staggering all over before stepping out in to the road. It seems it was a tragic accident.
Just catching up after Thruxton, sorry to read this Terry. My condolences to his family and his friends. Andy
Been walking the coastal path in North Devon all day. My wife went for a swim and a seal popped up next to her and followed her for a while.
Been polishing my air rifle, Squirrels have virtually stripped the Cob nut tree of it's bounty. Actions have consequences.......
Fired up the red one and pointed it towards wales stopped off at the Old Stores Motorbike Cafe in Mold for a coffee. M56 was a car park in places but the roads off the motorway were fabulous. Lots of empty twisties to thrown the bike into.
I was collared into going for a meal at The Farmers Dog and it was just as I had predicted, a theme park with cold canteen food.
