  1. Without the dog chite then, takes it down a notch I reckon.
     
  2. Wired up the billet starter switch for my trackbike. Not tested in anger (only on a multimeter) as no battery yet...

  5. Good to see back on the road. :upyeah:
    Yours looks cleaner than mine/never had a red one. Also storage must be nice and dry considering time since you last used (from memory).
    Just checked the belts and idler/tensioners on mine. Two lugs broken off c/fibre front cover which is pretty common so not bothered.

  12. After work yesterday I took the wheels off and up to Bike Tyres Leeds to have the balance checked after the Autobahn wobbles and vibes.
    Front was out by 20g
    Rear by 30g
    Hmmmm methinks bigmoto didn't bother to balance those when they fitted them before I took delivery.

    Sorted for a tenner.

    Today's bike doings include a ride over to bigmoto in Macclesfield for a little chat, not about the tyre balance situation but about the fine the DVLA are threatening me with because they didn't do the paperwork on my trade-in and I foolishly gave them the entire logbook, the DVLA think it's still mine and uninsured... They also sold me a warranty with the Enduro and never provided the paperwork so I had to pay for a new fuel sender myself.
    So yeah, don't buy from those morons.

    On the way home I might drop in here for a tasty burger.
