(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

How on earth did you get them this clean? Very impressive sir

 

Errr. I took the standard ones off and fitted a new set. Simples.

 

Haha I thought they looked a bit clean even for harpic haha !!

 

Track bike build.

 

Cool, did you get the seat sorted out?

 

Had a moment of weakness.

Actually 2 moments, got a price on a new Monster for Carole as well. Andy

 

A carbon fibre crud catcher and a new bike for Carol, and it’s not even the weekend!
Crack on Andy!

 

Popped out to the body shop that's sorting my fairing out.
When I dropped them off last week I suggested they be ready for February, he said not enough time so we agreed march.
Today's discussion was about the shape of the number panel on the tail unit but he's already done the side panels. If I wasn't waiting for some Agip decals they'd have been finished by now..
It was fun plotting out the shape of the number board and looking at the front fairing design..
And it seems like it's going to be done sooner rather than later...
Just need to hurry up the exhaust brackets now!!

 

Deposit paid on a new Monster for an April build. Andy

 

Spend their inheritance before they can i say.

 

While my wife was at work, took the opportunity to use the oven to heat up an rvf400 hub and fit new hearings.

 

Some time back now, my wife walked in from work early and caught me with my Vello head in the oven and my valve guides in the freezer
But worse was, when I forgot I had a tin of Lynklife on the boil in the kitchen. I thought something was up when I couldn’t see into the kitchen through the window from outside.

 

Changed the front sprocket on the Versys 1000, 16t to gear up.
Removed 7 years worth of chain lube and gunge from inside the sprocket cover, this took longer than the sprocket change.
Just waiting for a bit of rain to clear the salt off the road, then out for a run.

 

Viewing the front mudguards for the 900ss this morning and i just can't decide which one's the better bet as both really need work, one has tiny bit missing on the front edge, but both could do with a new top coat.
I bought the intact one from an ebayer who'd a 888sp5 sitting in their ownership and paid too much money just to see that bike, lol

 

OMG XH558, I hope you don't mind me saying, but that photo of how you 'lovingly store/display/keep' your bike bits and pieces, is SOOOOOOO OCD!
Wow

 

I have never been married and have no children so I only have myself (and Carole) to spend it on. Which I do, often Andy
