I went out for a 40mile cycle last night in straight from work, it included 3000ft of climbing.......... now that was hot & sweaty 8O
The V-Strom said there was an air temp of 37C on my ride yesterday, the screen is also so good I got no cooling air. I know what hot is :(

Went to change the rear pads thinking to myself "this will be a quick and easy job" - How wrong was I !!!?!?

A previous attempt by a previous owner had surely rounded off the rear caliper bolt!! :(

Tried to put the bike back together...... Swapped in the new carb isolators and then one of the band clamps decided it no longer liked me and snapped in half...... :Ball Kick:

So now we sit and wait until the new ones arrive in the mail....... really sucks when the bike is your only transportation.....

Though as a consolation prize, my new Celestion G12M Creamback is showing up today so my Marshall will really start to sound good and I can take out a bit of frustration...... :angel: :lol:
