Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
been out for a Ride with my mate on His Storm, it was great to get out. My handling after the fettling and putting back as advised for my weight seems ok at the moment. The new tyre is well and truly scrubbed in. It seems a little stiff at the moment but it does seem to return far better.
My mate on his Storm thinks is a tad soft but didn't want to adjust out on the road!!!.

Fitted Mac's glorious oil lines, only lost a little bit of oil. Polished it, left the belly pan off for painting by VTR Phoenix and didn't thrash it. Played with the fuel screws for the 75273rd time. Cleaned everything. Contented!

Removed the fairings, replaced all the little lights in the dash with some of these fancy canbus led items, blimey what an improvement!! To be fair the only light working before was the speedo Can't wait for a night ride to see the illumination!
Gave her a blooming good wash, removed tatty tank pad & knee grips in anticipation of receiving a nice shiny new IOM TT tank pad and better looking knee grips.
Also fitted my new oem SP1 lever kindly sold to me by Robbo10, what a difference!! My SP1 brake setup is FLIPPIN' FANTASTIC NOW!!
Just need me some tyres & a general service... oh and I need some help with my fuel mixture screws and carb balance... :-/

Visited tony.mon for valve clearance, carb balance and full service. He certainly knows his stuff, and did well to put up with my continuous questions! Top service!!

Do the Goldfrens have a habbit of grinding the discs down quickly? I'm sure I heard that from a couple places.
