Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
now secretly i have saved a few Bob, to buy something purely to have a quick odd 80 mile blast on, then get on the CBF for serious miles etc, should i buy another Storm ? i know my red one was a stunner and i aint got that much but its like a small furnace in my pocket!!!
I was offered a Suzi 600 but was thinking about a Storm again!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
a couple of days ago, i fitted a pair of led brake bulbs, they really brighten up the rear lights...
also fitted some ti front caliper mounting bolts, checked the tyre pressures and fired it up for a few minutes, i might try and go for a ride over xmas, but only on a sunny day...

Stripped her down to check the tension of the cam chains.
Manuals have been in for about 4 years and I have noticed a rattle on deacelleration lately.
Ready to take valve covers off.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Stripped & cleaned a rear calliper.
Got a Fart Book Stormer coming over tomorrow to do his brakes for him. New lines & pads, swap the callipers to save cleaning his on the day.
His current fluid is a dark brown colour & is still on original lines.
Be doing the clutch fluid as well...
