Had enough of my dodgy battery, it proper let me down and we had to bump it the other day to make a ferry. Fitted a Motobatt, starts like a 4 now

Kicked the tyres, flicked the chain, checked the oil...

Fitted Carbon engine covers.

Loaded it up ready for tomorrow morn's jaunt to Devon...

Bugger VTR failed its MOT today - Worn front wheel bearings and small nail in rear tyre. So as Tony say's "upgrade opportunity" to get the wheels powder-coated while it's all apart again in the two-week's to get it all done before the retest.

They are just parts bikes banished to the naughty corner. Will strip them once new garage is up.

Is that a fuzzy-elbow olde-farty velour/crushed velvet seat cover?

Are them damn haemorrhoids acting up again?

And where them carbon engine covers? All I see is a strip of duct tape?

And is it just the light, or is that newer firestorm a deeper red? Is it still R157?

Questions, questions?

similar to macster, checked the bike over, refitted the yellow front mudguard, chain lubed all ready for the morning....

Alcantara Dave not crushed vevet... Self re-padded with a bit of memory foam, its not the best looking job but is a hell of a lot more comfy than the std seat.

Don't suffer with farmers.

Duct tape is just to hold them on whilst the silicone cures.

Answers, answers ?
