Done to, not done on

done on.........on a privately hired piece of road that no one will ever find out about...

why is this board the wrong way round.... shouldn't the newest be at the front

Made and fitted the head light relay loom and fitted a 100/90 bulb
Striped and cleaned my spare carbs .

Went to do a bit of prep for tomorrows run to Brands Hatch.

Lube chain check tension wipe the flies off that sort of thing.

Found that the left hand link pipe had come loose & was free of the header!

The clamp nut was tight so must of knocked it off somehow when moving it about. Anyway refitted it tightened up the clamp & the bolt thread stripped! DOH!


Had some spare clamps in stock so changed the nut & bolt over seems ok now.

Good job I checked it out today & didn't find it like that in the morning!

All I've done is ridden it round the block a few times, but that was officially very naughty, but justifiable because how else am I supposed to do an pre-MOT test and check my new visor didn't whistle, and, ummm, oh f*ck it, it was sunny!

I do feel guilty... honest

Had another go at putting it back together, just the LHS fairing to go, then off to Art Attack

went out for a ride to visit some friends, almost got knocked off by white van man who decided to pull over to my lane (outside lane on a duel carriageway) without checking his mirrors whilst i was level with his drivers door
i must have a target on my back, its not as if you can't hear my bike or as if i'm tiny and can't be seen easily, tbh it shock me up it was that close, i have the upmost respect for motorbike couriers riding in central london, these idiots behind the wheel just don't look anymore
anyway the rest of the ride was ok considring it was in the london suburbs and i still love the sound of my exhausts when i go thru a tunnel
ride safe everyone

Didn't you say the case against the guy that knocked you off before is still in progress? Did you get a look at the driver? There isn't a hit out on you amongst WVM's is there? Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean their not out to get you...
Have a good holiday mate.

Went for a ride out with a mate on his r6 he couldnt keep up ,and thanks BSM first time out with that long stack Im not just saying it I can feel the diffrence straight away ,just off a bit of plastic great cheap mod

cheers kev, does anyone have a contact in the white van man mafia??????????
if so please tell them i'm one of the good guys. and i don't wish to sleep with the fish's just yet

i got some new style carbon wrap, better quality than the last lot, and this stuff is colour changing depending on the light, i know it looks like pink
