Took her for a 70 mile ride up to my brothers where we (mainly him ! :lol: ) removed the fairing and changed the left hand switchgear that was playing up with the main beam switch , then " we" removed the rear wheel and fitted new chain and sprockets,rear pads and cush drive rubbers!
Froze my balls off on the way up there and more so on the way back but was well worth it! :D

glad you are OK VTRp, nasty reminder to all of us about the lack of grip on the roads at the moment.

abba stands are great, mine sings "winner takes it all" because my bike is yellow

You may bone your yahoo however you wish.

Fitted proper Honda anti-vibration bar end weights and wired up the grips. Looked outside at all the salt and muck and said, nah. Not the shiny Honda. So took the old MTS for a ride. Two miles from home, in the rain, it stalled and the battery could barely turn the thing over. Was fine when I started so it looks like it's not charging properly. F*cking Ducatis. Had a nice ride though....

Busy day today. Fitted a pair of high levels, painted the fork lowers, fitted some rim tape 8O and generally gave it some detailing love.
