Did my first bit of decorative work on the BMW..



Broke the radial head (?) in my right elbow, currently sat at home feeling sorry for myself with a sling

Only the rear right indicator actually broke though! Bike is a ferking tank

Shite mate GWS and that could have been way worse bike damage wise

It's an improvement- it's lighter now.
Now you can start modifying it.....Game on

And although you only have the one hand working, don't waste those weeks off work- get ordering.....there's a cafe racer in there if you try hard enough!

You'll still be at Yorkshire, though, right?

Can't ride for at least 4 weeks, I rode 30 miles home afterwards and I can't describe the pain

Cafe racer? I ain't no hipster

You're only the shades, beard and brown cowboy boots away, don't knock it* 'til you've tried it.


When you've had the piss taken out of you by your former friends, been battered senseless by a braindead moron because you "look stupid", had a girl you fancied laugh and point then walk away still laughing, and have your workmates put a picture of you dressed like that on the canteen wall, and your dad tell people he doesn't know you, you're only a lodger in his house, and your mum tells the neighbour it's just a phase.

Then you can knock it.

LoL.
When's the phase going to end Tony[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]

Virt You plonker. I told you high heals and a hand bag wasn't proper attire for on a bike. Looks like you found out the hard way and got trampled in a sale [WINKING FACE]

Hope you're OK mate.
We use BM's on the blood runs, like bloody tractors

Took the storm for its 1st ride after having the bar conversion and braided lines fitted,came home grinning like a Cheshire cat,best mod on the bike so far I'm loving it

Replaced light bulb with Cyclops 3800 Lumens H4 LED replacement kit, and took it for a ride to start the HDJ carb fine-tuning..... so far so good...

Interested to know how the Cyclops performs. One weakness of the Storm is the headlight.

Decided to put the rider TRX back together, I'll pull the engine out of the spare bike if it ever blows up. Refitted the R6 shock, put the back wheel in and adjusted the chain then pulled the rear mastercylinder apart and serviced it then bled the rear brake and took it for a blast - lovely jubbly!

Fitted a Pyramid plastic undertray with built-in lights and indicators onto the SP2.
It's better, but I still need the Duckhunter Composites carbon one from Canada.
One day....

No pix; if you want to see it come to Yorkshire next weekend.
I'll be in the Yorkie Bar, but the bike'll be outside.

I had this carbon undertray and lights, I rather liked them.....

Beautiful ride around Peak District, popping in to Ladybower Reservoir (they have toilets!) for coffee & chocolate stop.



It was only when I got home for the ritualistic bike washing that I noticed the lefthand silencer had rotated round! (probably after last weeks 400 mile trip. Duly fixed)

Got to think where to go tomorrow....
