Pulled the forks and yolks out, and cleaned and polished some Spondon bits all ready for the 'Blade forks to go in this weekend.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
i managed to get hold of a scruffy set of helibars recently off a st1100 pan, and after a bit of chopping and changing i have a set of bars which should give a fair bit of adjustment. the bike has straight bars fitted but my 60 year old hip is still protesting as its more comfortable to lean forward, but clip ons are just a bit too low

Got bored and spent money changing a perfectly good part for another perfectly good part, as my dear wife points out...
I usually go for Titax but liked the dual colour silver and black finish.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

It's spent the last 10 years under a tarp just making it feel at home ...As I slowly dismember it...

Oh & the last person to stick their nose in...is buried under shed....

Wasted petrol for 100 miles .... Not on the storm, I don't want it getting dirty like Macs one, used the KTM as it was an adventure day

Bit rainy, but that helps getting the salt off the roads, be rude not to take the XSR out after cleaning/lubing the chain

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Not a lot, Cleaned & lubed the chain on Custurd, adjustment not required this week.
Warmed it up & dropped the oil... I'll let it drip over night & fresh oil & filtter tomorrow...
