Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
I actually got out for a ride today and again grinned from ear to ear with the torque and the soundtrack 

Two bikes, still only four cylinders!

Used and abused then put back in the garage.

Spent some time in the MacCave a fettlin 'Ole Red.
Finally got round to sorting out the weep on the rear CCT, still had some old gasket stuck on the face, got that off & reassembled with gasket goo.
Fitted me Blackbird side stand with the hand crafted extended foot prong.
Gave it a bit of a clean in all those hard to get to areas when it was in bits.
Fitted the HRC throttle tube & junked the return cable.
Boxed it all back up & treated it to a wipe & polish.

I like the modded side stand. I need to fo something about mine, it's a pain in the butt as I can just about get my heel on it and when it's wet it's even worse. Takes my about half dozen times to get it down.

this setup makes the throttle a lot lighter and it snaps back faster .
you do need to be careful over bumps as it can lead to looking at the sky .
