Fitted new horns... The OE one had stopped working (worn out maybe ), managed to find a pair in the scrappies, a 2008 Honda Civic Type S, two tones! Managed to get them both in the same space as the original, using the brackets that they came on (being Honda horns they were nice and compact)
Absolutely belting!

Fitted fresh rubber to the Ape. You know, a couple of those black round things. A set costs me £250 and I get 2500 miles out of them. 10p a mile just for rubber. Economical these bikes....

ps. Met a MY15 Tuono Factory rider and bike down the rubber shop. He just had a some round black things fitted. The bike was immaculate and had all of 10000 miles on it. 10k in three years? Do these people not use the things?

pps. Got a squidgy thing for my butt. Preparation for Wales.

ppps. Is this software some yankee sh1t? I did NOT say "butt"

Took the SP2 for an MOT and then went on a ride out. Due to the lack of use because of my bad neck and arm I keep thinking of maybe selling the SP2, but the minute I get out and ride it, it all goes out of the window and it all comes back to remind me how fantastic these things are.

Damn! Just when I thought another one might hit the market!!

You're right though; pretty easy to convince yourself to keep a brilliant bike!!

always good to see you Mr stubs
how did the fitting go, any oil lose when removing the old starter?

a pleasing two tanks used today on the blue girl while it was dry..

Just picked these up on the jauce.com site:



here is a pic mounted on a bike:


My hope is that they will allow me to use my hi-mount link pipes (which are longer than the low-mounts and thus give a boost to the lows and mids) while keeping the passenger pegs (so I can take my daughter out for rides)...

They look good Micky

I like the look of those.

So far today I've had the rear boot replaced with a Michelin 2ct to match the front. The old rear had a massive flat area so I'm hoping to feel a difference and may have to take the long way home .

You should find a big improvement on how the bike handles now, just remember to do the 100 miles first to bed it in,

Chris.

Fitted a set of Ade whitmarsh MCcT to Daz350s bike.

As I MotoGP was on at the same time, I took the TV out of the living room and put it in the garage and used chromecast and BT sport to watch it while working

I felt sorry for Jorge
