MOT on Saturday. Passed, though he did notice that my normal beam setting is high beam and visa versa!! I'd fitted a eastern beaver relay last year- I didn't notice any other way of connecting it so ill have to whip fairing off and have a look!?

Got another Dyno run done at same time as MOT (gratis) - a few tweaks required according to the a/f charts BUT it rides absolutely great at the moment!

Laters. Griff.

Recently fitted skidmarx bellypan, different clipons to blade forks, Daytona 955i front mudgaurd and had paddock bobbins welded to the swingarm.

Think/hope I'm pretty much finished tinkering with this bike now :D

Something draining the battery over time like an alarm maybe. I have an alarm and I always ride with headlight on and every few months I have to give the battery a top up charge because of this. Did you check your R/R is giving out a charge.

Summer gloves!

That's all I want to say about that.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Packed it into the van, took it to the new place and took all of 10 minutes to annoy at least one of my new neighbours :p also decided that the VTR is gonna be my only bike come October. Can't be bothered with the hornet, just gotta find a way to get rid of it :lol:
