i think it was the enormous weight of the "Fringe". I do remember letting you turn mine round on that precarious slope though.

I wonder how may Storms have entered that garage!!! And has anybody ever seen behind the blanket? or the back wall?? :lol:

Oh the joys of a garage. Mines coming along nicely.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Ooh yeh a proper mancave where I could lock myself away. Actually I could buy a garage and move in. :lol: It would have to be a well sorted garage though.No many tea stained spoons sitting in a chipped cup in the corner but proper coffee machine and chill out area. Then an area for tool storage, workbench/s, an oil tank, parts washer etc etc. Good sound system, TV, Internet. A log cabin come garage vube would be ideal. I could have nice woodburner in the corner then, an upper level with bed and a glass roof so I could see the stars.

I'm dreaming :Smoke3:

Rear hugger came off as the M7RR's I ordered were 190/55/17s and caught the very edge of the hugger on the RHS. Gonna have a go at raising it, elsewise I'm cutting it :lol:

Tyres feel nice so far, turn in is bloody beautiful! :D

Suddenly all my issues with the bike have gone.. the power is very controllable as these tyres don't give when you hamfist it or want to have fun on a roundabout :D

Made grave error yesterday doing bike in garage, changing clutch over on Sidestrand forgot to put it in gear so it would hold the basket in place when I loosen springs and forgetting I had taken the case off I grabbed the bars reached over to the other side of the bike to press gear Leaver down at same time standing it up.... Placed it back on stand and realised I has just tipped about a ltr or two of oil out the side of the bike. wombles!
