Winter is coming
Well it's getting to cold and wet outdoors for this MAMIL so the roadbike is fitted in the home trainer this afternoon
Will keep the Storm ready for the occasional ride out a little bit longer though

Stop being Saft,
Get out and enjoy the grit in your eye.
Gentle 20 miles out to the seaside this evening for coffee.
These covid masks are great stopping the icicles forming on your nose.

Re: Winter is coming
Still do a bit of road and mtb
But the winter really is where the mtb makes so much more fun
Where the thought of crud on the road bike fills you with dred.
With the mtb you actually go looking for the stuff

Re: Winter is coming
Well today the Storm was put into winter hibernation as well
I've started a thorough cleaning and will do a service with valve clearance check, carb balancing and all fluids and filters. Also the front brake pads and both tires are due for a change.
I'm gonna get rid the PAIR-valve system in the process and fit a set of bar risers. And the fairing stay could do with a dab of fresh paint.
And otherwise just annoy my surroundings - as usual

Re: Winter is coming
Got some of the engine related stuff done today.
Valve clearances and cam chain slack ok. Spark plugs and coolant changed.
A local machinist made me some covers so I can get rid of the PAIR system. Thanks Mikkel
And the bar risers have arrived. Now where is that pipe

Re: Winter is coming
Is the PAIR system fitted only to some vtrs or maybe not to UK vtrs? I went to fit similar blank plates but it seems that my bike was spared it.

Re: Winter is coming
Yes, only for some markets and later years. It's only fitted when local environmental regs require it.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
