It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

No mines in serious need of a good clean...Brakes are more important IMO the oven can wait...

You're right, after seeing these photo's the white front mudguard looks better, as some of the others said also

Quick trip to the UK to see the folks - Find out Dad’s garage is still full of lovely polishing stuff…
Riding my new (to me) 98 Firestorm on the roads I learned to ride on back in the day…
Life is sweet…
Happy springtime, everyone!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Yesterday TBH... Spent some time removing old bearings from multiple shock linkcage components.
borowed this from Andy next door...

Went well up to a point...One Triangle bracket decided not to play ball stuborn rusty bearing shells decided that 10 tons wasnt enough so the bracket bent first...Binned...
One dog arm split before the bearings even moved...
I now have 3 sets sans bearings to spruce up & re bearing...
Also gave Nue Red its pre MOT check up as in today @ 10 o/c...

What I didnt do was fit me big plate on...

Anoying but he's just doing his job & wants to keep it.
Another Bike MOT site just round the corner is on a suspension for some infraction of the rules...
Take it back in next week free retest with the big plate.

New rubber. £150
Feck me, the road 6 had better be worth it
Looks like it has less rubber than the road 5

I was thinking of sticking those tyres on when I renew, will be good to hear your thoughts on them when you have had a shot on them

Finally fitted all the parts on the VTR following RH low side, bike is looking great and I'll get booked in for an MOT asap so that I can get back out on it 

Re: what have you done to your
That's making my front tyre look almost bald


Mind you, looking at that tyre it appears to have a lot more thread depth to start with

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
You're lucky you haven't yet caught my addiction to Pirelli Supercorsa 3s as yet.
It's them or a holiday every time they need renewing...
