Took the tank back off Big Bird a swapped the petcock over.

Swapped some rear brake calipers over.

THe Murvinator needed the rear sorting...

Put the fairing back on Nue Red, polished the tank & tail.

Cut the Grass. Watched Race 2 WSBK.

Actually went out for a ride today...

Nipped in to see me MOT man, asked about the rear indis on RXNine... Re would it pass an MOT...Has to be 180mm apart to conform to regs...
KXNine 7.jpg
They are about 125mm apart so gonna have to rig something up to get a test... :twisted:

Also recently purchased some allegedly Motorcycle freindly LED H4 bulbs, so asked him to check the beam pattern on his MOT light checking do dah thing...

All good pattern is fine...Means I dont have to swap over the bulbs like I have been doing for the last 4 years come Mot Time... :lol:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334319170432

Then went & got two spare keys cut for RXNine... The one key I got with it showed a slight bend & the key cutting guy said it had a fracture as well...

You know what fun I've had with broken keys in the past...! :lol: :lol:

Then off to Tescos for some supplies & topped up with their finest cheap petrol...About half a tank still cost feking £12... :x

Blasted back tucked up in the cave waiting till Friday... :D :thumbup: :D

There was a TDR 125 in the mot bay in front of me, I forgot they ever made them!
