Turns out it's been off the road for 4 years, which explains all the rusty bolts N bits... 8O

Took the RothBurg out for a spin, nothing special just a run to the shops...

Blimey its sweaty hoolocks out there today !

But nice breeze though the mesh jacket at speed...

Talking of speed, came off the M2 slip road on to the nice bit of ring road towards home, aware of the first overpass for the pig on the bridge...

A nice cager coming the other way was flashing his head lights, so toned it down a bit thinking there's maybe a 5/Oh car up ahead... ?

No the pig on the bridge was on the next overpass, 8O... Throttle off & a squeeze of the anchor... Down to 60 to be on the safe side...

Made up for it a bit later on... :lol: :lol:

My VTR came with yucky bubble indicators which
a) I hate the look of them
ii) I don't think they are very visible, which is kind of a necessity, its in the bloody title.
3) They seem crap quality.

So I got these, possible crap quality, LED jobs from China via fleabay.

Image

They look better, almost original defo 90's style, and are quite bright, time will tell on the quality. A quick test on the bike, I think I need a resistor to slow things down.

Moved them all out of the cave.

Did some fettling on WaxStorm. Adjusted the gear linkage, fitted a chin spoiler, standard one nowt fancy. Changed the leavers put standard ones back on.

Had a visit from DJ Walker & swapped a pair of forks, rusty stanchions & blown seals for a brand new under tray... :thumbup:

Finished me fettling did a bit of tidying up, put them all back & locked up...

Still got bits to do so will be back out there tomorrow...
