Iam gonna change all fluids, brakes pads, air filter,plugs, and check the MCCT,s for adjustment. Bike has now done 12000, miles.Lovely to get out today did about 90 miles but lovely after not being on it for 3 weeks.
How quick does the bike feel when you haven't ridden it for a while? Worth 10bhp innit :lol:

I had a right blast, it felt great.Took it steady and warmed it up, gentle for 15 miles then gave it a fistful. Fell in love all over again!!! new screen makes a world if difference too.
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Radiators, oil cooler and grills are now black. Not a top quality job but they pass.

Not bike, really, but bought a roller shutter door in powder coat blue for the garage.
Motorised, of course. I'll try to put it together next weekend.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Spanked it round Suffolk, laughed at my mate riding a borrowed & hacked up ZZR.

Decided to book an mot for the track hack (Hogthrob), so have just ordered hundreds of stainless nuts & bolts etc, a set of indicators.

Just need to order a new headlight! (the old one has cracked and looks crap)

Any suggestions? must be cheaper than 40 squid though!

Thanks mate, interesting suggestions there, I rather like the beemer one, I've just ordered a 7" round one for now due to the bundle of wires I need to hide in the casing for mot.

Might look into the beemer one though. Would need to trim my electrics back.

Put about 50 arrows through it, think the tiller needs adjusting - sorry since I got rid of the VTR it's been archery all the way (can you tell I miss the Storm?) :whatever
