I just can't deal with the lack of symmetry. hehe I prefer the look of twin exhausts on the back. It was one of the main things I was looking for when I bought my Firestorm.

Never mind geo if I find a lhs Leo I might put it back to a twin cannon boomer :-) .

Jazz I pissed off the old fart across the road earlier when I was revving it .
He moaned like a good one and asked me to kindly fit a baffle !
When I told him it was fitted and road legal eu stamped on the can :-)
He walked of in a huff lol

When I start the bike up in the garden, the back doors and windows start to vibrate and it sets off the neighbours car alarm sometimes. V-twin roar

I like that can Lloyd, it suits the bike. I don't think you should have any problem with the carbon on that one as they are well built exhausts. If it was dan moto it would be another story

I have just been out and given the bike a good wash and wax. Got rid of all the dirty remains of snow that landed on it the other day. While lying on the floor rubbing off the wax on the fairing lower I could hear the air leaking on the front tyre around the bead where there was a bit of water still sitting. I have to put air in it know every time before I go out, so pretty much on a daily basis Gonna get some Pilot road 3's on Saturday. If I keep going the way I'm going it will only be a couple of weeks before there is no tread left on the front. It's down to about 1mm at the moment and bald on the sides It should feel like a new bike with a new matching paie of tyres all balanced up

Lloydie.......the bike looks good with the carbon can

Took it for an mot.........which it failed but a quick swap of bulbs in the indicators and it passed bloody flash rate was too high, and an advisory of the chain being slack, which he checked with the bike jacked up...

Cleaned last weekends salt off.
Made her roar.
Left her running till the fans came on. Both came on and sounded smooth.
Next remove the tank and fit the nearside crash bung.

took you a week to clean the salt off
its not a honda you know it will rust faster than you can clean it

it will rust faster than you can clean it

Italian bikes really do need to be either locked up in winter with a heated blanket, duvet and pillow or coated in ACF50 or something through the winter.

I noticed bits of rust starting to form on my VTR the other day inside the heads of bolts and stuff, especially the calliper bolts. Gave it a wash and wax yesterday and it has seemed to clean the surface rust off.

Don't I just know it! I doubt it will be going out much more before Spring.

after refusing to pay david silvers £15 for two little sponge things that sit in the airbox

i decided to go all blue peter stylee, i bought a sheet of air filter foam off ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0897106588
so i made my own, tbh the foams a bit deeper than standard but i don't really care, as long as it does the job.
total cost of £8, but i reckon you can make about 10 pairs out of it, which means 80p a pair....
