Introduced about 5 people to the joys of the pillion seat.

Intriguing - care to expand on that?

I was invited to a barbeque with some friends, and took the spare helmet and jacket with me. I had fun giving the other youths there lifts on the pillion, just round a short little circuit on back roads. They all came off raving about it; they loved it! Including a rather attractive young lady, who was holding very tight to me... I shall say no more...

I hope you got her number, otherwise hang your head in shame.

I've been flirting with her all week!!

(And before Dead or Exup come up with a smart alec comment - she flirts back!! )

Technically, if she's inflatable she can't flirt back

Started with this

And about 30 seconds later ended up with this:

I had ordered Chrome Amber bulbs as well (I have orange bulbs in here, but I loathe the "fried egg" look) but Im not sure ill need them now. Ill fling them in when they come in anyway I suppose just to see what they look like.

Rode it down to Stratford upon Avon for breakfast with a mate of mine.

I'm self employed with no work this morning so took the opportunity. The ride home was hot though, had to peel all my gear off when I got home!!

Got mine back on the road and took it for a spin to get some fuel and it feels soooo gooood

:D:D

Apparently all the "engine" issues I thought I had were imaginary, but the chain was shagged beyond all belief

Had a traffic light GP with an 6.3 AMG Merc, that's one quick car

Oh I won

Removed the choke cable to service and lubricate and found out it was buggered. Ho Hum.

Went for an evening ride on my newly fixed bike... and the rear caliper fell off :|

No idea what happened, no bolts have sheared off as the bracket has no remains in it but I also can't find them in the garage so I'm pretty sure I fitted them... in any case, spent 20 mins to find the caliper as it snapped the relatively brand new braided hose

Jumped on and picked some leathers up from a fellow forum member

still need to balance those carbs

Ride it to Watlings to get a pucture repaired on the rear wheel of my 125. Then to work and home again.

Did a bit of gardening, said to the wife had enough.
Got the gear on sweating like a pig in this heat (live in Spain) and went for a blast around the mountain roads at the back of me 150 kms back home and jumped in the pool for a cool off and flashed the BBQ up few cold beers and bed, hard life but someone has to do it.

Fitted the upgraded front sprocket nut and tab washer. Changed the spark plugs and trimmed the HT leads at the plug caps.
Its great to have the bike back on the road again especially in this weather

Red foxeye 600, but I'm in Berlin for the weekend so I doubt they're on here!

I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about

*whistles inconspicuously*

Pretty sure if I had taken it to any other garage it wouldn't have passed haha

Ridden up to Carlisle yesterday, saw some family, then made my way back through the lakes trying to hit them all before coming home on the M6.. Some beautiful roads that way.

Fitted a new set of front brake pads. Decided to go with SBS as per some of the advice on here. Will have to see how i get on with them.

Mark

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #749 on:** 20 July 2013, 11:45:06 pm »

Don't forget to bed those pads in - 50 miles or so of taking it easy on them, allow extra stopping room until settled.
