Replaced the throttle cables - and if I'd known what a stupendous fag it was going to be to the carbs out I might not have bothered...
All sorted now tho - looking forward the Isle of Man...

I've had the same.
I think you get it from eating too much foreign food

Looks good and clean that.
I relocated my Scottoiler to under the seat. All ready for a day out on it tomorrow.

Went on a Slow Riding/ Machine Control morning with my local IAM group which was great fun and very useful.
This afternoon I'm off for a ride with a friend

Today I gave my new love a quick clean and took the chance to give her a proper look over.
It appears that the forks have been dropped by 10mm or so, will need to measure to be sure.
The only thing I want to change, so far, is the header bolt nice stainless ones me thinks.In fact one has went missing and been replaced with a regular nut. I'm also thinking about a radiator cover also.
Also done my first mod. Velcroing an old watch to the console.

KangaStu came over to mine and we did a carb balance and TPS check on his Fazer.
Brake caliper strip down and clean on my Gen2 (its first proper wash since September).
MOT on Wednesday.

Dropped a surfboard on it.
I was rearranging my fishing rods which are strung on hooks in the roof of my garage and managed to dislodge my trusty 7'6'' gun which crashed down on the bike. The Fazer was undamaged but the board has a few dings in it.
Just before I shoved the board back up I had a couple of rose tinted minutes recalling those carefree days spent at Newquay, Perranporth and Rossilli, long, long ago. My board was shaped in Oz 'for Bali juice' so it says in pencil on the foam underneath the glass, which sports an excellent Lost Boys paint jobbie. That's where I bought it -at Uluwatu, Bali in 1992 during a six month sojourn of Indo breaks. Ah, heady days of gettin stoked on Kuta reef, massages on the beach, those golden sunsets, Bintang beer and perhaps an opium bong in the late evening to send me off in my hammock.
On monday, I'l be joining all the other sad cunts streaming into London for the 9-5. What happened.........

Trip to Oford and back. Lovely bright hot weather but the wind was really gusting and it was tiring 2 up. Back there again tomorrow but in the car. The joys of looking at accomodation for your kids.

Washed it and tried Motul's Shine and Go polish.
Bloody hell it works really well, the bikes now got that "wet look" and the engine comes up superb!
Top tip: take the seat off first before applying as riding it after, with just a touch of over spray on the seat was like trying to ride a bananna boat covered in baby oil.

Just finished fitting the seat belt in my Fazers sidecar. Easy, just time consuming.
