When it rains in France it always seems to piss it down, never a light shower. Over there a few years ago after riding all day in the rain we arrived at a place called San Quentin, think thats spelled right, and found it was twinned with Scunthorpe, Mick was proper pissed off, thats where he lived, could have stayed at home and got piss wet through.

Did the Route Napoleon today, and largely dry weather and roads - things are looking up!

And there was me thinking Wales had great roads!

The route napoleon is a great road, loads of fast flowing curves.

Replaced the indicator / neutral lights bulbs (well when I say bulbs I mean barely glowing candles) with nice bright green LEDs. Such an improvement in daylight, the indicators actually stand out now. <£3:00 as well!

Cheers

Oh I was thinking that is was some kind of thing where a green bulb in an orange lens would look more intense/ brighter than a normal bulb.

Got a puncture in the rear tyre , noticed it after a washed the Guzzi , I assume I got it riding home Wednesday night .

Just got a pair of Bridgestone T30 evo's fitted, only done 20 miles so still running in but all ready notice how great they are, nice long ride tomorrow and they should be nicely heated through

Millietant · « **Reply #6218 on:** 05 June 2016, 10:49:00 pm »

Cleaned, lubed and adjusted the 1000 ready to ride to work tomorrow (100 miles there by the "direct" route).

Roll on tomorrow !

Billy Balthorpe · « **Reply #6219 on:** 05 June 2016, 11:01:56 pm »

Took it for a thrash. I keep forgetting how fast and comfortable the Gen 1 1000 is.

brooker81 · « **Reply #6220 on:** 06 June 2016, 03:06:55 pm »

Fitted new PR4's let see how good they are.

esetest · « **Reply #6221 on:** 06 June 2016, 03:53:29 pm »

Took the rear wheel off , took it to Morpheus to get the puncture repaired , unfortunately he poo pood that idea , said I need a new tyre as it was on the wear markers , ordered a T30 evo , being fitted tomorrow £110 . Whilst I was working on the bike , decided to service the ExUP , stripped , cleaned regreased, and reassembled , will need to order a new set of cables , one had snapped not surprised it was frayed when I serviced it last year.

Lesson of the day/year/decade

Went for a short ride with me new boots and folding short levers.
Where's the lever when needed for braking at the roundabout? it's folded up.
Luckily was going slow so had time to fold down and brake.
Lesson of the day/year/decade check the screws are tight on new folding levers before you set off, could have been very nasty.

slappy · « **Reply #6223 on:** 06 June 2016, 10:08:08 pm »

Washed it, adjusted and lubed chain and a nice early evening blast round Pateley Bridge and Stump Cross Caverns.
