mine is a crappy fake carbon one it was on the bike when bought will get round to replacing it eventually.

So did mine so I painted it to match the bike.

I checked the links (thanks) and all of em incorporate a chain guard. I been lookin ever since I bought the bike and havn't been able to find a hugger without the guard.

Buy one and cut the guard part off, then put ya metal work skills to use and make a bracket up

Fitted new Conti Road Attacks. Feels weird as front seemed heavy checked the tyre pressures with my own gauge 32 front and 39 rear.
Now 36 &42 will see what happens tomorrow blowing a gale today so went and had a few beers.

well got out for a good run today took it steady for the first 50 miles as the bike did feel completely different than when on the BT020's Slowly gained confidence and started flicking the bike around. Covered 120 miles and well what a difference just did not want to go home fun day. All set for the run up to Valencia moto gp this weekend.
Think I have made a good choice of tyre here, will have to wait and see how long they last on these Spanish roads.

Working from home today and the sun came out. Suddenly I remembered I needed to collect summink from the office in Dorset for a works trip next week. Nice 1hr ride out then cup a tea at the office looking out the window at the fazer then the 1 hr ride back, lovely. Quick wash down to get the wet road crud off, picked up along the way. Then rolled back into the garage. Heated datatool grips felt marvellous! Enjoyed that.

Took a ride out to the bowling alley for a few frames with my brother. It was cold inside so I kept my great on. The look could really catch on I think...

Rode around A40/M40 land getting wet and then headed back into London. No problem with the bike which had tons of grunt just problems with my so-called waterproof jacket and rubbish 'Winter' gloves.Good job I've ordered new ones.

Rode to Devon along the A303 last night in the rain, spent some time cleaning it today with my old man's limited collection of cleaning bits and bobs.

PS: every time I go on the A303 I have some sort of 'run-in' with a boy racer or twat executive type in a BMW/Audi/VW. Last night it was a boy racer in Seat.

red98 · « **Reply #1420 on:** 09 November 2013, 04:42:43 pm »

Boy racer are there for your enjoyment when you leaving them for dead.

A few years ago I took an S1000RR for a test ride, a Boy racer in an M5 was acting the idiot in front of me. I decided to over take and foc off. Just as I went to overtake Boy racer dropped a gear (obvious from the puff of black smoke from the exhaust) to take me on. I dropped 2 and was gone My friend behind me on and R1200GS pulled up along side him and said he was looking dumbfounded in the M5. My friend looked in at him and shook his head, passed and met me at a petrol station 5 miles up the road and told me what had happened. The M5 guy pulls in and get out and asked "Whats that" I just said "one very fast motorbike" and rode off.

Bitching with carbs

Is there any one that like it? I must say it's not the worst sort of tasks if you have warm place with roof on top of your head ... and my hands.. still stinks bleee.
