what did you do with your fazer today ?

[slappy]

I think the big umbrella is overdoing it, why not just buy one of those little collapsible ones

I think you missed my little joke (such as it was ) slappy:

Just got to rig up drive from the output shaft and add a tail rotor...

Funny thing is, I have today gone and grabbed the umbrella from the car and put it with my bike luggage - and it is a wee bit smaller!

There won't be any comments, for fear of their own bikes getting the "red98 MOT"

Well, while it's not exiting or sexy, I put new tyres on today.
In the normal scheme of things I wouldn't have posted this but it's the first time I have used a manual tyre changing machine.
I bought one of these Dirty pro tyre changers earlier this week
Excellent piece of kit. Changed and balanced both tyres in less than 15 minutes. What with 3 rears and 2 fronts/ year on the bike and the motorhome and the UFWD, when I think of the money I could have saved over the years.

quite fancy one of those myself.

did you use one of the recommended alloy wheel bars with it [with the polymer special end fittings]? or just tyre levers?

[Hedgetrimmer]

Left the Picos de Europa today:


























Now in Pamplona (and already seen bull-fighting on the telly), a day in the city tomorrow, then off to the Pyrenees.

Not with , but for.....just bought 2 fairing infil panels for my boxeye as i have two broken lugs on my old ones ......a bargain at £12 posted   

[steve 10562cc]

Just collected new fairing r/hand infill panel and r/hand radiator trim. to put right the damage the previous owner did at the TT 2 years ago still having palpitations of the wallet all £367 of them. knew I had to spend about that when I bought it so shouldn't moan. Impressed with the service though fairing had to come from japan only took 10 days from order to collection.

[steve 10562cc]

Fitted the new fairing to my gen 2 foccing pig of a job could strip and refit the fairing on my old GSXR in a third of the time,  It's not the best thought out bike for maintenance, but to give it it's do easy to do an oil change you don't even burn the back of your hand on the down pipes removing the old oil filter.
