Good to see you Bri. My work colleague didn't turn up, so I went down to Reading, and had a blat along the A4 to clear the cobwebs. Nice to get out on it at last!

Oh. I didn't realise they put the black engines in a 53 plated bike (2003/2004).

Looks minty now.

took Me Julie out for 150 miler to the wilds of Norfolk today and put new Gerbing heated gloves through their paces. Hands lovely and toasty.

Pics after fitting of giving rack and my bargain box. And a quick clean after bike being drowned in road salt.... Thank you gritters!!!!

[Dead Eye]

Got back out on the thou after it being stood for 7-8 weeks - battery was almost flat and couldn't start the bike but luckily had the spare that I got from noggy so put that one in and it took A LOT of cranking to get it going as it stuttered and spluttered before finally clearing. It ran fine once it was started and proceeded to go exploring where I found a few new nice roads that actually had a decent road surface and had no other traffic on them. Front tyre still feels way off though, especially on right hand bends but it will be coming off soon and will be replaced with a T30

Needs a damn good clean, but that will come when I take it to All Year Biker to have its ACF treatment again

[odbguy]

Got bike out for a little ride to see misis over dinner, sadly she had to work through her dinner so had more time to take the long way home

Should have got a shot after I cleaned it, oh well

[esetest]

Charged up the battery , refitted & started 1st press of button , checked the tyres , front was fine , rear had  lost a couple of psi . Took it out for an hour , rode down the A38 , up through Burrington , onto A39 , down to A37 and back into Bristol , roads were mainly dry , a bit greasy in places through Burrington , great to blow off a few cobwebs , got a bit cold towards the end , roll on spring .

Fitted renthal bars:-) straight forward job just need to tap out for bar ends now

[noggythenog]

Fitted renthal bars:-) straight forward job just need to tap out for bar ends now

I got a set of R&G bar ends for Renthals they seem to be proper weighted unlike the Renthal bar plugs which are just that....plugs.........what sort of adhesion did you use for the switch gear out of interest......i went a bit mental on my night shift and ordered some handlebar tape that the lunatic mile munching cyclists use on their bars but usually a bit o whatever tape is lying around seems to do the trick.

[youngsterbiker]

went to the garage to take pictures of the damage done. cried a little on the way home.
