[esetest]

Had the rear wheel bearings replaced .

[helloindustries]

Serviced my brakes. They were pretty gunked up. All clean and ready for winter now.

[esetest]

Checked the swing arm for up and down and side to side play , refitted rear wheel , adjusted chain  .

[helloindustries]

Got some hot-grips fitted.

fired her up last night & rode into work this morning.. not sure whether its my new boots or what but back brake didn't seem to be working so was riding very gingerly. gonna get one of blokes i work with to take it out at lunchtime to see if it just me or the bike!

what ever the problem with rear brakes was it gone as took her for a spin at lunchtime and they all good now.. I'm putting it down to rider error and the fact I'm wearing different pair of boots today and feet may have been resting differently on pegs!!

[pilgo]

put the battery back on and checked the tyre pressures before my bimble up to the NEC tomorow for the bike show

13 degree's,dry and mild at the end of november-bloody global warming eh ?!  8)

[Dead Eye]

I'll give you mild, but it certainly hasn't been dry in my neck of the woods recently...

Definitely having to be more cautious on the roads as they seem rather greasy at the moment...

Only 8 degrees here in the west midlands today

[hairnet]

was gonna ride to hull get ferry then ride to zandvoort for a trackday

they wont let bikes on so will have to go in the car

ferry is 100 quid return inc cabin so with 4 sesions at 25 euros a pop - still cheaper than silverstone or oulton here

[Nebuchernezzer]

Rode my fazer through this storm yesterday....riding in hail is fun...i go down that road at the bottom of shot to and from work...didn't quite make it home before it hit sadly...

[nick crisp]

Replaced the bent fairing/reg-rect bracket (cheers b1k3rdude  :thumbup ). Everything now looks as if it's aligned pretty well, though no doubt it'll all buzz like hell. Closer inspection of the main damage on the fairing is starting to lead me to believe it's something I could fix myself if I'm not worried about having a perfect job. The cracks can be closed quite neatly with just a little pressure, and no chunks have broken off. I'd be more interested in a proper repair if it wasn't for the cost of fresh paintwork, but I reckon I could get it looking "reasonable" by just touching it in after repair, assuming I can find a half decent colour match.

Seat was sticking a little on the catches where it took a bash on the tail unit, but a little selective bashing of a slightly bent lug seems to have solved that issue.

Put the Battery back on and started her up - also checked oil levels and tyre pressures in readiness for a trip to the NEC in the morning.

Thats good Nick..we may be able to repeat our |GLoucester Cheddear trip this December again

[nick crisp]

Well, it's SORN'd at the moment Bill, but can soon change that when I'm fit enough to ride again. I hope we get some decent weather through the winter months, maybe get in a couple of decent rides.

[nick crisp]

Gave it a thorough wash and polish. Can now get my knee bent far enough to get my foot on the rest, but it's pretty uncomfortable still, so a few more days yet before I can ride it. Will tax it on Monday so it's all good to go though.

[red98]

Good to hear your making progress nick  :thumbup

me....took a short bimble on the thou to see mumsy....not in so only one thing to do.....down to the local yam dealer and have a look at the MT range.....first impressions after sitting on both, small and light, did'nt realise the 07 was a twin cylinder........really did like the flat tracker MT09..this one had an aftermarket exhaust for a wapping £1300 extra  :eek

[dazza]

Yes,  good to hear you're on the mend Nick.
Fitted the handguards back on to keepy little pinkie's warm and the New seat to stop my arse going numb,  feels a lot firmer.  I like it but with the extra padding I'm having to think more about the camber of the ground when I stop. ( short arse syndrome).
Then had a soul lifting rideout in the glorious winter sun.
Ahhh,  that feels better. 

[esetest]

Went for a 30 mile ride around Bristol , to test the brakes and rear wheel , .

Yes,  good to hear you're on the mend Nick.

Thanks peeps 

MT09..this one had an aftermarket exhaust for a wapping £1300 extra  :eek

WTF?! Full system I take it? What make?

I was itching to get out on the bike today. First decent riding day we've had for a while. Was very tempted to tax it today and try it, but good sense prevailed.

Was in my local car and bike accessories shop yesterday. They have an immaculate Street Triple for sale (belongs to a customer, they don't actually do full bike sales) at £5950. Was very tempted by that too. Money trying to burn a hole in my bank account  :b  Have to remember what it's for though, unless I want to live in a tent for the rest of my life
