(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

  1. Completely trashed the clamp that the mirror bolts into, as I assumed you undid it anti-clockwise. Was going to rethread it and use a bigger bolt, but saw the clamp on the parts fische for around a tenner, so will order one tomorrow and do it properly. I did think it was quite tight!
     
  2. If I was you, I'd head to the Picos.......not the one you mention, otherwise the sat-nag might get a little confused. Just saying! :p

  3. Had something similar on a euro trip. Turned the sat nav on for the alleged last 10 miles to the hotel in Lucern. We were in Luzern....

  6. I'd the second rideout on the red superlight as the first was back on the 27/06 with only a trip to the mot station, there was spots of rain in places so i only did 35 miles on it, i'm not keen on cleaning these days.!

  10. I prefer cars as you don't bash your knuckles up, but the bike is quicker on time if you don't ride in the rain that's.
     
  11. I'm probably the only tradesman that waxes his van, Lol

  13. I guess it's the same principles as the road vehicles, to protect the paintwork and help it go faster in the slipstream / water.

  18. Certainly is, bike having a full rebuild.
     
  19. Checked my trackday gloves - Handroid Mk4’s. Split seam (finally) after an off at Snetterton last year. I got about 12 more days out of them and think they are ok for road now but not track.
    Bought me some Racer gloves to replace them.
