(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

What can I say ….I’m just getting old and a faint smell of wee !

 

Getting old here too, had to double check what thread I was in. Was especially confusing when there was a picture of a mature Lady……..small bike things indeed.

 

I have plenty of one. And very little of the other.

 

That warm yellow thing was in the sky today down here and I remembered that I've a couple of nice bikes in the garage. Got them out for a freshen up, tyre pressures duly checked and off for a nice ride on both, with a visit to the MOT bloke to book the Hyper in before I forget.

I find it pleasantly surprising that, with a 4 month riding layoff, it feels as natural as always

 

Come on Lad,…Wallace and Grommit innit

 

Managed to fit the race filler cap.

 

Will it go faster or can you fill it up quicker?

 

Both. 100% guaranteed.

 

Good to hear
Must get one for my work van.

 

Plus if he’s loses patience with it again it’s easier to drop a match in the tank…….

 

Not sure it works on vans unless they are fiat

 

Wheels out of the 899 ready for new tyres

 

What tyres are you going for then Phil?

 

metzeler m9rr’s mate

 

Im on Bridgestone S22s atm and been quite happy with them, but I fancy trying either some Pirelli Rosso IV, or the new Rosso Corsa’s, dread to think how much a set they are mind

 

That's why I'm going for the Metzelers, they have a similar 'feel' to Pirelli but a bit cheaper, they were £305 a set delivered, I think the Pirelli's were £360-380

 

In contrast to the 916/748 process, it’s such a retrograde step.

 

Insured the bikes, the renewal was 20% cheaper than last year, plus I got £25k of personal accident cover thrown in.

 

Another years MOT on the MV. First time in many years all three bikes have been on the road at the same time. Wonder if it will last the whole year

 

Mines down from £170 to £140, which will slightly offset my lads £850 on his Aprilia RS 125.
