(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

Clearing garage today found this:


Ducati 749 999 wheel

bought for project which never got off the ground.

Will go on ebay but, in case it's of any interest to anyone, thought I'd show it here first. Good nick, £150 plus postage??

 

Decided to try the launch control on the V4r! Good lord!

 

Went out with a mate for a couple of hours on the Monkeys. Realised the ABS only works on the front, which is probably the worst thing I could have found out, as I’m still a big child. Didn’t stop laughing the whole time.

 

Took delivery of oil filters for an upcoming service marathon.

 

Last of my bits turned up for pani today, so oil, filter, o rings ready to go this weekend.

 

Tyre delivery for various bikes, one needs to be returned because it’s annoyingly been sent in the wrong size.

 

Fitted an Evo tech tail tidy, booked the first service

 

I used to but have just found the Dunlop Roadsmart IVs, really impressed with them

 

Took a Hyper RVE out, bought an SP.

 

I’ve never got on with the profile of Dunlops, I don’t like the way they turn in.

 

Fitted a new front tyre to the Nsr, just got to wait for the correct rear to arrive now so I can fit that.

 

Each to their own

 

Totally, tyres are a very personal choice.

 

Boxed up 2x Monster carbon fibre silencers for later use.

 

Added a Cool Covers seat cover to the Multistrada. Took a trip to their HQ as they are only up the road in Ledbury, really helpful and a nice breeze on the way home

Did a 100+ mile ride to finish off the rear tyre on the 899 then got back and fitted the new one. The bead was an absolute pig to break on it but all my swearing seemed to work in the end.

 

Good god man, how many waypoints have you set-up for those routes, assuming the markers on the maps, are actually that........

 

You’ll be able to hear the Green Man Festival from there.
