  1. Is that the the mirror fasteners, sure I have a couple knocking around.

    Raining all day here.

    Took the barrel, piston and rings from my sons Aprilia to the workshop for them to inspect……..

  3. :thinkingface:
     
  4. Holy moly!
    What's that from?
     
  5. 749 ones here, I have only rode a 748 and found it underwhelming to be honest but I had previously ridden a 851 which may have influenced that feeling somewhat.
     
  6. 900ss ie
    This was on the bike until I decided to fit full wets,
    New pins & cush drive to be fitted & maybe a slipper clutch

  8. I picked up a similar lift, up to 300kg weight, it came with a split hydraulic line and no ramp. Both I'll sort on my own but I only paid 100 EUR for it. If anyone has any idea on this lift, it would be greatly appreciated!

  9. Wanted to ride the baby R today as MOT runs out at midnight…
    Put it on the NOCO charger first thing…
    Nope, despite it starting a couple of weeks ago, bloody thing won’t start.
     
  10. Dropped the Versys in for service and MoT today
     
  11. Went to the garage in the pouring rain.
    Put the lights on.
    Looked at the bikes.
    Turned the lights off.
    Went back into the house through the pouring rain.

  12. Monster started, as it always does.
    Got 10 miles and it was pissing down with flooded roads…came home, bright sunshine, dry.
     
  13. I got out on mine. First proper ride post belts etc etc. quite nippy little bikes aren’t they?

  14. It’s been dry here all day Sunny South Staffordshire, not got out on bike though.
     
  15. The same here in Kent. Overcast this morning but fairly bright all afternoon
     
  16. Every cloud - since it didn't start it didn't get filthy in the pissing rain like the Monster did.

  20. I sold a full set of heavy duty rubber floor mats from one of my previous cars, I met the buyer in Crick, on my way there, I saw a stranded biker, with a '70s Triumph at the side of the road, he was still there when I came back, so, I stopped to give assistance, I picked him and his bike up, and took them home to Coventry, before returning home (Hinckley)

    Thankfully, I decided to go to Crick in the van, and not the car, as originally planned

    The biker offered to pay for fuel, but, I politely declined

    Oddly enough, it was a post on here, saying about how long he had waited
    for a recovery to pick him up, got me thinking about it
