  1. Got back from Afghan for R+R yesterday.

    Went to the garage to see my baby, put the battery in, turned on ignition and prodded the starter. Vroom, she fired up for the first time in 4.5 months and sounded sweet.:biggrin:

    Now all I have to do is fit all the bits I've bought for her. Will post some pics when I'm done.

  9. Welcome back Matt glad your back safe and well :upyeah:
     
  10. Glad you're back home. But just because you have got through a tour of Afghan unscathed, don't forget you can still get scrunched popping down to the chippy - try to remember you're not invincible! Sorry about that.

  13. Will be up soon. Had a mare with the new tail. The lock doesn't fit and nor does the mechanism. Going to take a subtle application of the dremel. Had to take the wife away this weekend otherwise I'd still be in the garage messing around. Will be done by Tuesday when I return home.

  15. Glad you are back all ok.

    There is always that moment when you try to start your bike on R+R/EOT, enjoy your time off :upyeah:
     
  16. Stage 1 complete. R&G case protectors, K&N filter and Bayliss rep fairings fitted. Fairings needed a bit of persuasion, but for £150 I'm not complaining. They're only to save my originals anyway.

    Stage 2 is tomorrow- 4's, Hel lines and 14t sprocket. plus whatever else catches my eye at MR

  17. Nice to see you back safe mate, bike looks the balls! Now just don't bin it on track....
     
  18. Staying upright is the plan, but the predicted weather is doing its best to mess it up

  19. Well the m4's are looking good.

    However, the carbon seat cover in the photos is no longer there as I must not have pushed it home properly and it's now somewhere on the A303...... Bugger!!:mad:
