(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

Ordered a set of Michelin tyres for my recently acquired 300cc maxi scooter.
The rear is a squared off kenda.
The front is the original maxis, dated 13/14 so 10 years old ! . No wonder I had no feedback, I thought it was just the smaller wheels.
Going to be fun getting the bolts loosened off on a Chinese bike that have never been moved since assembly at the factory a decade ago .

 

Not found Maxxis to be much cop on motorcycles, their MTB tyres are excellent though.

 

The spare Multistrada V4 pillion seat I bought from a seller on eBay arrived this morning. It looks brand new so well chuffed for £45 and Evri managed to deliver it within 24 hours of dispatch, without damaging the packaging … result Andy

 

They are allegedly delivering my scooter tyres tomorrow , they might ring the doorbell, or just leave them by the front door, or lob them over the gate, or maybe next doors gate , or too the wrong house around the corner . All have happened in the past .

 

Not me but finally my mate picked up a Multistrada V4 GT from Ducati Alton. He’s been researching for months (14 months actually) and finally pulled the trigger today to become part of the Ducatisti.
I’m to blame

 

Marius dropped them off on time !

 

Completed the modification to my spare pillion seat and very pleased with the result. Andy

 

Replacement rubbers after Roland Rat fucked up two complete sets plus one half on another bike.

 

Stripped the clutch master cylinder on my 750ss. Took about 30 minutes to disassemble and clean everything, about 15 minutes to reassemble, and 2 hours to find the transfer pin after I pinged it across the garage. FFS that was irritating

 

Put the newly purchased Gianelli exhaust on the Aprilia today and gave it a clean. It really needs a to be refurbished as it’s gotten too tatty in places. Going to make a start on it in the new year.

 

Bought myself a copy of MCN that was published on the exact day of my birth in the 60’s. Only cost a fiver including postage. A lot cheaper (and more interesting for me) than a copy of The Times. Probably frame it and then put it in the loft.

 

Just reduced the price on a bike I have for sale on Car and Classic.The market still seems very depressed so I will do a reverse auction and over time keep lowering the price till it sells.
I have two, possibly three bikes, to sell and I think the process is going to be slow and painful.

 

popped out to the garage to check its still there

 

Changed the battery on the Honda, it had 6 volts and was doing very strange things.

 

Are they advertised on here ?

 

Not as yet doggy.But something I might do after Christmas.
