(small) Bike Things You've Done Today

Another 400 mile day. Rode through a flood. Bike is minging.

 

Visited the Ducati factory.
The last two photos a 996 and I think a 1098 had UK plates, well impressive!

 

Took a photo of it next to a bin

 

How's the cool cover?

 

Were you not tempted to sign the can, I was here.

 

Yeah it’s quite good. I’ve been pouring water on it for extra coolness.

 

A missed opportunity

 

its great

i know it naughty, ive been out with just a t-shirt and jeans, love it, stay slow its fine

 

Here in Italy, shorts and T-shirt seems to be the norm!

 

Decided the rgv was sitting a bit flat so machined down the tie bars slightly to get more adjustment. Not that it needs to steer any quicker....

 

Your reputation procedes you madam.

 

Dropped my 1260 Mutley off at Motovation here in Cheltenham for Tim to do the Desmo service, belts and a few other service items ahead of next months Corsica trip. Very reassuring to have it in the hands of a well respected expert, local too which is a bonus.

Hoping to get it back before the weekend. A few have warned that might not be the case. However, he assured me this morning that it would be ready. GF needs a bit more bike time to be sure that she wants to join me on this trip. Living in hope.

 

Cleaned the track bike today after a wet Oulton Park few weeks ago.

 

New sprockets and chain fitted (for me) this morning and on my way home, dropped in to a local e bicycle retailer for a test ride. Not totally convinced but they are going to lend me the e bike I preferred, for a longer test when we take Carole’s new e bike back for its complimentary 150 mile first service. Andy

 

I've just booked up for an MOT for this saturday, so it will need the once over before i set off.

 

Have already spoken to @cookster about an MOT which is due early next month
