Went on an open topped bus tour round Malta. :sunglasses: Feels strange to be on a med island with vehicles driving on the left. Lots of bikes about. Even a couple of Ducatis.
That's an Audi R8....you need a man that drives a mini. A man that drives an R8 will be wearing more make up than you @Ducbird and take twice as long getting ready to go out.
rode to Ace and back to Box on a 750 and just got back from Box on a 375.. up early tomorrow to sort out problem or no riding for me.
very lucky to have got to Ace yesterday - on one cylinder for last 5 miles of journey home/rear pick-up failed so VOR unless I get cracking today. It's nice and mild so no real excuses I suppose.
if I had the time it would be good to tackle this job Ichiban-style but apart from time Iphone will get very oily plus possibly scratched/broken. :smileys:
Spent the last 5 hours straight in the garage refitting the standard wing mirrors and indicator hand guards. GT bars off first followed by all the panels and the petrol tank. The indicator wiring connectors are buried under the tank. Then put it all back together again. Everything works except the fuel sender - bugger ! Also noticed the the high beam indicator lamp glows especially when the neutral light is on - double bugger !! I'm going to post the LED indicator mirrors and full motocross style hand guards for sale later if anyone is interested. Oh yes, definitely not as young as I used to be, it seems my lower back isn't happy, sure is complaining a lot . Andy
^ good to know i'm not alone. Only just found spare pick-ups so soon-to-be failing light plus the fact that I have to drain tank (24 litres - only filled it up 30 miles ago) means I will abort 'til tomorrow. Last part of Agatha Christie tonight. :smileys:
no Viv, you know me by now. I 'took the plunge' and replaced my Nokia with a s/h Iphone 4s around 2 years ago after being urged by biker mates to move at least into the 20th century. It was partly due to the overwhelming enthusiasm that @CRYSTALJOHN displayed when talking about his that made me do it. Of course it's an improvement but I feel I have let myself down rather as I am now a 'slave to it' like all the other millions of sheep. My favourite ingredients are the photo/video and voice recording features though, I try not to use the phone too much.
And I'm still as enthusiastic today as when I first got it Chris. The best piece of technology ever. The ability to simply access just about the totality of mans knowledge in a device 115mm x 60mm x8mm and communicate with someone anywhere on the planet earth. Just magnificent .
Took my son to his grannies for a few days to be fed a constant diet of chocolate. Went to Infinity outlet and couldn't decide on helmet. Quite liked Shoei NXR though. Mended leaking flat roof with Acrypol. Bit or TLC on 996, started to remove paint from heat/heel guard but ran out of light and rubbed down and spraying anniversary red on carbon fibre heel plates.
