  1. Oil and filter change on the Scrambler Icon and a trip to MR for a litre of Motul 7100, coz I didn’t have enough. Could have sworn one of the 2 unopened bottles in the garage was 7100, turned out both are 300V, doh ! Still all done and it fired up on the button, sweet as a nut :D Andy

  2. Removed ugly headlamp complete as only safe way to change blown sidelamp (@Dean Roberts did too!). So far resisting temptation to chizel black paint off headlamp frame where corroded. Ordered 4 non-std exhaust mesh seals for above as cheaper (and more substantial) than Ducati items.

  3. I’ve somehow managed to lose half a tin of tomato soup. I took an already opened can out of the fridge about an hour ago intending to heat it up in the microwave but I got distracted by something and have been looking for it ever since.

    I have exactly the same problem with tools and parts when messing with my bikes and I’d say that easily 50% of the time each job takes to complete is due to looking for an Allen key or spanner that I know for a fact was in my hand only 2 seconds ago but somehow has apparently managed to disappear through a wormhole in space. Do professional mechanics suffer the same issues?

    Weird. And very annoying. :mad:

  5. I found it eventually. It was on top of the recycle bin out in the yard yet I can’t for the life of me recall opening the door :neutral:
     
  6. Was the label back to front ? If it was it was either Jez or the Mutt knows something.

  14. Received my warranty replacement Givi tank bag from Newcastle Motorcycles. Hooray for them and Givi.
    Quick turnaround and no quibble under the guarantee after the zip gave up. It never was good from the beginning but the new bag zip seems really good.

    10 out of 10 for both.

    Other than that been fixing plumbing, heating and electrics for the old folks without getting too near them. All sorted.
