What did you do to your bike today?

Woo-hoo!!!

Excellent! :)

Dropped the RSV off this morning, they just called to say it had sailed through with no issues whatsoever. Back brake required bleeding (as usual, rare to find a Gen 1 RSV with a fully working rear brake!) but that was it. Happy days. Now to tax it, remove the baffles and barn door numberplate and get out for a run on the thing tonight. :D
 
rear wheel bearing has gone on my zx6,making terrible crunching/clanging sound

EDIT: are they hard to get out? never done any before,ordered some allsballs bearings

there had to be one!! :) the camera does make em look much more golder looking tho
better than paying £400+ for the silver MORIWAKI I was going to buy :)
Plus its bling as they call it ?
 
there a little vibey mostly with faring version, not smooth as you would think with only 5 gears.
The Black naked with black wheels I like a lot. You get 170 miles + out of a tank , I hate stopping for petrol !
 
should have said the vibes are only smallish happens over 60 mph, One of the reason I wanted rearsets and better handling comfort
 
Well, ended up ordering this in the end this week and it came today. So, tomorrow morning it's in being fitted and setup as I go to Spain for this 9 days of heaven on Sunday morning... going to work my way through Wales, pop out near Bristol meet a mate then it's off on the 10:30pm Ferry to Bilboa. I cannae wait believe me. So, at least this time I'll have solid suspension all around now, should feel like a new bike.

fitted some new front foot pegs, the old ones were worn out.
just added up my mileage over the last 17 days I have been off work and its 2058 miles.
over the same period in the car I did 25 miles lol
 
Took the RSV out for a run after she passed her MoT with flying colours.

God this thing is still quick for a 14 year old bike. :D
