What did you do to your bike today?

I don't like beer, prefer whiskey or vodka. :) I only drink occasionally, 2-3 times a year.

I've got a near 50 inch chest, wide shoulders and a small waist in comparison and my Furygan jacket is a lovely fit.

Then again their leather jackets weren't even close to fitting.

I can't zip up my RST jacket when I stand straight up, when I hunch forward its tight but doesn't unzip. :p I should fo got a 50 instead of 48 or 40 instead of 38 if you prefer UK sizes. :p
 
Out for a run to the Green Welly at Tyndrum today. Mille was absolutely flying, what an utter hoot! Bike is 17 years old and still managed to show a clean pair of heels to a few superbike exotica riders this morning.;) Then back home for Sunday dinner out at our favourite restaurant and rounded off with cold beers in the back garden. If Carlsberg did weekends......!!! :D

Thanks guys, yeah, she's an absolute minter. Possibly one of the best Gen 1 Non-'R''s in the UK, IMO. I love riding the thing, always puts a smile on my face. Planning on splashing out on something new in a year or two but this ones a keeper, not selling. :cool:
 
I've been up visiting family this weekend, travelled back today - was going to go for a ride this afternoon but the rain was threatening so washed the bikes instead.

The Tuono looked like this after being caught in the rain Wednesday/Thursday on the commute :eek::eek::

So gave that a full wash: front brakes scrubbed, crappy foaming (as the new pressure washer we've got is the wrong adapter for my snow foam lance), 2 bucket wash, and quick coat of wax.

Also gave the VFR a quick wash down, cleaned the chain etc. and gave it a coat of carnuba wax, it's a lot more work than the Tuono!! Not too shabby for a 17 year old bike though! :D I've got a Delkevic 350mm high mount stainless slip on being delivered tomorrow to replace the bazooka OEM one, should let out the noise a bit better :D

MOT'd my bonnie. An advisory for not having rear footpegs.... been to the same blokes for the past 3 years and this is the first time they've ever said anything.

Got some new Bridgestone Battlax BT-016s for my speed triple that I need to fit, then it's off to the MOT guys for that. It ran out on the 1st so that's a bit annoying. First ride scrubbing the tyres will be on the way to the garage lol.
 
Fitted the Delkevic 350mm high level slip on last night.



It probably need a couple of rides to 'bed in' but sounds nice, not as loud as I thought it would though. The baffle is already out :D Sounds good when accelerating but fairly quiet when at a steady throttle. Probably doesn't help that all I hear above 50mph is wind noise, need a bigger screen.

Pops a little around 4k rpm, but tbh this morning it was a battle against the elements, was concentrating on surviving the rain, grim here this morning!
