What did you do to your bike today?

[IC3]

Start hitting the pub and build some belly?

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. I should fo got a 50 instead of 48 or 40 instead of 38 if you prefer UK sizes.

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......!!!

Beautiful bike mate... I see one everyday on the way home from work, can tell when he's coming before you see him

That rumble

 

[edd1e]

Looks great for it's age mate. Gotta love an Ape'

 

[Draeger]

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.

 

[ElliorR]

Out with the rather ugly, though perfectly functional, exhaust and in with a new Arrow X-Kone.

 

[IC3]

It needs a tail tidy badly, that thing is massive!

 

[ElliorR]

I have one sat at work waiting to go on but time is against me currently.

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 :

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! 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

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.

Very nice mate, as soon as you get a tail tidy it will make that rear end look sweet

 

[mattcrane]

Had a pair of Pirelli Scorpion Trail II's fitted yesterday ready for next weeks Normandy tour

 

[TallPaul_S]

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 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!

 

[Scooby_WR1]

Just needs the center stand painting/removing now.

 

[TallPaul_S]

Yeah the stand needs a lick of paint

It needs a bit of a degrease and clean around the swingarm area, nothing major though.

 

[whyscotty]

Got the bike back earlier today after having some work done.

Remapped and a stint on the dyno



Damper and some M7 RR's fitted





Just needs a good clean at the weekend

116bhp? I thought they left the factory with 125bhp?

 

[Minibiker]

Always like the look of the CB1000R but never had the chance to get out on one

 

[TallPaul_S]

116bhp? I thought they left the factory with 125bhp?

That's at the crank, dynos will measure at the wheel. All manufacturers quote engine bhp, not wheel bhp.

Damn - too slow
