Today was a ****** commute in! My trip computer has been dead for a while (new one is on route from the dealership) but my petrol light has always worked...

...until this morning(!)

Ran out on a duel carriageway, had to push my bike nearly a mile up hill to a safe spot. To top it off, I didn't bring a phone or bank card. So I walked into work in all my gear, and one of the guys is going to drop my off at a petrol station in a bit to get a can.

Last thing I needed on a rainy morning(!)
 
lol I pushed an old xs400 5 mile home at 4 in the morning 30 odd years ago I made sure I never run out of petrol again the thing is I stopped at a garage to tuck my scarf in around my neck because it was winter and didn't realise I was on reserve already I had not turned her back to main after my last run out.

When I reached the nearest garage I had 37p on me but was good enough to get me home :D
 
The Titanium shorty arrived today, i have a feeling this will be too loud for long rides and the SC Project CRT will be too, i'll probably stick the akra shorty on and keep that if the AR is too loud. Looks good though. :)

Akra headers are here, will get a picture up later on.

Tempted to fit them myself but I know you have to remove all the fairing, air and oil guard, foot pegs, servo cables, might be easier to let a mechanic do it :p
 
It's like some sort of broken cafe racer/muscle bike love child.

I'm not disappointed that it's the only one in existence let's put it that way.
 
I've got nothing to do tomorrow and don't need to buy anything but the weathers supposed to be decent and a new J&S has opened 15 minutes from the house. Someone please come and take my wallet off me...
 
I on the other hand sold most of my bike gear, including the Shoei helmet. I left 1 pair of kevlar jeans and the textile jacket. Still have loads of spares from my SV which I never had a chance to put on... :p
