What did you do to your bike today?

Looks great ic3

I don't normally like street fighter looking bikes but that looks ace. I would love one just as a track bike!

Need to get some more bar end mirrors.

How often you out on your bike IC3?

Junglist · 2 Apr 2017 at 17:41

My bike now in its Chinese fairings

OEM quality they are not but for £390 I'm pretty happy

Captain · 2 Apr 2017 at 17:42

Looking good. Pleased to be back on the road?

Junglist · 2 Apr 2017 at 17:53

Still not on road just yet! Need to sort out insurance and my MOT (as well as put a new peg on!) then I'll be very happy

Cheers, I don't like bar end mirrors even though they look good. They interfere with my riding style and the way I position myself on the bike for the turns.

Depends, on the pictures I took a longer route home from work.

I use the bike as a commuter and to have fun so it gets a fair bit of usage. Why?

Just asking, i have a mate who i wanted to come with me today because of how sunny and warm it was, he wanted to sit in the house watching TV.. me and my dad are always out together but we wanted to see if anyone wants to ride with us, as long as they can keep up..

IC3 · 2 Apr 2017 at 20:14

Keep up? Lets compare our front chicken strips, here's my left side, so you don't say that I got rid of them on a roundabout.

Captain · 2 Apr 2017 at 20:16

I had new tyres fitted yesterday, no strips

IC3 · 2 Apr 2017 at 20:19

Ain't buying that... you say that every time I bring up chicken strips.

I've just cleaned my rear wheel and the chain, adjusted it and lubed it with some of this:

Dry lubes fling less than wet lube but don't penetrate the chain as well, but wet lubes (WD-40 chain lube for instance) just end up covering the wheel in small black lube spots.

This stuff is meant to act like dry lube but penetrate like wet lube, it seems to go on really well and it's 100% transparent so my gold chain which is due to be delivered this week should stay looking nice

Result! Just got back in from a quick hour or blast down to Hastings, and ZERO lube fling!

Just a bit of road dust which doesn't show up normally but it was dark so flash was needed.

Compare the same with wet WD-40 chain lube... :mad:

And yes I know my chain is a little rusty, got a new DID gold and black chain coming this week.

I did actually have new tyres fitted yesterday.

IC3 · 2 Apr 2017 at 20:59

I'm getting new tyres Mon/Tue, hopefully it'll be around 18-20c so I can scrub them in nicely.
