What did you do to your bike today?

It's always a women driver :rolleyes:

Hope told her to use the rear ******* view mirror next time!!

Go direct through her insurance, and is that a crease in the front fairing too? The amount of useless drivers who can't park, let alone drive normally is stupid.

That's where the clutch went down and into the bodywork. Just careless and rushed for a meeting. From now on the bike gets parked on the footpath and they can do one if anyone moans about it.

Excellent cheers. I turned to increase to just under 1500rpm, much better. Will see what it's like tomorrow.

Brilliant starting up and sitting there this morning and no stalling. But found it was about 1500-1600 when warmed up when i got to work. Probably tune down a bit?

Well sometime life can be cruel. Took the bike to work this morning for the first time, only my second time on it.

It got reversed into ... fell onto the left side and made a nice little mess of the body and engine case. The clutch got bent downwards and was very stiff when I tried to use it. Got it recovered instead.

Oh and the damage to her car ... a SMUDGE IN THE DIRT !

**** sake! I would've been irate. Sorry to hear that man, hope al lgets sorted swiftly.
 
Yep take it down a little, the engine should be fully warmed up when setting the idle.
Let it warm up, adjust the screw give it a rev and let it settle then adjust up or down from there blipping the throttle after each adjustment.
 
Fitted the straight bar conversion on the blackbird last night. Not had chance to take it out yet as need some new bar ends, but first impressions while sitting on it in the garage shouting vroom at the top of my voice are quite positive. Really changed the position on the bike. Need a good run now to really feel it.

It might be too loud, I heard an s1000rr with akropovic decat headers and the crt and it was crazy loud, like ear popping loud! :p

Managed to order before sc take a long summer break :)
 
My new screen turned up from China yesterday, exactly what I was looking for, just something to fill the gap.

Fitted a MachineArt Mudsling ,(that I picked up cheap on eBay), to the GS Adventure this evening then took it out for a spin to the local bike dealer/cafe, they run a bike night every Thursday and 50p of every hot drink sold goes to the Royal British Legion.

Must have been 60+ bikes there this evening which wasn't bad considering it was trying to rain all evening :(
 
Dropped the SV off to my mate in Devon today.
After 2 weeks with it, I can see why it's so popular. Light, nimble, raw and fun. Not comfortable for a long haul though :p Jesus Christ my arse!

Don't get me wrong, it isn't the prettiest, nor the fastest, but it is definitely confidence inspiring I find.
