What did you do to your bike today?

[Maccapacca]

Looks good, but your Abba stand is around the wrong way

Spent an hour trying to find a picture from I'mright.com to prove you wrong but I'll have to admit defeat

Here is one for you

It's obvious when you have it wrong as you risk snapping your side stand if you leave it down.

If you have a side stand probably yes

Went into the garage, looked at it, walked away. Probably no riding until the new year due to my ankle currently being in more pieces than it should be.

Let's look on the positive side - at least you walked away!

I laughed!

Fitted one more side of the R1 blue spots to the 35 year old 2 stroke

I actually rode the thing and took it to the ACE Cafe!

 

[Fireskull]

Stripped it....

Is that a solid non floating disk?

Are you not worried about the modern calipers causing it to warp?

Wuick question since I need to get the back end of the 250, at my parents house there's a much bigger garage and I've got my old squat rack/power rack there.

Would I be crazy to ride it into that take all the fairing off, and use a piar of ratchet straps to lift the rear end by the sub frame so when I take the rear suspension out it doesn't collapse (have a conventional paddock stand thst can stabilise the bike and I could strap the front wheel down to so

What's it like there? I dont think I'd ever take my bike to london again after the other one got stolen but it would be cool to vist the cafe.

Any interesting customs outside?

Nope that sounds like a good plan. I used to ratchet strap bikes to a roof beam in my workshop when I messed around with suspension. Strap it as near to the front of the subframe as you can.

Looking very nice! And the stand is the right way around too

Sorry to hear about the bike, that's a real bummer :/

It's pretty good, always something interesting to see be it cars or bikes. The only downside is that the last part of the journey for me is pretty dull, A40 or A41 from Watford to Brent Cross/North circular.

 

[Maccapacca]

Pipes properly fitted now

 

[CGrieves]

Awesome. A bike project that's actually progressing!

Aren't you supposed to strip a thread or find a bracket that doesn't line up and then leave it gathering dust in the corner for years?
