What did you do to your bike today?

[khemist]

Good to hear, i'm 40.

 

[Lakeland]

Few bits to protect my new bike that’s arriving this week

 

[MowyTone]

Bought some spark plugs as I have no idea how old the existing ones are. Just need to get a tool to take them out..and the drive to do it

 

[Karl]

Noticed a coolant leak, so took the side panel off, and found this

 

[MowyTone]

Is it a feed to an expansion tank?

 

[Fireskull]

If the hose isn't actually split, stick some jubilee clips on instead of the standard clamps and that should probably sort it.

Think so.

If the hose isn't actually split, stick some jubilee clips on instead of the standard clamps and that should probably sort it.

The hoses look in good nick, going to take it apart and lose the coolant tonight, then see what kind of condition the adjoining bit is. If it's saveable, clean it up and re-clip. If not, eBay breakers. There are a few online, but they're sold complete with hoses as far as I've seen.

 

[MowyTone]

depending on the price of the complete setup, you will probably be able to get individual new hoses from fowlers parts

Looked at the bike, gave it a pat and walked off. No riding for me until next year apparently due to a blown ankle

 

[tom_e]

Nearly rode it head on into oncoming traffic due to some massive self pleasurer deciding I wasn't allowed to overtake him in the other empty lane. Closest one in a while!

Packed and fuelled up for a weekend in Wales, leaving straight from work tomorrow afternoon. First long-ish trip on the new bike, and the last long-ish trip of the year for me before work and other stuff consumes all my time. Giving a first outing for what I'm calling the LGBT visor

 

[Maccapacca]

Bought the LC a stable mate. Half it's age yet still 20 years old

 

[Yaayuh!]

HOLY BALLS that's clean!

How many miles has it got on it? 1K? lol

 

[unKle]

That is stunning. Only bike I regret selling was my 2000 R1. Best carb'd bike I've ever ridden too, fuelling was nigh on perfect.

What are your plans for that?

 

[The_Abyss]

Not my kind of bike but it is hard not to look at that and love it!

 

[Fireskull]

Ridiculously clean for its age, nice one!

 

[CGrieves]

MINTY! I bet the "first gen" tax on that was considerable!

 

[Scort]

Bought the LC a stable mate. Half it's age yet still 20 years old

Needed to quote the image again - that is stunning!

 

[MowyTone]

Wow such a clean machine

 

[Diddums]

Man I remember when those first came out, together with the R6 and homologation special R7, they changed the world of motorcycling. Such an epic machine, hasn't aged a day. Epic purchase Flip Flop, well done
