There should've been blood in my lid when I got home, ooh my ears...:D
 
Just gave her a clean :) someones coming tuesday to view ..up for sale) Put on 6 months tax this week too.
Can't decide should go naked or fairing on the honda cb1300, The bike I have now is naked and its fun slows me down but hate the wind blast on motorways, Like the black non fairing cb1300 05 onwards and the red & white fairing...but the naked black will look a lot like my current bike black hornet 900 ....keep changing my mind

Personally I would go for the naked the bikini fairing on the cb1300 trashes the look for me.

Nice muscle bike.
 
Yeah it seems you either love the fairing version or hate it :) my brother thinks it looks dated but i kinda like the look ..like the old hondas from the 80s .... thanks for the comment tho .one. :)
Ther's a guy from japan on youtube who has some amazing bikes that come to his restaurant . nealry 12,000 videos

Took it for a ride and got pulled by a bike cop... brown nosing and being polite got me a away with just a stern talking to. It was a bum clenching moment.

Phew...
 
After breaking down 3 times yesterday I did a few tests with the multi meter and believe my reg/rec is dead so got to order a new one with a new battery to be safe.
 
I took her out for nice ride in the Scottish countryside. It feels great to get out in the twisty open roads instead of the monotonous commute to work.
 
Nearly **** on my seat. :o

Had one of those days today where you just feel part of the bike, Everything was going great & I was carrying more speed through the bends & really enjoying myself. Went up the A444 & then turned down the country lane way back & I have to admit to giving it plenty, I dipped into a few bends all was lovely until I got half way round a bend & saw the road full of damp & puddles. Had one of those arse clenching moments & just told myself to dip into it & not touch the brakes but I have to admit to my arse whistling dixie until I'd cleared the damp part of the bends. :p

I Love my bike. :cool:
 
^ lol

I hate those moments. Heart stops, bum clenches, brain think "smooth, don't **** this up"

I had one of these on my first day back on a bike after a few years, there is a bend down my road that has drains all across one side of the road (thanks local council...) it had rained a little recently and i was pootling round and noticed them whilst leant over ready....
Pretty much turtlehead poking out scenario.
 
After trying to do a U-turn with a pillion on my R1 with only 1,500 miles on the clock, feet on the pegs hit the lock stock too quick and the rest is history (about 15 successful U-turns in the week mind) - went down quicker than Titanic.

However no damage apart from a snapped peg, £10 to replace and I'll order a new crash bung as it now has a tiny scratch on it - No other damage! So them official Yamaha Bungs are epic products indeed. I thought the fat fairing would have touched down!
