What did you do to your bike today ??

[TonyB]

Sprayed a couple of coats of satin black on my Street Twins clock bezel. I keyed and did 3 coats of primer yesterday.

It seemed rather strange riding in the daylight, I've not done it for a while.

Wants to go out on bike...Haven't touched it since beginning of month

[kiwikrasher]

I can barely see my bike. I unloaded the camper trailer so I could get in and do the wiring and all the stuff is stacked around my bike.

Kids are on school holidays till I go back to work so the ride Jess and I had on Saturday will be the only ride this break by the looks.

[Kwacky]

Almost had a blue on blue on the way home. Filtering through traffic and a car coming up to my right cut across t the left so I moved to the right to go round it. A bike in the other lane (3 lane road) and he cut across to his left. We spotted each other, I was ahead of him so he stopped and waved me through.

Icy ride this morning.

[Kwacky]

Yeah, there was frost on the roads this morning.

Those 01s seem to cope with the cold ok.

[D6]

Yes, I am very happy with paying that bit extra and getting the increased confidence in poor conditions.

[Kwacky]

D6, did you go to work yesterday?

I took the car. I'm glad I did. On the way home the wind and rain was so bad I had to pull over. I wouldn't have lasted on the bike.

Today me and my dad went to a place called Alresford Watercress railway line. Around 85 mile all in.

I was riding my dad's for most of it but I couldn't help but notice a huge bird (maybe a kite but u thought it looked bigger than that) fly up from the ground and sore along with me, I was only doing a low speed and it felt like he was following me even if it was for a second or two, it felt a lot longer, it was so big right next to me with a lovely view of the countryside beside us.

I think that was what topped the day off. Christmas Eve bike ride with dad, watched a steam train pull in and had that moment! Maybe I'm just over thinking it!!

Anyway a few pics of the train and station

[Kwacky]

Sounds and looks like a great day out

[duke63]

Rode it, albeit for a short while.

[duke63]

Took the Multi out for a thrash. Quiet and relatively dry roads.

[Kwacky]

Washed the textile jacket I use for commuting.

I've now got to remember how to get the armour and padding back in it.

[kingfixer]

Took the linings etc out of my arai and hjc helmets and put them in the washing machine on a cold wash, look and smell a lot better !!!!
Just got to try and get it all back in now.

Best way to wash them in my opinion.

[Rossgo]

Snow foamed then shampooed the bike. It was filthy literally had mud fall off onto the floor. Looks a lot better now but it's got no ACF50 on it so will have to go through it and spray a bit on. I also took her out for a quick spin around the block but came back with grit on her so decided to give it a quick spray down again! As a result the street is now an ice skating rink! Whoops!!

Not seen my bike for weeks now, last time was when I cleaned it. Missing getting out for a ride

[Kwacky]

we should have sorted out a Stow breakfast meet.

I cant right now mate I have done my back, I cant move, plus riding in this weather not ideal, especially in Oxfordshire, seems the icy roads are not getting the attention they need.
