Rode the triple
washed the triple
Took the old rearsets off the SX

Ask the missus to take you out back and give you 50 lashings with that rusty chain for services inappropriate to correct bike maintenance

Looking at those pics, 50 isn't enough.

This probably would be a bad time to mention that I've done worse. The first year coming back from the IoM the bike started lurching really badly when on a flat throttle, accelerating was fine as was decelerating. When I checked out the chain a few days later at least one of the casings had completely failed...


Since then I've been much better at looking after my chain

I would crush you both and your bikes too.

Appalling behaviour ......

Im actually considering a good clean for it before putting it back together. Its going to have to wait though. Ran out of time. And i get picked up for stanstead airport tomorrow evening. Flying to Italy to visit Arrow specialist parts (exhaust)

Back on the SX for the commute.

It's easy to forget how deceptively quick that bike is.

Sold one of them..

The track bike?

Yep.

I'm going to see how bad a dealer part-x would be before advertising the RSV.

Nice one Nutz. Good to hear you secured a quick Sale. Hopefully the dealers are more interested in your buisness than adding you to their rape statistics

Hope you get sorted soon ready to enjoy the season ahead

Put a new fairing set on the track bike. Purchased new Alpha seat unit, and fitted. Changed the oil.
Cleaned and polished, looks mint. Also placed my new Tank slap decals onto the bike.

Actually went for a little ride yesterday afternoon, been ages due to one thing and another.... blasted past a copper coming the other way, (pretty quick ) Saw his brake lights come on......made my exist
Took a quick look at the new Trumpet,,,, I am liking the look of that.

Packed the track bike off to it's new owner.

Replaced the rear master on the RSV, started bleeding the brake and the bleed kit broke now with a totally non-functional brake!
