Looks like an awesome little bike, he's a very lucky little Cav. I reckon it should reward you both with many hours of enjoyment.

New 58mm calibrated tamp
58mm portafilter funnel ring

The coffee machine upgrade has caused me to have to upgrade a bunch of stuff around it as I’ve moved from a 54mm to 58mm portafilter.

On behalf of Kiwi, who recently made some pretentious coffee purchases, I'll share my coffee purchases...

A moka pot and stainless steel hand grinder. I've had enough of instant coffee on the jet boil.

Some cheap hand guards from AliExpress, pretty impressed with the quality to be fair.

Arse to fit the throttle side as everything was in the way, got there in the end.Image

Yay, Amazon prime day

Cheap rugged smartphone that I can put on the bars of the enduro bike without worrying.

an echo dot as one room in the house didn't have one.

A 3/8 inch torque wrench, because I wanted one.

A nice big box with an AGV Tourmodular helmet inside from Spain

No import duty to pay so it was worth a bit of a wait to get it... I spent my saving on the integrated "Insyde" comms kit which is made by Cardo.
