Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Took the Multi out for an evening ride last night. Not been on any bike for 3 weeks and the Multi even longer. I tweaked the front rebound after the last time i went out and the bike felt a whole lot more stable and much easier going into bends...or maybe it was just me.
Either way I had a lot of fun and managed to get both wheels off the ground on a few undulations
Funny how sometimes a ride makes me feel like a riding god. Might try again this week before it starts getting to dark in the evenings.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I have found evenings a good time to ride as traffic is lighter and for some reason unknown to me if it's wet in the day it's normally dry by evening.

You might be able to get a fuel cap froma cheapy chinese knock off that fits. The Austin racing caps look very similar.

Did about 300km on tarmac, gravel, mud, grass, sand, leaves... You get the idea.

Probably more appropriate to rename it "Over grown footpath bike"

you'd have thought with their new premises that it'd of been tarmacked!
Sadly that's the shared access too my garage so it's a little overgrown!

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Well got the bike back today from Ducati after having the exhaust valve sorted, when I cleaned it tonight on closer inspection it looks like the whole thing has been replaced, they also said the brake fluid in the rear brake was re done as it wasn't functioning properly, so that will be mine and hundreds of others as well

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Nothing to the bike, but I'm a step closer to riding it again.
Picked up some leathers of Gumtree. Alpine stars 2 piece suit, in good condition and never been down the road. £120 with a pair of summer gloves.
Will keep me going until I've got enough spare cash to buy new ones.
