Then sit back have a coffee/beer and admire your handiwork...and wonder why no Motogp team has been banging on your door to make their bikes look as good.

Far too windy for the bike today.

I'm gonna risk it or sit on a bus for over an hour with mongrels sneezing and coughing all over me.

It took over an hour and a half to drive into work today.

The joys of british roads

For me it was the fact my clothing still hadn't dried from yesterday.

The only thing actually water proof now is my helmet. I was fecking freezing riding home yesterday.

I'm so glad I invested in that kit. Despite the appalling weather I was bone dry when I got in. I did leave a big pool of water in the living room, wife wasn't very happy.

I got wetter locking the bike up than I did riding home.

Might be buying a nearly new stock rear shock for the kwak.

Bloke says it's only done 500 miles. I might upgrade the spring before I fit it.

Didn't leave the house till after 9.30 this morning and the sun was shining all the way to work, windy as feck but sunny lol

Don't pay more than £20.

What's up with the original ? If replacing it like for like I can't see the benefit as the original one won't have worn out yet. If you want a different spring, get a new spring fitted to your current shock. I may be missing something but what's the point of buying an identical shock to change the spring ? Just change the spring and save some money.

The old one has done 26,000 miles. I thought it would be sensible to get a second one and trick that up before fitting it.

Ktech revalved and resprung my rear shock on the gsxr and it transformed the bike,it only took a week turn around

Took it for a service and to get the chain and sprockets changed over. should be done in next couple days [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH]

Sorry mate I thought you meant for the SX, getting one for the 6 makes sense. Ktech as Perkles suggests are very good.

Enjoyed the dry and relatively quiet roads this morning

took the kxf250 out for a cheeky run up and down the road to my mates it felt so wrong

Edit > sorry I posted this here, I thought I was in "what did you get in the post" Thread... Doh!


New phone - Samsung A3 metal body. Downloaded the Samsung smart switch app to transfer all my data, what a simple process, been a long time since I have had to do this, so I was very pleased with the simpleness of it

Put the two phones side by side on the table, choose one as sender one as receiver, push the button and bobs your uncle, job done

So if you have my old number it is no good anymore...
