Looked at the weather forecast and looked longingly at the Bike

And it went on and on and on

Decided the KTM was due some TLC after the weekends abuse by rider and weather.

1st a decent jet wash followed by a proper clean into all the little nooks.

Clean and lube of the chain.

Refreshed the rear brake fluid as it was black! (So easy to do after the RSV)

Had a look at the left end can. When I was riding the versys I noticed it was obscuring the rear light quite a bit. Whipped the rear fairing panels off and compared both mounts, the left one was off slightly but this was to accommodate the previous numpty who had fitted the exhaust strap the wrong way round

Blimey Stonesie - at first glance that looked like a burnt out bike!

I used the last of my snow foam on it lol probably a bit too much but it made it easy to clean.

or one on her way home from a bukkake party

I've seen women dressed as ponies at those parties, but never as motorcycles. Obviously a Brum thing....

Post by **Blade** » 11 Sep 2017, 21:18

You get to many of these parties then Deegee

Not the ones with motorcycles - just the ordinary ones it seems.....

Let me know if you get a +1

Wondered why the shift light kept coming on so early powering out of corners.

Got home and it's not the shift light it's Traction Control activated light

oooopps

Waved the zx10r off

Sad to see her go. Not with out problems but on her day she was a bloody absolute riot and I don't regret owning her I just wished she hadn't caused me so much upset

It's weird isn't it, feeling sentimental over a machine?

No.!
I love my beautiful little grey 675

...then again, perhaps you'll just suggest I've just reinforced your "weird" argument.

The Versys got an admirer today. A bloke in a Focus pulled alongside me on the M40 and give it the thumbs up with "nice bike mate"

Bless, she doesn't get many compliments.
