Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Tried out the new Garmin camera this morning. Whilst the view from the bars isn't perfect as it has half the screen in frame, the footage itself is excellent.
I took the Mutley down the B4364 from Bridgnorth and then looped round back through Cleobury Mortimer and along the B4363 back to Bridgnorth. Great ride down there as always though the road surface on the 4364 is in desperate need of repair in many places.

Washed and waxed it after yesterdays fun, it really does need a full fairing off clean but I can't be arsed at the moment it can wait until I've got more time.
Bled the rear brake again as it stopped working again
The rearsets where supposed to fix that, but I might blame myself for doing a crap job when I fitted the pads..

Yep. Apparently all they did was drill a hole in the master cylinder and install a bleed nipple. Not really a fix.
The only fix was to move the master away from the engine. Actually that reminds me, it could be the brake line as that got scorched against the exhaust after I fitted the rear sets.
