Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Realised that the Multi hasn't even been started for over 6 months so ran it up and gave it a heat cycle. Battery is on a tender so started fine.
Did the same with the GB, was tempted to take it for a quick spin before heading off to the hospital but my right foot is half numb now too so I didn't want to risk not being able to find either brake!

Unbelievably greasy roads this morning. It was not a pleasant ride into work.

I was getting the bike ready to clean the chain when I found a nail in the rear tyre.

It's got 4500 miles on it and is starting to square off. I need a new front anyway so I might as well get a new pair.

I'm going to need a new pair of tyres when the weather warms up..
I keep thinking I should change from m7's, but they're just such a good tyre..

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I m putting a pair of Michelin RS on today Nutz. I'll let you know what I think off them if your interested.
There an alternative to the m7rr and I got some good recommendations to go for them so hopefully a decent road tyre.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I hate how horrible the roads are this time of the year. Really greasy and covered in crap. I had to wash my lid last night as it was filthy. I dread to think what crap I breath in during the commute.

Loads of wheelspin and TC input as I tried to pull away too quickly from a set of lights with an SVR next to me.
Needless to say the SVR made a better getaway.
Sounded nice as well.

Off to JHP to get the new sprag clutch parts.
I bought a mains powered impact driver yesterday in the Machinemart VAT free promotion, it whipped the flywheel nut off in seconds.
