made and fitted some footpeg riser plates to the race bike, changed the old standard fork oil for new race oil, made some brackets for the race seat unit and fitted body work, bled rear calliper.

Legend.. I've not been able to find them anywhere. I know what my first phone call of the day is going to be. :)


On the mileage question, to be honest mate I have no idea. I had to check back on the old site to work out when they where fitted, Aug 2012. With that in mind they have done 2 IOM trips and a fair few other trips out.

Thought it was a bit too good to be true. They have just set the page up ready for when the tyres are released, somehow google has found the page even though its not linked to from within their site.

(nod) very helpful. Replied in under 30 mins giving an idea of when the tyres will be available, and also some advise to get them back ordered.

Left it at home as I am going for a run after work, and it's meant to be raining and I can't be bothered to shower at work and put my ggear on.

Im normally a fair(ish) weather rider, but the Mrs needed the car today so it was bike in rain, or public transport. I was no way gettin on a train, so simple decision for me

I have lost all confidence in using it as a pop out to shops or go to GFs now which is a shame as I used to love riding in majority of weather's coz I'm not a pussy like Kwacky lol! But now I just use her for ride outs and the car gets used everyday...no fun looking forward to a ride out :-)
