Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

It's funny when I ride to work the route I do there's a few bikes on the route and most of us filter most the way but when they see a police car or van at the front of the traffic they panic and pull in behind a car where I just pootle along side them and give them a nod.

Provided you filter in the right places you're fine. I'm pretty sure the Police want to see us making good progress on our bikes.

Today I.....picked my bike up!

and its a stunner

Smart bit of kit. What year is it?

Nice bike Jim looks forward to seeing it in the Mid Wales ride out. Always liked black machines they looking stunning IMO.

Looking very nice, kinda keep casting my eye over 675's thinking maybe...

It's on an 08 plate Kwacky. Sounds quite nice and seems to go pretty well. Just have to remember which lever does which again etc now

Nice bike, Jimmy. The early 675's have future classic written all over them.

Nice bike mate I like the stealth look.

Thanks for the comments guys. Absolutely loving being back on a bike

Love the 675 a great bike, when you come to look at adding bits (as you do ha ha) worth checking out 675.cc (http://www.675.cc/675/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) always full of bits and a good knowledge of everything 675

Sorted it wooo!

Nice one mate glad its all ready to roll

Added a few more running in miles and stopped for a quick photo op, well why not, almost got flatten by some big old traaaaaactor! Serves me right for parking in front of the gate




Which leads me to a polite notice to all.
Its that time of the year again where the roads are being dressed as they call it. Watch out for the loose chippings, and plums coming the otherway as 100 mph scattering the chips all over you

Its harvest time, so watch out for heavy plant, tractors, combines etc... coming out of entrances you did not even knew existed in the fields. I watched tonight as a tractor had to slam on his brakes pulling out as a car came around the corner real quick bearing in mind he has to get out with a massive trailer behind him.
Just be extra careful peeps.

Started to fill the stone chip on the nose cone thus trying to flatten it and fetching the paint out

Been given some hardener by a smart repair repairer on trust that I'll return it

Its doing the trick, I just need to be a little more patient but its working

Is the screen std on your bike mate ?

Left it in the garage again coz the bastard wouldn't start, turns over but no spark, started fine last time I used it which was only about 2 weeks ago, fed up now

rode it to work on the wets roads ,I thought there was a heat wave coming today

Roads are dry now so I'll have a little play on the way to work
