Or stained glass.? ( although I suppose that could come under leading)

Too the 748 for a run out to Tamworth, found some new roads which joined up nicely with the B4098 dorm to Fillongley. Stopped for a drink at a fuel station and couldn't stop a guy who wanted to talk about my bike. Lovely morning, warm and sunny all the way.

Its now hoofing it down with rain at home.

Rattled it around the roads of Rutland.

My rear brake line gave way. I need to remove the line and wash the bike.

I think I remember you saying they are not braided? I assume it's perished ?

Yeah, it's gone.

Time for a set of braided

If it s just a rear you need Kwacky mate I think biker discount store do individual liners for £20 which is a bargain.

Ha I was soldering silver it's a wet day hobby of mine when I can't get out I solder

Got out early and the roads were quiet and free.

Managed to have a bimble through Wantage , East Ilsley ,Compton and a few other roads which some were dead ends

Stayed clear of the Cotswolds as was pretty sure it would be heaving, Mr BB did that route and stumbled across a scooter rally at Bourton. Cant say I didn't warn him.

Not a great distance approx 80 miles but 80 miles of freedom and stress relief and was great to get out.

Bike is looking filthy and was in 2 minds to give her a clean, but thought bugger it back into the she cave and it will get done another day

Hope everyone had a good one if they went out today and hope all returned safely

Blade, I'm going to get the full set. I may as well. I prefer them to rubber hoses.

Biker Discount Store give us a discount so I'll give them a call tomorrow.

OK cool just thought info could be useful

It was, thanks.

Hel Lines for all round ordered. I've gone for the race two line set up rather than the stock split line.

Feck all I've missed it,if it's dry tomorrow I'll take it for a blast.

Got it wet. Needed to get the rear suspension checked out as the MOT pulled up a worn bush. It is indeed worn and needs to be replaced pronto.

Also got them to noise check the cans. Ahem, bit fruity is an understatement. I reckon I would get kicked of the track at a noisy day. Going to look at fitting some baffles behind the end caps to tone it down a bit.

Interestingly though, the guy said he wouldn't have a problem MOT'ing them as he's more interested in safety than whether I can change to standard cans.

cleaned it as i got all dirty the other day

Once you've finished come round and do mine please, it's disgusting

Fitted a special bracket that is supposed to help tighten the gear change on the rc8, quite a neat bit of kit and easy to install

They do help a little and look cool IMO.

Yes looking forward to trying it out,I can see how it stiffens things up .Was going to try it out last night but it poured down
Have you seen this months performance bikes ?

Had a chat with a white van man at a set of lights. He was jealous I hadn't sat in the two mile tailback like him and the other cagers. Fair play to him, he wasn't being an arse.

Better than the one when we set out for the IoM a couple of years ago from yours who tried to run us over on the pershore road
