I love it when it annoys people. They don't understand the other stuff we do have to put up with though (weather, dangers etc)

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I gave it a good clean and lubed the chain and left it in the trickle charge while I was away but thought I'd take it for a quick blast and get some air in the tyres as the sun was shining, got to the garage 5 mins away and the fecking heavens opened up and I got fecking soaked.
I get knocked down but i get up again.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Thanks to Dnutz and his assortment of tools for the job, I managed to get the chain off and replaced. I have to say I will be investing in a dremel, perfect for getting an old chain off, felt like a right hero with sparks flying off all over the garage ha ha.
Managed a short 70 mile trip out into the country to make sure it all holds together... man the bike pulls like a train now... If I had been pulled tonight they would have thrown away the key...ha ha
Cheers Jon

Your welcome mate. Glad you got the bike sorted.
Everyone should have a dremel, fantastic tool.

Oil + filter change and a reasonably quick hour or two round the leicestershire lanes in the sunshine - lovely

Rode into work, wishing I had the day off as it looks like it's going to be a nice summer's day.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Rode to work with my Cam for the 1st time, had a quick look at the footage, obviously just a boring commute but looks pretty good, looking forward to seeing it on a big screen, cheers for the advice of putting it on the fairing mate, looks good, wanna try and mount it on the tank at some point for a different view but will keep experimenting,

I can't mount mine on the tank as I've got a black screen so you can't see anything.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Ive got a clear screen but a massive dip in the tank so doesnt sit too well, found a good spot but im worried when I tuck in my helmet will catch it so need to check it all out when I get home later, maybe look at mounting to my helmet, Im just a bit sceptical as I have 2 helmets I switch between So I dont wanna be limited to which one I use

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Finished work early so took it for a bimble. Good.
Lots of Friday traffic. Bad.
Beautiful weather. Good.
Coast Road was bumpy, gravelly and covered in sploshings of diesel. For frickin miles. Bad.
Stopped bimble mode and attacked the last 25 minutes home. Frickin awesome!
