Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Just got back from RJS Superbikes. Had suspension set up and a quick power run up on the dyno. The bike feels loads better and not 'skittish' anymore on twisty bits. Seems to put the power down better too. I don't know if that's psychological or if it's because of some suspension....stuff. Anyway, here's my dyno print out:

The lines look pretty good, no obvious flat spots and a decent looking kick from 7,500 rpm.

Yep. I'm happy with the bike. More so now the suzzies have been tweaked. Very tempted by a K-Tech cartridge kit for the forks as the rear shock out performs the front by miles.

Checked it over and checked the tyre pressures for my weekend away in Exmoor this weekend.

The guy who dyno'd it commented on the same. All I have is Arrow cans and the relevant triumph map.

I see summer has ended
The collar wasn't up properly on my jacket so part of my shirt is wet. I want to go home.

Tried to take my wheels off, two calliper hex bolts stripped. B@stards, one each side!

Ah crap. That's not good.
Kwak have a nasty habit of not using grease when they put a bike together.

Not as bad as that dude, I meant I've stripped the allen heads on the bolts not the threads. Hammer time!

$10 a bolt!!!!!! Don't forget you need 'white grease' or something for those....and don't torque them or they will twist and snap off, causing death and dismemberment....twice.
I still want one of those titanium coffee cups.....I had one, but can't seem to find it??
