After I got the original order I asked if he could make one without headlight holes and he said yes so I ordered one, it's a different shade of red but I know someone who can get over that. It will do for Silverstone next week.
The shock is GP7 bought it off someone breaking their track bike.

Can you remember which supplier it was, Mick? I was looking for the 748 yesterday and there are quite a few different suppliers.

this is the guy I bought mine off, I got all the fixings and a screen as well for £370, they are not 100% perfect but for the money you cant complain.
On mine there are some tiny marks where the plastic must have come out of the mould that's all

Gave it a decent wash and top up with ACF50 yesterday. Spent a lot of time cleaning and lubing the chain and making sure it was spotless.

This morning rode into work. It's amazing how much difference a well maintained chain makes to the noise and response when you ride.

insured it ,MCE forgot to send me a reminder so ive been riding around with no insurance for a month For some reason I thought about it last night and rang them to check it out this morning
Went fully comp this year and upped the annual mileage ,all in including track day cover £400.00 not bad but another unexpected big bill this month
I plan to do quite a bit of riding over the next 3 months so glad its all sorted now

Did you stick with MCE?

Surprised you didn't get anything from the cops using those fixed anpr cameras - don't they send letters to those who scan without insurance? Could have got messy!

Yep it made me sweat a bit

fitted a de cat system to the multistrada.

Loads of bikes and scooters on the commute this morning. Is it take your bike to work day?

Thought about taking the multi to work today but changed my mind, which was good cos it pissing down now.

How does it sound now? Doe sit need any ECU adjustment or is the bike ok with the changes?

Fecking Loud !!! the guy I bought it off didn't have anything done to his, but most say it will need a ECU reflash. Only took it out for about 30 mins last night and it felt fine though a lot of popping etc on the overrun.

that looks nice

Looks good. I'll have a listen next time we meet up

Left it at home. I'm not riding in that rain.

Weather forecast said dry this morning,.

10 minutes into my ride I've pulled off the road and am sheltering under a covered walkway in front of shops, sat on my bike putting the rain collar on my jacket and tucking my gloves into my sleeves. The heavens really did open.

Thrashed the 999 round Silverstone today on the Ducati track day, the bike was superb !!
Had to stop when the thunderstorms turned up at 3.15

Left it at home. Forecast looks crap and the roads were clear this morning so I took the easy option.

I travelled some of my local roads, some how I managed to cover 110 miles!! Felt so good haven't been out on it for such a long time, I was starting to pull my hair out haha!!
