Nothing today, but I did see this "bargain" on my Facebook feed...

Left it at home. It was hammering it down so I took the dry option.

How long do you reckon one of those cans would last? About 3 months?

Not today but recently fitted the Oberon billet, Clutch, slave master cylinder.

Absolute doddle to fit and made a huge difference to the clutch feel and much lighter action which is welcome when slipping the clutch of a large vtwin in traffic.

Very good modification and pleased with the result

You could have a different colour for every season, and cheap enough to get one every season too!

There is a massive selection on here, even cheaper........ full system £200 lol, cheap baffles £3..all your favourite names available, or failing that name plates to stick on blank cans......

Had the TC going off this morning. There's a roundabout near work and it's always covered in diesel. That with the rain mean the tyres on the AT struggled to get grip. Not much fun.

It's not insured for commuting.

And it's raining. I try not to get this one wet.

A bit of ACF50 on the Honda. I went to put some air in the rear and the bloody air line from the foot pump broke. It's fixed at one end so I need to replace the whole thing.

Got it very very wet. Its happened too many times this year .

New Boots

Shit journey home.

It was pissing it down and there was standing water everywhere. The Held gloves seemed to give up pretty quickly, the neck warmer got soaked and started dribbling down the inside of the jacket and as I got close to home the pinlock started to steam up.

The traffic was horrendous, not helped by HGVs using the third lane on A roads and the motorway

Near to home and the bike was handling like a pig. I put it down to shit tyres, the water and my being pissed off. But when it struggled to turn for me and sent me into the other lane I really wondered if it was worth riding a bike. I had to lean over the tank and motocross style yank the bars, put my foot down and accelerate through the corners. I was starting to wonder if I had a flat. That was confirmed when I got home and struggled to get the sidestand down.

You did well to get home by the sounds of it. What is it - it's massive.

I'll post a photo tomorrow of what it is.

Frankly I'm flabbergasted.

Glad you got home safe.

I was thinking about the bikers riding home in the conditions i was stuck in.

Glad your safe Kwacky.

Hopefully a £10 plug or an excuse for new tyres of your choice mate

A bath plug wouldn't be large enough for that hole.
