Cameras fitted but still got some bits to add, waiting for Crash bars to arrive then fit but should have that done by the end of this week.

First Blood Bike shift. Finished this morning.
Took me seven hours to work out the FJR had heated grips.

Got my RT back from the dealers . That R18 courtesy bike crippled me. Now am back to comfort and have a big windsail in front of me again.

Well done Mike Bet you muttered something when you found out about the grips

That's how I feel when I ride on either of my Harleys after a spin on RT.

AHHHH but is it a copy?

"And now for something completely different."

My GSX1100EF has a bit of cracks on front end dust seals and the whole front end is rather soft and tired.

So I was looking at springs and what else was needed when my buddy since early 70's called from dealer informing that he has an alternative solution: a full NOS front end which has been sitting on warehouse shelf for the past 35 years or so.

Price difference was minor so of course I chose that.

Nice

I did something really terrible today. I washed my bike . Then even worse i polished it. I know this is going against the code of being a BMW motorcyclist but i am willing to take any punishment that may be apon me by the higher powers. I hereby promise not to do this again to any BMW bike that may have the misfortune to own from and every.





P.s
Until the bike gets dirrrty again like Christina.

I was working on my GS (the Japanese one) doing various stuff as it has been sitting in the previous owner's garage for the past five years.

Five year old gas smells really bad.

And then I ran onto this.

Meet a nice chap at Whiteways cafe yesterday. He told me the garage he usually uses is really busy. He said he had the parts in his top box and his front wheel bearing really needed doing. After an hour or so chat, i told him if he is really in a rush i can change them for him.
Anyway, he turned up at my home this morning. Within an hour i had changed his bearings and seals. They were rusty and gritty. After another cup of Tea, he passed me an envelope. Taking in mind never mentioned that i would charge him. He rode off happy and after i put my tools away. I looked inside the envelope and found a note and some money. It said this is the price my mechanic was going to charge me and a big thank you. So am £120 better off and may have found a tour companion.
