Re: The All New Megathread
We've had a bread maker for a few years. I usually put it on a timer so you wake to smell of bread in the morning. I use it to make pizza dough too.

Re: Tyre change
I haven't changed tyres myself since my first SV. That was my first bike with radial tyres and I struggled to break the bead.

Re: The All New Megathread
I did finally get out for an hour. Sun came out at 3pm only to disappear once I set off (and replaced by black clouds) about 20 minutes later. Managed to avoid any rain apart from one black cloud...

Diary is fairly empty this week. Just a dental check up on Thursday, plus all the usual household chores.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
First test ride today. It worked fine and it's was interesting to note how the pressures vary as the tyres heat up. It shows the temp too. The downside is that the display isn't bright enough to cope...

Re: 25 years
I look forward to seeing the model. Is it standard kit or are you making it from scratch?
