Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

And the answer to prevent these kind of problems? Be like me and ride all year round. My K3 lives out all year round, mostly without a cover so the rain can wash away the salt.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

We also invested in Solar but with the current rates, it isn't really worth it now. The electricity generated from the roof is used to power stuff in the house thus reducing the amount taken from the...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Wow Tim, £170 a month is steep. I live in a 4 bed detached house with gas central heating and only pay £79 a month. We saved a lot on electricity by changing all the light bulbs to LED's.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

That'll happen. I have a Givi double bubble screen on my K3. There is a stretch of country A road on my way home with no hedges or trees either side. Any kind of strong wind from East or West will...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Not tinkered myself, as I have no mechanical aptitude. Somebody on here (I think Bibio) mentioned that changing the fork oil would be a good idea on an older bike, As the bike is 14 years old and due...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Trev, my last contract at age 55 was in 2003 in Germany after IR35 stalled contracting. As I was financially secure and pretty much tired of the work by then I just took another year off and then...

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Just look on the bright side Trev. More time to yourself. I had 2 periods of 1 year without work when I was contracting. It prepared me for retirement.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

I bought the old version (twice). A nice feature of the old one and not on the new version is the cut out near the end of the lever. It meant that if you did drop the bike, as I did, the lever breaks...
