Re: What have you tinkered with today?

That’s a good shout. It’s hanging at 90° and doesn’t look great.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

I’ve fixed the Optimate to the garage ceiling so I don’t trip over the trailing wire two or three times a day.

Only took 10 minutes but now feeling unreasonably pleased with myself. [emoji3]

My new bike : Fugly or Rolling Art?

Just swapped my R Nine T for this 2018 Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen.

First of all you need to tackle the looks. It’s not like anything else and definitely not for everyone.

Personally I love the...

Re: Why would rear dampers only be listed for '03 to '07

Not aware of a difference from 08 on. You could send Ohlins an email. They list it the same on their own website but might be able to tell you if there’s a particular reason for that

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Nice. I was just reading Bike’s write up from last month and they loved it too.

They reckoned the R was a better all-rounder for the road than the RS. It has a clearer dash, that you might like,...

Re: The Veg Plot.

The back of the shed door can be a handy place for a few bits and pieces.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?

Added some crash bars to the R NineT because those cylinder heads looked vulnerable.

I thought they might stick out like a sore thumb.

They do make the bike (even) wider but blend in with the...

Re: Garage Storage

It was a sample of PVC interlocking floor tiles but, yeah, I’m using it as a coaster. [emoji851]

The last one had an oak top too and it does end up black eventually.

Re: Scottish bike show SV650 caferacer

I sold that too Darren. A lad came up from England for it. I basically sold everything to make space.

I’ve now got a bigger garage and wish I’d kept everything!
