i gave mine a clean and a polish yesterday, poor old thing had been neglected for a while
Mine has cobwebs all over it, but it's going to rain tonight, so I won't bother cleaning it lol

Just replaced my Homehub 5 with a Netgear 6400. Hoping it will stop the dropouts..

Fixed the broken part of my fairing lower, bit of expoxy and some aluminum mesh to give it some strength, as the last repair didnt even make it onto the bike.

fitted these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1818709478...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT much much easier than the old type and plug directly into the OEM loom. one this is that you will still need to run a live from ignition live to keep them on while the main/flash is being used otherwise they will turn off, i think as i have not tried.

You do realise that your underpants will spontaneously explode if you use them....

Rear brake light switch not working on the viffer. Switch is fine but the spring had fallen off. Ordered a new switch anyway as it doesn't look long for this world. Gave me a chance to remove the heat shield as it was rusting and needs repainting.

Mate brought 2 non running klx250's the other day for the daft price of £600. They got delivered to mine this evening as he made me deal. If I sort one out for him (he pays for parts) I can have the other for £150 ☺
Ones leccy start the other is kick start, both wiring looms look as though a 4 year old has been at em with scissors! Got the leccy one fired up within 10 mins, ticks over fine but splutter when rev'd. So I'll be doing LOT's tinkering over the next few months.

fitted givi rack today.. its a bit fiddly at points and takes a bit of pulling and pushing to get the plate on but once done its solid. hopefully pick up a box on sunday. kriega tail pack has been great but its nippy with all the clips and zips and i was always checking to see if i had left it open or undone. now i can just throw everything in a box
