Fitted a lovely titanium Scorpion powercone to my '15 Gladys. Tried it without the baffles - bit noisy - so keeping them in for now. Still sounds great and seems to pull a bit more between 50 - 80 mph. Expensive, even with 10% discount from Ghostbikes, but I've already been down to my garage twice just to look at it......so worth every penny! Hopefully a couple of pics below:

I've just ordered a Scorpion CF Serket for my SK5, 20% off on M and P for black Friday plus another 10% off all Scorpion exhausts. I think I'm going to be the same as you probably just sit and stare at it for a while.

My flashgun. The pop-up flash on my DSLR is OK for a bit of fill-in but it's not suitable for properly lighting a subject. I also chose a model that has wireless release so you can position it away from the camera pointing in from a different angle to alter the lighting. After reading the manual a few times I eventually worked out the right sequence to make just the remote flash or both the remote and pop-up fire. Cool. Time to think of some creative situations to use it in.

Bought a Chromecast so that's my latest tinker toy. Anyone know any good apps for it?

Livecasting looks good for streaming anything from your phone.

Today was a bad day. I tried to have a go at bleeding my front brakes and broke both bleed nipple so iv ordered some banjo bolts with nipples. Tried to fit my hugger but had a screw in the old chain guard siezed too. Managed to change the oil without much fuss and the only good point of today took out a k@n filter I didn't know it had so that's getting a clean up tomorrow in work

Started to fix the crash damage from Almeria. Straightened the rearset, fitted new footpegs, replaced the rad, replaced the clipon, cleaned and oiled the chain, packed the end can to go for repair. Need a R6 throttle tube, new renthal grips, make a rear brake lever, need a front brake lever.
