Spent my evening lying on my back..


But I now have working washer jets on the family bus again, sodding Renault Scenic...
Wasn't much fun going down the motorway the other day and being able to see less than when on the bike.


God bless track pumps. Clears the pipework lovely.

I've bought a bike sat nav, the Garmin 660. So I've spent the evening fiddling about with all the settings. Come the weekend I'll wire it into the bike, just need to get the bare wires and connectors crimped, and as I don't own any crimpers I shall be fluttering my eyelashes at the company electrician tomorrow and asking for his assistance.

drilling out disc buttons and scuffing the rotors then installing serviceable buttons.

why am i doing this.. coz i'm board and i want to


only joking.. i have done it because i got cracked crinkle washers and it was causing vibes so i'm giving this a shot to see if it works rather than buying new discs. i have two sets of discs so if it works i will have 2 sets of discs again, one set for each front wheel i have (i have a swapout wheel)
