what have you done to your "bike" today

[agentpineapple]

had a great 200 mile ride today, lots of speed, lots of bends, great tarmac, stunning scenery, the bike didn't miss a beat. zero police, although I went through 4 or 5 cameras, thank feck for foreign number plates...
here's a few pics of my day

Your next to a hard roadside and you put your sidestand down on the grassy verge. If your not careful it will end up falling over again. I like the arty farty Yellow much better. Just don't fart too hard you might follow through

trust me, I made sure the ground was plenty hard enough to handle the side stand....
plus it was a corner so I couldn't park on the road itself...

How do you guys get away with taking the bike indoors

Polished my new headers up today. It's not exactly a mirror finish but it's a good start. I also cleaned the insides up with a toothbrush and some Surfex and it's amazing how much cleaner the insides are now so may well consider spraying the insides with a ceramic spray.





My arms are bloody aching now. I hate polishing up headers but it a good sense of achievement seeing the end result.

you can see in those pictures that the lengths of them have been changed over standard? they turned out well

Their halfway there. I'm going to get some 400grade wet n dry on them tomorrow and then some 1200. I'd like to get them a little cleaner, smoother and with less scratches before applying a lacquer. As they say, the better the prep, the better the finish. I do have some diffrent grade bars and diffrent grade buffing wheels for the drill but last time I used them it made and awful mess and I got covered in shite. I'm kinda of tempted to give them another go but may just stick to the wet n dry by hand. It is hard going though.

does it stop them going brown if you coat them? sick of polishing mine every few weeks

Left the storm alone today, been on it every day over the bank holiday , took the KR1 out for a blast , was contemplating selling it as im only getting to use it 2-3 times a year but then I get out on it and it puts such a smile on my face, I backtrack on that thought pretty quickly..
