Now you can start modifying it.....Game on
And although you only have the one hand working, don't waste those weeks off work- get ordering.....there's a cafe racer in there if you try hard enough!
You'll still be at Yorkshire, though, right?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Can't ride for at least 4 weeks, I rode 30 miles home afterwards and I can't describe the pain
Cafe racer? I ain't no hipster

When you've had the piss taken out of you by your former friends, been battered senseless by a braindead moron because you "look stupid", had a girl you fancied laugh and point then walk away still laughing, and have your workmates put a picture of you dressed like that on the canteen wall, and your dad tell people he doesn't know you, you're only a lodger in his house, and your mum tells the neighbour it's just a phase.
Then you can knock it.

LoL.
When's the phase going to end Tony[SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]
Virt You plonker. I told you high heals and a hand bag wasn't proper attire for on a bike. Looks like you found out the hard way and got trampled in a sale [WINKING FACE]

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Decided to put the rider TRX back together, I'll pull the engine out of the spare bike if it ever blows up. Refitted the R6 shock, put the back wheel in and adjusted the chain then pulled the rear mastercylinder apart and serviced it then bled the rear brake and took it for a blast - lovely jubbly!

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Fitted a Pyramid plastic undertray with built-in lights and indicators onto the SP2.
It's better, but I still need the Duckhunter Composites carbon one from Canada.
One day....
No pix; if you want to see it come to Yorkshire next weekend.
I'll be in the Yorkie Bar, but the bike'll be outside.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today
Beautiful ride around Peak District, popping in to Ladybower Reservoir (they have toilets!) for coffee & chocolate stop.
It was only when I got home for the ritualistic bike washing that I noticed the lefthand silencer had rotated round! (probably after last weeks 400 mile trip. Duly fixed)
Got to think where to go tomorrow....
