    I self isolated outside the garage this weekend. Took the tail tidy off the Bonneville and put the mudguard back and relocated the indicators. Sick of getting a wet arse when going through the slightest puddle. :mad:

    The CX500 will be coming home soon, so that should keep me going! :D

    I had a tidy up in the garage today to try and give me a bit more floor space, and also gave the bikes a good clean, again?

    I don’t ride it for fun! It’s small and light and is easier in London traffic than an fjr1300. It’s good on long runs too. It’s a good workhorse. As I’m representing the charity whilst riding it I have to be sensible so can’t thrash it, tracker fitted, but I’m sure it could be fun in a conservative way

    Looks good. The tail tidy thing really is form over function, nice if you only ride in the dry. I switched the stock long mudguard on my bonnie to the shorter version and even that sends a bit of flying muck up the back of it.

    The SE has shorter mudguards than the T100 as standard and I did like the look of the tail tidy but time for a change! :cool:

    I keep thinking of putting the mudguard back on Doris but with the motone light cluster and plate holder on, but it does look so nice with the tail tidy! Also thinking of taking the arrows 2-1 off and putting the preds back on! Sorry @littleade

    Whilst strictly not a bike job as such, over the weekend i re-roofed my bike garage with new ply and felt.
    Next job is to build a fold up ramp to the doors which will lock upwards to provide extra security as the doors aren't the strongest.

    Been charging the battery on the T595 but to no avail so waiting for new battery to arrive. Will also take all bodywork off over next couple of days for complete respray but no idea when it will get done as not essential work :sob:
