Fitted centre stand to my bonny easier to get it up on stand than I thought,great,also fitted Ram mount ball using one of handlebar bolts,cleans up the handlebars a treat,all ready to go,just trying to think where to go??
Polished the Bonnie ready to go on the Essex Air Ambulance run on Sunday from Ford Dunton to Harwich - about 2,000 bikers have pre-registered, so should be a good day as well as raising money for this excellent organisation. Anyone else on here going ?
Just been out for a last blast on the TS before packing and leaving the Dordogne tomorrow morning to catch the overnight ferry home from Caen. Can't complain to much, the temps been in the 30's all week
Fitting new brake pads front and back this weekend, as always will give the calipers a deep clean and lube. Then the chain, clean, lube and adjust Also the tyre pressures as they are both a tad low. Then record the new fuel map and save it on the computer using TuneECU While I am in TuneECU I would do a new TPS reset, always a good idea. I may then spare some time to look at the car as it has a warning light on, (looks like I may need to clean out the ERG valve which gets stuffed full of carbon) but that will only get looked at if I have time after sorting my bike out I am trying to get my 11 year old son involved, but he just isn't interested in motorbikes...I am doubting he is of my blood!!!
For sure, thought I would get the scott oiler bungs tank pad etc done while their doing the service. Went to buy the jacket and to use the 15% off voucher that they give you when you buy your new bike .... Only to be told I should of brought my original invoice with me FCS !! I only bought the bike a week ago... It made my piss boil
C J Autos really good quality unit, was sent next day but as we are in the sticks it took a extra day, but they were on the ball chasing the courier for me. Nice folks I had one in the late nineties but this is far superior and quite heavy duty.
Staffordshire Triumph relented it was just a jobsworth trying to hard to stick to their rules, when it was evident I had only had the bike a week!! Paddy got it sorted so new Jacket just in my size (fat bastard size)
Turns out I bought the mirror image caliper that was for the singled sided swing arm model so have arranged to send it back...when I get it. The only options seem to be ebay or new ( l.o.m.) got one off ebay . only seemed to be 2 on there
In the process of.... changing the coolant hoses. Problem found, original expansion pipe clips don't fit the new hose No rush, I'll source a new one later. New brake lines will be next, keep watching folks...
