Went on one of those corporate driving days. Drove fast cars (Ferrari's, V8 Touring cars, single seaters etc) Then went home on the Speed Triple, no contest biggest smile was the bike every time
Put about 100+ miles on it yesterday, finally. Windy-ass day though. Found out a leather jacket I have is s!$% to ride in. Never again with that one!
Still waiting on the fooking flyscreen. This is starting to sound like the last guy I left it with. One more time and it's not ready, it's coming back home and I'll look elsewhere for painting...f!$%.
Taken it out last two evenings after approx 20 hours of dismantling, cleaning and rebuilding after getting caught in torrential rain weekend before last, f!$%ing weather.
Tonight a new first. Changed gear while on the back wheel for the first time ever (2nd to 3rd). It was slick, seamless and completely accidental, lol.
Got the panel and stuff that holds the flyscreen mounted to the sled. Tonight is SUPPOSED to be the time it's done being painted...gaaaahhhh...it better be.
Took the exhausts apart, unwelded them, polished all the insides and welded them back up again. Filtered and bleached the oil so it's a lovely gold colour again. Took the whole engine to bits so I could polish all the insides. Polished the inside of the petrol tank.

Fretty Merckx: That was only for starters. As the air leaves a bit of dirt on it each day, I strip it down on a daily basis and clean it, nay, respray it.

What a bodger. No attention to detail - you didn't even engrave the inside of the petrol tank.
did bugger all to the tona and trident. serviced the Dt 125 and hooned it around the local council estate like a 17 year old f!$% is that dep pipe loud
[ well them cnuts drive there saxos around my way wiv there bake bean can exhausts and sound systems on full blast]
They look bloody horrible, which is why mine are in a box in the garage, along with my pillion footrest hangers, full exhaust system and some other bits, lol.
Fretty Merckx: Larger indicators are better than small ones if you wish to reduce the risk of some numpty road user not seeing them.
Total bollocks. The size is irrelevant, what counts is how bright they are. Mine are a million times prettier than OE and brighter too, so not only do i get to look much sexier, people will see them better too (assuming they're looking and, let's face it, the reason most car drivers don't see things is because they're not looking).
Fretty Merckx: The square ones from the early 595/955 were the same as a Ducati 916
Makes sense, since for the styling they just copied the 916 fairing and left it in front of a fire for half an hour, lol...
1/ because someone snapped off my rear rh one at Gatwick, and it has been taped on for 20,000 miles. 2/ the left rr then got broke too, and taped up. 3/ the front right one still wears it's rockingham scars. 4/ the arrows are about £25 a pair, led's are about £55 plus cost of relay, 5/ i liked the overall look of 'em. 6/ i haven't seen anyone else do it. (there is probably a reason for this)
(i also found out today why ham/salad-cream/crisp sarnies haven't taken over the world too)
4/ the arrows are about £25 a pair, led's are about £55 plus cost of relay,
£16 per pair for my black ally Oxford Mercurys, come with plug and play resistors so a straight plug in fit (just need to put a pair of bullet connectors on teh OE wiring). Only minor hassle was having to cut the ends off my radiator cowl mounting brackets with my angle grinder, due to the unusual way the OE arrow ones mount.
He acted like a spinnaker.. lol
