A picture a day...biker banter (Vol 5)

[CoolHands]

I can’t shift the damn thing, don’t know why. Another price drop looming...

[podman]

realised there was no way I was going to get the KR at home this year so did some prep for long term storage unfortunately, drained the tank & carbs, put some 2Toil in the tank and down the bores, drained the gear box oil, popped some fresh in, wiped the chain down with 10/40 and whipped the fairings off for a real thorough clean...fingers crossed this time next year ill be able to get it back at mine.

She now has a DB5 to chat to when bored...

No updates on here since Thursday so thought I'd atleast keep it going

Rode with my brother a group to The Bike Shed in London today. What a place, quite quirky and felt I needed a tweed suit, a beard and a cafe bike but it was very welcoming

It's like a social club for adults. Get ya hair cut, watch moto gp on a projector, buy clothes, eat and drink... Its all there

The cool bit was riding through the place as such to go into a bike park round the back





I took quite a few pics but won't upload without dropping the resolution for here

Love that. What a massively cool place.

Picked up a new bike last weekend, lovely weather for it, managed nearly 300 miles, just a few more to go before i can start using it properly.

tailtidy fitted and rear pegs removed.



Looking forward to a sunny bank holiday weekend now

Nice ride out into Yorkshire this morning.

My first bike after the RG & TZR125's in that exact colour. That won't be the exact bike though because I hit a telegraph pole with it.

Lovely condition and awesome company for storage. Is it on a RAF base by the way??

The visitor's bikes look reassuringly normal. Must wander in there before too long / before LEZ kicks in / before Central London Zombie Apocalypse kicks off.

[leighz]

must sound fantastic when you fire an engine up in there

I’m one of them. I’m still waiting for you to teach me so I can be as cool as you!

McKean can't wheelie either, so you're in good company.

FUUUUUUUCK YOOOOUUUUU BN

You never know, a couple of years back we spotted a mint bike at a show and one of my friends recognsied the plate, he had owned the bike in the 90s and had written it off after T boning a car...

No, its not on a military base of any sort , always enjoy my visits there thou.

Quick blast tonight. I did struggle a bit with the position on this bike but sorted it now after buying an old knackered seat and taking it to Tony Archer for him to sort out for me. I wanted it building up as the position was very cramped on the legs but a long stretch to the bars. I didn’t envisage it being built up quite so much but it’s spot on. Much more leg room and a shorter reach to the bars making it much easier to move around.

That looks a bit odd but as long as it solves the issue and you still have the original its a win, I need to get mine done as discussed last time we were out but going to wait till I go away in June now as I'm out on the bike every other day now its warmer, have you got the new shock for it yet?

Yeah I think it looks a bit crap to be honest, doesn’t suit the bike at all. Ultimately I’d rather be comfortable so I’ll have to put up with it! For the £30 it cost me to do I’m happy.

Shock arrived on Thursday last week. Not had chance to fit it yet but will do soon.

[Krikkit]

I think that looks alright, the original just had scooped-out seats.

Spent an afternoon detailing and taking photos for the for sale ad... Price now dropped to below $10K including the private plate (LITRE) Just had 36,000Km service so just about run in!
(Given my location hopefully this won't be seen as advertising!)
