Continuing - So what did you do to your bike today...?

[Hooli]

I've done thousands of miles on temporary tyre plugs, often the same plug. I think one lasted over 4k till the tyre was worn out.

For me stuck in the middle of nowhere it was either fix it myself or wait up to 4 hours for the flatbed truck to arrive..

[Speedy1959]

Had a thought..
Being keen to grasp an atom of positivity I think before the wheel goes back in I will remove the swing arm, clean the bearings (white spirit) then thoroughly re grease them.
I was planning on doing it in the springtime anyway.
So subject to Saturday morning being dry I shall do it then.

Newly painted tank back on , tea bag changed, inline filter added and a gallon of petrol - she started after being stood for 3 months ( and yes I DO USE A BATTERY CHARGER lol ) - a wash 2mrw if its dry and not too cold then perhaps a few miles 

[stick3]

gave it some love  i mean oil and filter  change 

[Kiwifruit]

Put some new rear pads in her....... naughty boy got caught out by that rear pads are worn out noise. Gave myself a stern telling off for that one.

Kiwi, just too many things on your mind, 2 bikes would make me forget stuff. searching for new rear axle nut myself, refuse to pay stupid price. 25mm is just hard to find. searched every bolt/nut place in the world. 50 bucks just seems too much for a bloody nut.

Hey Grog,
Think I have an oem one you can have for postage cost, let me know if interested and I'll get a price for you?

Cheers
Red

Thanks heaps Red. Stored in my brain. Still not sure if i want a fancy one or not. Nothing really wrong with mine just a normal 11 yr old axle nut. Bit dull & used. Stainless cover on sprocket & polished adjuster blocks make it look even duller. Do those nice shiny ones stay that way or mark up with socket? I like the ones that look like they have diamonds in them. Of course ill get real diamonds if i buy one. 😂

[Red Biker]

No worries Grog, just let me know.
Mine are now Black with Black nut and bolt 😀

Picked jacket up from Tailor after having badge sewn on - she wasn't happy said leather too thick and jacket too heavy !! 

[Red Biker]
