UK guys chances of winning Battle of the bugs= Zero

Battle of the bulge! Different story ✌️

Yes, British fat bastards are the fattest in Europe  we ARE good at some things

After receiving the parts (gearshift shaft, cam plate, return spring and a few more little bits) a week earlier than announced I put everything back together yesterday and went for a test ride (115 km). No more scratchiness when shifting

Also blocked the PAIR again (un-blocked for emission testing). Runs certainly smoother, at least sound-wise.

Would have liked a longer trip but heavy thunder storms are a distinct possibility. Had a big one yesterday. The mall in out biggest city in the county is still out of action. The area where I would have liked to ride today (Eifel) saw up to 80 liters. Normally I would not have risked it but I had to relieve the withdrawal symptoms after not riding for 3 weeks.

I spent another weekend on Bute & did a lap of the SW Highlands while I was up there. My bug collection after 850ish miles is slightly better than the last one posted...
You don't want to know how long it took me to wash all the ones in my beard out either.

Fresh protein is good for you right? that's what I tell the girls anyway!

I had to keep stopping to scrape my sunglasses clean & later on the clear ones. Riding with that light at night was fun, it was like looking down a kaleidoscope with the odd spots of light still getting to the road.

Now that is buggage!

[KiwiCol]

Damn fine effort there Hooli, well done.  You're leading the "Best Buggage" pics. That'll take some beating. 

[Mister Fishfinger]

Ok, sand has now been well and truly kicked in my face.

Hi Northern,
I don't know if the fixings are the same spec as the Nissin's but I have a brand new set of stainless you can have for postage if you wanted them 
They've never been on the bike as I'm sure you are aware Black is ma ting

[northern]

Thank you for offering, Red.
Which do you mean? Those, which are joining 2 caliper sides together? In this case I will go my usual way - get A4-80 stainless allen bolts from local shop and give them some buffing shine

If something else - PM me a picture
