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

[froudy]

I'm on the middle night shift at the mo, one more to go tonight. Minus two riding home yesterday morning. Hands toasty warm in my RST Thermotech gloves 

ACF 50 highly recommended. I've been using it on my GSX for 6 winters now and its doing its stuff well. I bought a quart? Bottle and in all that time haven't even used half of it yet..A little goes a long way!

[VladTepes]

I booked mine in for a service, does that count as doing something 'to' it?

"well,had it booked in for lots of work(new bits),then,some work(re-plug in cower-pomander),then today ultimately,chickened out ,and rode home those oh-so long mile an' a half(more if there are roadworks!)home to'throw my legs in the air and wallow in my own crapulence'(to paraphrase(to drunk to remember)Mr Burns) and rejoice in my l  o  n  g  weekend(Yay!")May only be trip to the seaside(nearly 3 miles!)

[Sweaty]

then,some work(re-plug in cower-pomander),

Is that something to do with an English Cow 

[grog]

Sioux, great name, love it. Understanding your post just a bit difficult, other words, i have no idea of what you mean.

[KiwiCol]

Down 6-8 pints Grog, then it makes purfekt scense . . .

As the first of the Winter salt has just been put down on the roads, I'm just off outside to wash the bike down and give it a good dose of ACF50 as I'll be riding all Winter this year.

Today the 14 was ridden, makes me smile, just a great bike. Tonight ive re arranged so i can ride Diavel in morning. So used to 14, know how it works. Diavel is very different. Keyless start, have to do a few things im not completely confident with. Very strange not pulling clutch lever to start, guess we get used to things. Mate was opposite, couldnt believe you need to pull clutch in to start 14.  Wish me luck. Push this, Pull this, hope my old head remembers. Stuck in sport mode, full 162 bhp with traction control and ABS cancelled. Sounds good to me.

Sounds like a walk in the park ! ......

Mate, no ABS or traction on 14, why use it? Early to bed, up early to try that Italian power. Im sure ill manage.

[Kiwifruit]

I'm sure you will enjoy it 

[northern]

MOT for my 14, and put it on hold, till spring.
Prefer to pass MOT in the end of the season, so I can start next spring, without any obligations.

Let us know what it's like, I would have a Diavel on my shopping list if I was looking for another bike.

[grog]

Fishy, didnt get out on Diavel, rain clouds threatning. have done a few ks on it previously. I really dont like instruments, gauges, just too hard to read. totally crap for a pillion. The rest is amazing. Sort of point and shoot. unreal power any revs, stops where you want. Sit right down in it. Servicing very owner friendly except re setting service light, ducati only software, 250 to buy tool. Tyres are expensive but the best. Rossos from memory. It has no faults, just unreal to ride but getting back on 14 it doesnt really feel inferior, just a bit looser in handling and brakes no match.
