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

[daveh]

I rode across to my sister in laws Saturday for an in law family gathering, wife and daughter had gone over the night before.
Came home Saturday with daughter on back, she has homework.
This morning down to the cafe to catch up with the lads, who were of for a hot dog ride.
In the photo below we are admiring Chris's Panigale which is out of shot.
Can you guess which one is me?

The geeza standing by the 14 about to put his helmet on?

Nah, that's Ron, he owns the brick behind my bike.
I'm on the extreme right of the photo.

Coffee in hand & permanent neck warmer . . .

Actually, that section of the pic doesn't show unless I scroll across at the bottom, it's not all in view.

@KiwiCol et al.

With the pics not showing in full - if on a PC - that is due to screen resolution.

Try this.

Hold the CTRL key down and then use your mouse wheel.  One way will zoom in, the other out.  If you zoom out enough, the whole picture will show.

Just FYI.

Cheers

Put one of those cooler things on!

A brutish looking thing BG, nice work!!

Today, I rode her home (about 400K) and washed, dried & put some polish on her. Cleaned & oiled the chain - (new chain, gotta look after it!) and mounted the new Ram mount for my GoPro.
She's all clean n tidy ready for the next adventure.

  Got my oil leak sorted - seams the buffoon who fitted the repainted rocker cover my have inadvertently not located the rubber gasket in the groove correctly - so tank off - cover off - fit gasket correctly - clean up the engine - retorque all the bolts - put tank back on and Hurrah  no leaks - oh and by the way the buffoon was me but looks like this is the only FUBAR encountered from all teh work undertaken so all is good and it is so so nice to get back on a decent CC'd bike

Fitted and calibrated my Tyre Pressure Monitoring System - monitors Tyre Pressure, Tyre Temperature and additionally checks battery voltage - very neat little gadget - and also (finally) wired in my additional set of spots.

barmy is that  triumph accessory or something else?
I know garmin has TP monitoring things which connect to the zumo by Bluetooth but I gather they are a bit flaky with the connection....

I didn't want the Triumph one, first it's an option on my particular model, second you have to replace the sensors every time you change tyres -and at £200 a time (on top of the cost of your tyres - no thanks! I did actually buy this to fit my 14 then of course sold it, but this is really quite neat. Once set up, it scrolls through and displays your front and rear tyre pressures every 2 seconds with a green arrow - any change outside arameters you set and the display goes red, so slow or sudden loss of pressure or tyre gets hotter than you say (which it will do if you get a slow puncture). As an aside there is a button you can press to check battery voltage. It's about the size of a gents wrist watch when mounted.

I have the TP-90 Pro version which has the screw on sensors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Steelmate-TP90-Pro-TPMS-Tyre-Pressure-monitoring-System-Motorcycle-Motorbike-/361518546291?hash=item542c2f3d73:g:4LIAAOSwQjNW9Alz

The same is also available with in-tyre sensors http://www.steel-mate.co.uk/acatalog/TP-90I-Pro-Professional-Motorcycle-Tyre-Pressure-Monitoring-System-317.html#SID=53%23SID=53 from Steelmate but I didn't want that.

The earlier TP-90 can still be bought on eBay but was discontinued over 2 years ago (so avoid) , likewise there are some copies around sold cheaper, so if you are thinking of buying one, just check the seller with Steelmate first.

I wanted this after  my mate got a slow loaded up with panniers at speed on a motorway - whilst he didn't have an off, the bike got hard to control as he slowed down so I decided I wanted "early warning".
