1400 Owners Life Today ( The 'What did you do today?' thread)

[Tony Nitrous]

After another bike for a project. Sorry not a 14.

Not desperate so I'm being fussy, under 50,000K's and a specific 4 years model run.

Looked at two bikes for sale neither were 100% what I'm after. One had a lot of touring mods, one had 12,000K's and wasn't even a runner (badly stored)

Ruled out the ones in Cairns, Melb and Sydney for now, ruled out the high mileage ones.

Another one that's the right age and mileage has been dropped at low speed so that's a maybe for now.

One that was for sale, the owner took it out for a last ride and decided to keep it !

No rush, something'll turn up.

Hard to guess your choice. Will be Suzuki. Will be 4 cylinder.

In between jobs heading home yesterday, thought some diesel chugger was going to fill the Freeway Tunnel (Polly Pipe) with smoke when I passed this.

Not today but Sunday was invited to the "2 wheels 1 love" event that Rogue Motorcycles here in Perth puts on every 3rd sunday.  Was a quick blast up the freeway, a coffee, bacon and egg roll, chatvabout bikes and then a ride along the coast home.  Will upload some photos later. Saw two other 1402's, a 2009 SE and a black K4 or 5. Was a good way to spend Sunday morning.

Bad luck for somebody! Watching your video, it looks like you are pushing a button on the left hand side of the bar, what is it please?

It'd be the indicator being turned off, yeah?

Doh, thats me overthinking things, each press seemed to coincide with a gear change

Yeah that's the indicator, move to right lane stop, started for the left lane but cancelled as the cars on the left will soon merge onto the freeway.

I removed the swing arm to redo the bearings with grease..
They actually seemed to be in very nice condition with a fair amount of grease in them.
No cracks on this one! (Old Bike) had a crack on the right side..
Discovered a rather nice woodscrew in the centre of the rear tyre..
Having it repaired whilst the swing arm is out.

Must be running out of jobs Speedy. Top effort.

Not me but Mate. Got his Scrambler serviced today, $280, not too bad. Instead of waiting they lent him a V2 Street Fighter for 2 hrs. Thatis perfect service from a dealer.
