LOL
As for me, did the same as Chickenstrip - went down the garages and made sure both were still there and both still started ... oh ... and insured them. MOT next. ____________________ 2017 Z1000SX |

I actually rode mine today!
About 20 miles to Oxford, then back again. Then 20 miles to Swindon and back again.

Took the KTM for its MoT.The knobbly tyres caused the electric motor brake tester to fluctuate far too much so had to revert to the mechanical wind up version.At least it passed with no advisory actions
It was fun to ride there and back via several lanes.Lots of ruts covered by dead leaves mean lots of sideways action  ____________________ Just talk bikes.What else is there?

Threw it in the back of a hired van and took it home to Carlisle
God only knows how I'm going to get it off the back of the van by myself tomorrow  ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Good pikey method? Open rear doors of van, tie rope between bike and convenient tree and, the important bit, an old mattress behind the van, then drive off  |
Hey, what a great idea! Bugger, no rope, oops-what-a-shame - no entertainment for you tomorrow  ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Washed them down with cold water to get rid of the dust because the bloke tiling our bathroom has been using the garage to get out of the rain and cut the tiles. Started them up, left them running for a bit then put them back again. Our roads were gritted last night for the first time this winter, so garaged they will stay until the rain washes it all away.... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Downloaded the manual and started stripping the fairings off to see what lies beneath. Used electrical grease on visible connectors and put it together again.
Bit chilly for anything else so put it on charge until tomorrow.

Where did you purchase those? Also have they died yet?
I have put off upgrading the lights to HIDS because I unfortunately need my bike 24/7 and have read reports of them flickering and eventually failing though this was from pikeypaulfzs. |
