I always have plenty of projects bubbling away. Probably lining the shed roof with insulation board, my life is very exciting!

After 10 years finally getting on and replacing some (original rock hard) seals. Will need at least one bearing though. Sad

Helped my brother-in-law change the knackered floating front discs on his old ZZR600.

Had a test ride on it, for a 33 year old it's actually still a really, really good bike - a comfy doddle to pootle about town on, then a complete hooligan out of town Very Happy

Saved £40 by buying a standard metal shielded 6305 instead of a 83357A-9 by carefully transferring the oil slinger/retainer ring part from old bearing. Bit of patience and careful equal retentioning/rebending of the curly parts (not sure of name) in order that the ring is retained in the machined groove properly.

Quite a lot recently.

New chain and sprockets (totally cosmetic, the original set only had 2400 miles from new).

New set of Road 6's, pair of Puig chain tensioners and some decal kits from Pyramid that I think make it look a lot nicer. Also removed the spacers under the bars and raised the pegs to get it a bit more nosey and it's massively improved it IMO.

Oh, and a pair of Litelok X1's. Ever since my GSX-S was stolen outside my local Morrisons in less than 4 minutes from me leaving and coming back to it, I've never felt comfortable parking the bike out of view. Hoping if they see those wrapped round it they'll move on.

Used the multimeter to check the battery is still receiving trickle charge from the solar charger. Kicked the tyres.
