When did that come in? Must have been recently. Another one of their so-called taxes on your own hard earned. How does it work?[/quote]
See following posts... the OP had ended up on a scam site. That's how it works. [/quote]



Yeah, he's right;
It was the first one that came up on google!
The proper Gov. site is the second one.

The other half decided that the downpipes on her 2016 Yamaha Tracer were looking noticeably crap.

So armed with a bottle of this -

The downpipes went from this -

To this -

Thankfully, she's rather pleased with the result

The baby bandit:-

When Fret and I went for a test ride after the bike was finished I found the brakes somewhat lacking.
Today I stripped and cleaned the calipers, fitted Brembo red pads, braided hoses and a radial master cylinder.

It now stops like it's hit a wall.

And shown up how bad the front suspension is..........

I took the KR1S apart:

I put some kurust on the exhausts and generally tidied it up. Will need to get the barrels looked at, so I put it away again for a bit. I fixed the seat lock on the VFR though, so that's good, right?

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Renewed the insurance on both bikes, last year paid £220 fully comp, Bennets have quoted £163, so that was good news. If they ever leave the garage that is.
Optimiser on for the fortnightly charge, both bikes are better polished than a guardsman toe caps.

I've booked it in for a proper MOT while I can still afford it.

Got to stop dicking about and get the bloody thing running properly. After last summer being so awesome but coming to an abrupt end with that nob in Wiltshire, I want to get some more decent rides in.

Cos some people need to be visited and given the opportunity to force me to drink cocktails with them this summer until I collapse into a gently chundering heap in the corner of the bar.

Cheaper to get the bike sorted properly, than to risk a fine that's probably ten times as much as what it will cost me.

So this turned up today.

Now that's what I call a trunk

Just gotta make my custom rack and sissy back rest...
Defo got enough room to do my shopping now...

It turned up at work so I had to bungee it on to get it home.

So, wait ... are you telling us you are going to permanently attach that trunk to the back of that bike?

Like how it is in the picture, only not with the bungees holding it there?

Are you mad?
No, don't answer that.

Any time you can say "...if you gave that to a doctor as a sample, he'd book you straight into the hospital" is bad

How old is that effluent coolant BTW?

My bike has to be functionally practical, I want to to be able to do my shopping, and carry odd bits and bobs for my bike and other projects, and when I do I put on a suitable box to take it all, so I don't expect to be able to do silly MPH when transporting stuff, anyhoo it's a tourer and doesn't do silly MPH anyway.

Having SORN the car, it's my only transport. As I said I've bought some polished stainless to make a stylish custom rack, and as & when I need it, that box'll go on there. That's why I removed the pillion seat.

Charged the battery because I've not used it for the last 8 weeks.

Left it at the MOT garage
Only to be expected really.

The Sinister Fiend came to pick me up and dropped me at home, promising to come back and collect me when the MOT guy says its ready to go.

God only knows what its going to cost me, but that's what I've been working hard and saving up for, has to be done if I want to get some decent riding in this summer.
