Laughing

Pretty much or at least not adding any real value, gotta add Dyno time to it as well. Still gives me stuff to do and if it gets it to crack a ton without grenading I'll be happy.

I highly recommend a patio cleaner to help keep the mess and shite spraying everywhere to a minimum.

couple of cheap bottle cages

I fell down a ratings review rabbit hole on amazon, and gave up, too much choice, in the end I just bought the same cheapo ones I always get. They break, eventually but they only are £5 a pair.

My last nearly new bike jacket, a textile, cost me £15 sometime around 2005. Splashed out today for a nearly new leather jacket, £40. Bloody inflation.

IRL: A small folding chair and table, and a 2-person tent, ffs, what am I even thinking about camping (!!)

Plus several chilli plants because black chillies Cool One of them has a couple of red chillies in amongst the black one, but they're not really for eating, more horticulture-experimental ... i.e., what percentage of chillies will turn from black to red Thinking

I bought some Triumph frame and swing arm coating and top coat.
I managed to scrape a tiny bit of coating off the swing arm years ago while using a paddock stand. Oxidisation has gradually taken place and bubbled up a small patch so its time I tidied it up.

A clamp mount for the Go-Pro knock-off by Goldman’s I bought in B&M Home Store on a whim for £20 several months ago. I’m surprised they’re allowed to copy the Go-Pro appearance so closely but the image quality was only on a par with the action cameras I dabbled with 10 years ago. Claims of 1080P don’t tell the whole story and I suspect the frame rate was <30 fps, so a bit jerky.

The clamp worked well fixed to the Kawasaki’s rubber-sleeved mirror stalk, and I’ll use it with the wildlife camera too.

Footage was mildly interesting (to no one but me). I’m getting more lean than I thought. However the camera gives a false impression of speeds and distances. Looks faster, distances greater.

Good clamp. Camera just ok. I won’t be using the camera routinely.

And what shed activities do you have planned? Is it just for storage or sanctuary?
You can't just declare shed without elaborating.

Naked trampolining Shocked Very Happy Thumbs Up !

Seriously.
It’s definitely going to be my man-cave. Smile
It’s going to be a cross between a workshop and a sanctuary.
I even thought about getting a bike lift, but that went out the window when I saw the prices Crying or Very sad
Got a big fat recliner chair to go in there maybe?, now looking for a telly.
Because I will have a good amount of storage in the garage, not everything has to come in the shed, yay! Smile

Storage is for the garage as I’ll never get the car into the garage unless I buy and old Austin A35 or an original Fiat 500.
