What have you done to your bike today....

[stevethegoolie]

Took me Trident out yesterday for a bit of a trundle. I decided to try to get an artistic shot of it somewhere a bit different, on a dead end piece of road next to the East Coast Main Line just south of York - blurry train at speed behind stationary bike. Seemed like a good idea at the time ......!
SIGH!!

To be honest at this time of year it’s what puts me off riding. I get hit on all the time. Some of them are pretty sharply dressed in loud stripes but mostly just dun harvest flies or daddy long legs.

I've had them try to get inside your clothing. The sluts. It can result in some vigorous antics but there's a sting in the tail sometimes.

Still a cracking looking bike Steve.

Whenever I go out on Britt the Bonnie it tends to be old men who stroke my machine T'other day I stopped in Inveraray and I was standing puffing my pipe at the railings of the harbour with Britt parked about ten feet away. She was alongside a half dozen of those 'Adventure bike' thingies and this old fella came across the road from the Hotel. I don't think he realised I was even there as he only had eyes for Britt. Walked straight by all those shiny new pointy bikes and up to her. Stroking her tank, running his hand over her badges and giving her a real good ogle all over. This big hairy nutjob puffing on a pipe caught the corner of his eye and he moved away from her down the harbour with a "beautiful day isn't it?" to me as he passed.

No it was definitely a woman and not one of them cross dressing wannabe hairdresser type of blokes that drive a MX5

Along with the odd discarded fag butt in the lid when filtering (cheap but intended pun)

@BAD LUCK DUCK - pull up in a Waitrose car park if you wanna get the attention of older totty on your bike.

Lot's of them married wimps for money and get excited at the thought of a biker who also knows what balsamic vinegar is!

I think you meant ballistic missile as ballerina vagina must be a typo

Money saver!! I didn't know you could adjust it!!!

What did you think that bit of metal in the cable was for then?

If there isn't enough adjustment there, you can adjust it at the other end.

My Daytona has twin throttle cables, which are easy to adjust, but a pain to get to - tank and airbox off job.

All covered in the Haynes manual.

What metal. it's under rubber.

Nah, Google it if you want to impress the posh chicks.

And if you learn how to pronounce 'quinoa' properly, you'll be fighting them off with a shitty stick.

You'll have become a bit of a prat though tbh.

OK, what did you think that rubber bulge in the cable was?

I just got back after a 90 min blast on the Daytona - first proper chance to try it out since getting new chain and sprockets.

And after careful, scientific testing, I am pleased to report that dropping a tooth at the front, does indeed make it more responsive

In fact it generally improved the way it behaved - low speed in town felt in a sweeter spot in the rev range too.

"What bulge".
