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

[The Departed]

Thanks for the offer. I use the bike all the time and it gets hosed down and washed a lot so I don't think the ACF50 would really do me or the bike any good....

Applied correctly can save a lot of abuse.

I couldn't do anything to my bike today as the weather took a turn for the worse..The cover had come off and the bike was covered in snow and ice....The ice really clusters around the brake and clutch lever and the wiring at the front of the bike...I'm beginning to think its the cause of some of my problems...

If i have to leave the bike outside for any time i use the blue tarpaulins from screwfix , about 4m sq with eyelets all around the edge cost about £4 , put a length of thick string or thin rope through the eyes and when the bike is covered pull the string tight around the bottom of the bike so it " purses " ,dirt cheap and never had one come off yet

Got around to fitting the bypass for the datatool, gave the battery a few hours charge, ran it to temp and got generally grumpy about not riding.

 

[Scrappy]

Also grumpy about not riding, spent the day inventing jobs in the garage just to be near the bikes.

Very dodgy...and camera shy.

If you think that's untidy you should see my bike shed and mancave. I tidy it and ten minutes later it looks like a bomb has hit.

Yeah, sorry mate, I'll get those bottles shifted ASAP

Thats a real Piss boiler for me that is , when ever i work in the workshop i clean everything and put it back where its supposed to go and others ( cunts ) just dump tools everywhere

 

[The Departed]

Cant wait to get a garage, having a container is fantastic but the chance to potter about in the garage is sublime.

Those switches are fairly generic Duck.
They are available on Ebay for a couple of quid.
It might be worth buying one & keeping it in your jacket.

Just saying Duck, but that ACF 50 you were offered would help stop that corrosion on the switch it's not been in there that long

Offer still there @BAD LUCK DUCK i had mine ceramic coated December so it's sat there gathering age. Not sure about postage but you don't live that far away I think?

Its a bit disheartening to be honest when I've only just replaced it...
Its the harsh weather conditions up here mixed in with really shitty roads covered in debris grit stuff that falls off the back of agricultural trailers and you got a bike covered in all sorts that somehow gets into everything...
Summer will soon be here and all will be great...
