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

[Doc Strange]

Fired the Daytona up and sorted oil and coolant.

In doing so, went through 3 heat cycles and engine management light went out - woot, woot!

Now waiting to open garage door tomorrow and if no puddles of anything, it'll be fairing on and some on-road testing

Loads of parcels arrived for the Bonnie, oil & Filter & oil drain valve, a box with rear rack from Jez and a Motone rear brake relocation bracket places it on top rather than below catching all the shit had the same on my old T140 was always having to clean it,
Ready to Rock & Roll and get a service done to my satisfaction.

When you fit the Motone bracket, you may have some careful re routing of the brake pipe to do.

"Yes" it fits okay but I will change it for a braided and change the fluid all in one, even though it has a full stamped service history I only have faith in my work and not triumph dealers.

I picked up one of those cheap code readers that relays to an app on your phone and I'm bloody impressed with it. I bought it for the 20 year old car and it also works on the 20 year old bike. For less than a tenner they're a useful tool.

I got one of them but didn't understand a bloody thing it was on about

I had planned on tinkering with my bike today but its pissing it down and windy as f#ck and the wife keeps tutting and sighing at me....

On my list - but I keep putting off the day as I dread delving into the electrics until I actually have too.

Take her out in the jaaaaaaag darling.

Take her out in the jaaaaaaag darling.

If I could fit my bike in the Jaaaaaaag and go for a romantic drive with it I would

I didn't think your missus was a bike? It sounds more like an ironing board

 

[Doc Strange]

She lives!

No unwanted puddles on garage floor, so bunged seat back on then went to fill her up - no problems, so a quick blast to the motorway and back to run her through the gears and all good.

Back now, cooling down - fairing panels on next and jobs a good 'un!

And flushed with enthusiasm, I've just booked Donny for the 4th May!

When you source your braided, please link me in, I could use a new one on my Bonnie.
