No µ key on the French Android keyboard either.

 

On an English PC keyboard you can get it by using ALT+0181.

µ........Thank you for that JBX :good:

Battery arrived from MDS today, unfortunately after I had gone out. 

Started changeover about 8.00pm thinking it should take me about an hour.

Took me 'til midnight, I had forgotten just what a pig of a job it was.

Started up with just a little jab on button, left it ticking over for 20 mins or so to clear out any spiders, and cleared up all tools. 

Pushing bike back into garage I saw all these red streaks, I had cut my arm and blood was nicely baked onto exhaust. 

Might leave it there, and if anyone asks, I'll just casually say "cyclist"

Oil & filter change.

 

Discovered air box not fitted correctly to top of carbs while cleaning air filter so sorted out.

 

Bit of cleaning

 

Then promptly dropped it off its side stand while moving it back into garage and broke the indicator, scratched the bar end & clutch lever. Pissed right off

Getting my seat done is on my wish list, where did you get yours done?
The belly pan and engine guards add to the bike, more things to put on the list.

Went to visit friends & rode back in total darkness :blink: (long since last time) - worries about running into a road kill (me? moose?)

With Osram Night Breakers lights are not too bad, though.

Blasted a lot of very sticky roadworks grime off (still a lot stuck on & it's going to take a few days to get the bike clean again), then had a ride in a thunderstorm, by as many twisties as possible,to Plzen. Didn't bother with waterproofs as it was nice and warm rain......

You're not going to believe this but....

 

I'VE RIDDEN IT! :banana:

 

I've been working away most of the year and most weekend when I've been back we've been busy.  Finally found time to give it an oil change and fit a new satnav last night.  It shows how long it's been since I've last done anything to it though, took me ages to get the side faring and the dash panel out :D  

 

Rode to work in the drizzle this morning to celebrate.

Nice day out doing the Round Britain Rally South Wales landmark so no pictures I am afraid, rally rules until after the finish date, however can give you a data logger print out. Actual speedometer trip mileage was 445 miles as the gps only adds straight lines adding 2.5% to allow for earth's curvature the speedo isn't far out
