Rode the TDM to my old University to delver some documents: Somehow I thought it a good idea to go for another master's degree in a new field that can be obtained parallel to working. Stupid me ;) less time for biking.

Fixed a little noise from a heatshield on my car and ponder when to wash the TDM ;)

Took it in to get the chain checked, tightened and booked in for new, and much needed, chain and spockets and found a nail in my brand new back tyre, how pistoff?!! Fortunately, cos I fitted Michelins, they can be plugged!!
Yaaaay \(")/

Bike flew though MOT this afternoon, and shocked with the numbers of miles I've done this year, 2300 in all. And theres me thinking I never rode that much... only one advisory noted.

 

Slack chain!

To be honest he's right as I noticed it when the examiner rode it into the test bay. And thought "better look at that tomorrow" :good:

Bike flew though MOT this afternoon, and shocked with the numbers of miles I've done this year, 2300 in all. And theres me thinking I never rode that much... only one advisory noted.

 


 

 

I took a bike for it's MOT last week and got chatting with the tester, I guessed the annual mileage of most bikes would be 'quite low', at about 3000 or 4000......   he said 'try 300 to 400 more like' .    He see's bikes that haven't done more than 100 miles since the last MOT quite a lot.  I don't know how people can blow the cobwebs off and ride safely if thats all you do, but each to their own. According to him even big tourers average less than 3000, because most owners go for their one big holiday tour each year and then don't use the bike for the rest of the year.

 

It's none of my business what people do with their bikes, but I couldn't live with having a bike and usually not use it !


Checked the waterproofing (good quality silicone) of the cheapo led spots and aligned them....

 

 

 

 

 

 

And also discovered that repairing the upper fairing lug was just a case of moulding a suitable nut in 'metal epoxy'

Finished the wiring on my DRLs yesterday, took the feed from the rear light cluster connector.

Rebuilt the solar charging system to work a bit better.
