New clutch release finger for the Harley after this happened to the old one.... luckily just as I was only a mile into a 120 mile ride out. Managed to coax it back home with no clutch to take the Bonnie for its second 100+ ride in as many weeks instead

Fuel for a nice little run to the coast, a bag of chips at Poole quay and then back home.

Got this Held tail bag today. Great size, easy fit, looks good but the plastic buckle bit that's fixed to bag ain't that great. Not stitched or riveted, just clips together and sandwiches the banding bit. IYKWIM. One fell off, I reckon if you pulled straps very tight, the buckle could fail.

An inner bar weight. I had a pathetic walking pace off last week and managed to bust it as I dumped the bike in the gravel. Most of the other bits have been hammered / glued / painted into serviceability (the tank dent will have to be 'patina'). Shoulder still hurts mind.

Today I gave my Triumph lots of attention and fitted a new clutch lever that I bought for it a couple of years ago!
Its having an MOT in the morning so thought I'd give it a decent clean and make sure everything is as it should be (its been Sorn'd for 14 months).
I was amazed how heavy the thing is after spending the previous year on a KTM 790 and then a Monster. Then when I put some air in the tyres it was much easier to push about the garage and driveway
Going to take it for a decent shakedown run this afternoon to re-familiarise myself with it.

Cardo Freecom 2 + bluetooth set up for helmets for me and the missus.
I had the Cardo Freecom 1 fitted to my Tour X4 up till a couple of weeks ago till it fell off and was destroyed by following traffic. I was going to replace with the same but SWMBO has stated she WILL spend more time on the bike in future and have possibly talked her into an Italy trip next year or the year after so thought i might as well get a set up where we can speak and she can listen to her music while i get to listen to mine and get my satnav instructions.
Will see how it progresses

Ordered steering head bearings for my 125, I suspect that eldest son has wheelied the damn thing to death during his ownership so they are pretty fucked.

Having comms between rider/pillion or rider/rider makes your day out or long trip much better. Chit chat at will.Bigyin wrote: Sun Jun 14, 2020 10:32 pm Cardo Freecom 2 + bluetooth set up for helmets for me and the missus.

a Screen for the 1200 Monster. I'm too short in the leg for a Multistrada so my Monster is getting a screen and panniers!

That panel just clips out if you undo bolts right? So you can do a Weeksy and replace offending one with a new look Ebay one?
