114 Fat Bob FXFBS

[ogri]

First bimble out of the year
And I reckon the new sat nav is knackered it was only a quick 90 minute shake down ride to blow the dust off but it reckons I hit triple digit speeds

Bloody kids nowadays etc.

When I were a lad......

You had to peddle faster?

[KungFooBob]

Maybe 114 is actually the top speed?

Maybe 114 is actually the top speed?

Downhill with a tailwind?

[MrLongbeard]

Maybe 114 is actually the top speed?

Nope, limited to 110 I think, although if you have a tuner......

[MrLongbeard]

Decided to get rid of all of my wire splicing and fitted an OEM electrical connection update kit, I now have way to many free outlets for accessories..

Deepest darkest Wales boyo

It's cool as fuck. I think I'd hate it, but it's cool as penguin piss

[Mr. Dazzle]

Yeah whenever I see this bike I do wonder if I should consider one...

[asmethurst99]

There's one parked outside the Tatoo shop near us I walk past every day and always look at it ...

[MrLongbeard]

Do it, take some of the strain off me.
Every time I park it up it's always half an hour of 'that's nice, I might have a look at one of them, what's it like mista' ? nice problem to have I suppose

[Mr. Dazzle]

Already got one unreliable, charming, piece of crap but love it anyway motorcycle thanks

[David]

Wouldn't want to get lost in darkest Wales

But as an early 'before' tease see the OEM indicator / rear / brake light side by side with the replacement O0 ;

That should tidy things up.

How could you get lost in Wales.....we have sign posts....even vowels now and again.....

Easily, when solar navigation is completely out of the question

[David]

The sun shone at least twice this year......

[DefTrap]

They normally do okay...

Ooh that was a sphincter tightening slide, you'd have thought he might slacken off a bit given that literally every corner looked like it would have sort sort of gravel or sand fallen onto it. And hairily close with his bonce to the rock wall. Maybe it's just me - I'm from the Fens, I'm only used to avoiding the swamp.

First MOT time;

[Skub]

Did it pass?

[MrLongbeard]

Did it pass?

Surprisingly yes, although that reminds me I need to take the MOT number plate back off
I was worried when I started it up in the wee tiny cramped bike testing space they have as it was a smidge loud, but he just smiled and said all done

[MrLongbeard]

Nearly stacked it into stop n go motorway traffic this morning
I really must remember to pull the clutch in when blipping on the down shift

At times I needed recalibration when going from riding a step though to a GSXR1000. Down for up and up for down.... I remember very clearly accelerating out of a roundabout in 2nd gear on the gixxer,then punching it down one without the clutch.

Or using the rear brake on the scooter as a clutch.
