Just back from a bacon & sausage cob in Welshpool.
Cob was disappointing, but the coffee and ride were bob on

That actually looks rather smart. Nice car!!

[MrLongbeard]

Nice car!!

It's nothing special just my everyday 2.2 diesel, which thanks to Covid gets to live a couple more years at least

Are you a convert now? If it disappeared tomorrow would you buy another Harley?

[MrLongbeard]

You've had it a while now, still happy with it, or do you have some niggling doubts arising?

Doubts?!?!?! None, nada, not a one, if it burst into flames tomorrow I'd order another one before the ashes had cooled.

Are you a convert now? If it disappeared tomorrow would you buy another Harley?

The above still stands, although I might be tempted by a Rocket III for a minute or 2

Time for the last (except push rod covers)of the chrome to be deleted, and Harley provide, hell even got next day delivery for a change;

Couldn't be bothered unlocking it and getting it up on the stand (OK so I was up until 04:00hrs playing warzone and drinking rum)
So just the one that I could get to today;

Top one looks best.

[MrLongbeard]

Hmmmmm.

I've not been keeping up with firmware or app updates from Vance & Hines for the fuelpak tuner, why would I it works as is... But a session this afternoon leads me to discover many new features have been added.
So installing cruise control no longer requires a dealer visit to flash the ECU, I'm mightily tempted to stick it on my xmas list

[MrLongbeard]

Sorned and put to bed for a while, along with an ounce or 2 of;

Funny enough, I put some Lucas equivalent in the zx6r today too

[MrLongbeard]

And it makes it onto youtube;

[MrLongbeard]

Bolt on tat (but functional) ordered;

Oil catch can, may or may not use depending if I can find a place to hide it

Time to get rid of the dinner plate chrome frisbee derby cover

But Harley being cock wombles decided to change the gasket type and didn't tell me
Oh well, got to use my new lift / stand, which works as advertised once you throw away the included handle and replace it with a good old Halfords ratchet socket.

[MrLongbeard]

Fucksticks and botheration.
Just found out a part I wanted is on backorder until July

It's not something that's gonna stop me riding it, but I had semi planned to throw a load of new parts at it before this season starts

[weeksy]

What was the plan to be?

[MrLongbeard]

Nothing major, OK maybe a smidge OTT to address an issue, but hey why not.
Mostly foot controls and grips, and maybe cruise control

It's a very smart tractor, but it's still a tractor.

[MrLongbeard]

Bit of WFH tinkering
