    I thought that but with all the nice kit on the bike, assumed he would get it replaced with a new cover at some point

    Yup it's a race/track bike, no point in painting something like that, as to me it will make no difference, but I will change it out at some stage, but right now it's down the list.
    Needed to change two bolts so got titanium ones, and while I was at it, I got a few more.... as you just got to love titanium!!

    Dug out my HRC loom and gave it a cleanup ready for fitting and testing. It is ex TT so needed new electrical tape in places and a little TLC to get it spot on

    Hey, there's a method to my madness!!

    I own 2 spaces at the front of my home. Ever since the next door neighbour started to use my second spot (I have only 1 car) I always straddle the spaces. That way it keeps him out, and gives me space for my bike cleaning projects.:)

    I am not the neighbour from hell. I used to mow all the lawns across the front. It was never ever reciprocated, leaving me to feel like the Bidford friggin' lawn fairy. One time I just did my own section, and the frighead since then has done only his, despite my still occasionally doing the whole lot.:mad::mad:

    Went to Matlock, queued all the way through, so i passed everyone, rolled through with the traffic where the bikes were parked so i could nosey, and passed everyone right to the traffic lights

    sounds dead boring, but its a first for me :D

    Installed cheapest track day fairings I could find 'finished' in unpainted white abs just to save the oem fairings in a crash and a lot happier than I thought I would be with the way it looked. Don't get me wrong, I like the OEM finish I had but considering that the fairing cost 250 quid including shipping and customs plus a few sticker I really like it.

    As it was...

    Nothing wrong with that. It's come up really well. Such an economical way to refresh a bike.

    Bought a tyre paint pen, to paint the letters on the tyre wall. Painted the tiny little Dunlop "D" logo, on one side of the back tyre - and thought nah !:D

    Ditto, except I coloured in all the Dunlop words on both tyres before realising I wasn't keen :D
