Oh How Original Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Well the old girl got some loving over the last few days. Finally put on my big boy pants and took the full exhaust system off. Thankfully, a previous owner had the sense to put some acorn nuts on, so the threads were in really good condition. So the exhaust got a full clean and polish, the wheels got a full clean, brakes serviced, engine has been cleaned and touched up paint wise, fresh oil and filter, centre stand also repainted. Not too shabby looking for a 20 year old work commuter. Currently on the lookout for another bike for summer fun, top picks right now are MT09 and Z1000. Before After Before After (these are pre centre stand respray) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Went out on mine yesterday for a little ride. I've found an interesting app called calimoto which looks fun just a shame I don't have a phone mount Really need to try and find one as I might be able to get out on it more if I have an idea of where I'm going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's like a GPS for biking roads? Ram mount dude, Amazon Prime, here by tomorrow, get yourself out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get myself a quad lock setup a while ago but it wouldn't fit onto my bars so I sent it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Well, to some it maybe nothing, a simple 15 minute job, to me, it was my first time solo tackling any kind of work on my bike other than cleaning. Replacing the very rotten (broken in three places in fact) oil feed line, with rounded off bolts, threadlock (no idea why?!) and years of built up gunk and dodgy paint. Yesterday after failing to get a bolt loose I was ready to send the bike to the shop and just let them do it, but tonight after coming back on the TDM, I felt refreshed and ready to tackle it, it wasn't going to beat me, I eventually did manage to do it and as I say, to some it might be a tiny little job, but to me, the amount of job satisfaction I have gained from doing a completely solo task on my baby Fazer is incredible. So, with all the negative stuff going on at the moment, I thought I would make a little post about my extremely positive outcome. Pipes are still to throw back on tomorrow and first start up test, but based on the oil line been so rotten and basically falling apart as soon as I touched it, I am 99.9% sure this is where the oil leak came from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Picked up my new Triumph Street Triple R 765. The weather was **** which was a shame! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Really loving the Triumph. She got a proper wash today thanks to my neighbour letting me use her hosepipe and head. Went for a spin and grabbed a few pictures, then got home cleaned all the flies off and gave her a polish. Also tried out the new leather jacket my better half bought me towards my birthday, very good day overall. I've also designed a new logo I was thinking about getting some stickers of, maybe a t-shirt or two and hat, what do we think of it? Lots of different colours for use on different paint work. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
