Tire pressures checked again, checked coolant & tightened all hoses on both machines
Playing around with positions on those new multi - adjustable bars I just put on.
Cleaned both chains in Kero ordered another Vista Cruise (honda version) throttle lock
from JCWhitney 22 bucks plus free ship (BTW free shipping from them today on almost anything)
Trying to decide which bike to take on the Nova Scotia trip with CB2CBR in 2 weeks

Finally riding out
After 2 weeks of neglect and withrawal symptoms setting in I finally got a ride - albeit short 36 miles.
But to make up for it the weekend is booked
Sunday - off to BSB @ Thruxton
Monday - Southcoast to Ace Cafe to Margate and home. Following the old brit bikes down for a rockers day.
Blow the weather I'm going

I hardly ever post in this thread ??? 
anyways ...
As it is the last weekend before winter is officially supposed to set in
, ( in 2 days) , I checked her over and everything was good ... (dont fix it if it ain't broke methodology)
Went for my mandatory pre winter run , only a quick 200 klms , 55F, dark skies , threatening to rain , but stayed dry ... all good and not cold enough to gear right up either ... just lovely !!!
Well done !! I don't like the chitty gloomy wet stuff either mate ...

Harley Fergusons --HA! That brings back memories. What a picture.
I got a nice ride in the other night. Working hard in the hot garage and went out to cool off and dry out. Very efficient.

Been having some idling issues (idle jets dirty) so I pushed some injector cleaner (Wynns) through the bike at 2x normal concentration for 70 k's - improving as we go, made a difference to the camchain noise too, as the idle is cleaner. Not all the way there yet, but getting better. I'll fill the tank and run the thing today at the same, and see where we end up. Def improvement in accelleration and roll on too, so maybe main jets are a bit dirty too.
Colder here now, so may just be denser air making her go better.....?
I'll wash it today.................

Got the new(ish) tstat housing installed yesterday, flushed out the cooling system and added new 50/50. I went for a 60 mile ride and am happy to report all is well.
Now I need to start shopping for a new rear tire, it's almost to the treadbars.
I am currently running Pilot Powers, but I am seriously thinking of going to Pilot Road 2ct's.
Any input?
