yeah, ill have to get around to putting the body panels back on sometime soon. just looks good without them.
maybe ill make time tomorrow after work. ill have to take it all back apart again this winter anyway. i want to try another paint job. the flat black is getting old to me and i want to do something different that will look a little more classy, so to say.

start when in gear but with the clutch pulled !
Took that little bastard clutch switch off tonight to discover a mashed bug inbetween
those little contacts ------ trying to figure out how the hell it got in there in the first
place ........ oh well ........ all good now

The "bug" thing happened to my clutch switch too once. But it was a BIG MF bug and I was able to clean it off without having to strip the whole switch.
Worst time for bugs here is around Christmas when we get the big beetles. Take one of those on the visor, and your head will feel it, take one on the fingers and you'll learn a whole new vocabulary of swearwords....

Um yeah I think this was one fat Canadian Bug , anyways nothing a shot of air from
the compressor did not get rid of as you can see the contacts right through a little
peep hole in the switch.
Today I put the rack back on the 1993 Black Bike to make a few beer runs for the
4th of July festivities
Reminds me ...... change my avvy to suit

Lots of bits
Bi-xenon headlight kit - Bought to fit tomorrow
new adjustable shorty levers - FITTED
new sports panniers - FITTED
new front wheel & tyre
just looking at a scala kit now.....Bought to fit today
ride out with new bits
Gel seat - very comfortable and will be even better when fitted in the seat later this year
Bi-xenon - much better than standard headlight just for getting noticed in daylight as well as night/wet riding
Shorty levers - a pleasure to use compared to the standard levers. 1 finger braking with ease and v quick gear changes
Panniers - stayed in place and dry contents despite the rain
Scala kit - brilliant - navigated with satnav whilst listening to MP3. took a phone call at 70+ MPH and caller asked if i was at home!
Looking forward to next weekend of riding and the CBRF-UK 3W ride in August
