Serviced as its close to 2000km (1789 atm)which it will probably hit over Christmas, and coated with ACF50 (or equivalent)
Possibly new Tyres ready to be fitted in the summer months.

Is it not upright enough Tinky?jaffa1963 wrote:My BMW will get serviced as long as its not too cold for me to spend a couple of hours in my garage.(Otherwise it will be a quick oil change until the warmer weather.) I'll also have a go at getting an old ali bash plate to fit instead of the crap stock plastic one.
My Triumph is getting a set of 2 inch bar risers.

It's fine. In fact more comfy than I hoped for. But the two inch bar risers will mean I can stand up on it without having to lean forward and the sitting riding position is just a little more relaxed which makes long journeys even more comfy.
BTW the cruise control is brilliant for long runs and speed control areas.

Mine has just had a new exhaust and brand new bulbs for the speedo and rev counter, might treat it to a full service

Not for the bike but the mrs has bought me and my lads a voucher for e-scape mx bikes.. Bikes just having a winter off commuting and maybe a custom map.

Potentially some adjustable Rox risers for the BMW, they allow you to set the angle of the bars better, nice for standing up if/when the time comes - cool looking things;
