Looked at it, threw the new tyres next to it in the Mancave (they can wait till sat shedtime)
Grabbed a chain breaker when picking up the tyres,,, no need for the angle grinder now :laugh:Finally hooked in tonite after getting home at 6.
New rubber front & rear, new chain (gold this time) chain tool worked a treat
Also discovered that Black Paint Marker pen touches up scratches and chips on black anodised rime too.The blokes at the bike shop asked if I was bringing the rims back in fir them to change the tyres over?
Called me mad if I thought changing tyres at home with a few levers was fun,,, Not much fun at all really but it`s good practice for doing it out on the trails though
Takes me 15 mins each way to drive to the shop, $$$ to change them and half an hour of their time. I did both tyres and wheels back on the bike and the chain in an hour and a half for free while having a Bundy !!!Washup time tomorow morning and maybe get the green off the new rubber
Just as LC said eags it not cool to quote yourself
But I am still interested to hear you talking about yourself. :laugh:June 14, 2013 at 12:35 pm #227517There`s nothin` else doin` on here tonite Azza :laugh:
If it wasn`t so cold I`d be down in the mancave all night tinkering , and chatting to myself
June 15, 2013 at 3:48 am #227518It`s far too quiet on here today,,,
So the 690 got a wash, cleanup and a shine :whistle:It`s too clean to actually , so clean it`s disgusting :laugh:
The missus just walked past, shook her head, got in the car & took the kids for a haircut , made some comment about her car not being “That Clean” ever !!! :silly:Wonder if there`s any money in a Bike Detailing Business ????? :laugh:
I may just need a job soon :SJune 15, 2013 at 5:35 am #243710Yes Eags that is pitifull.
Looks brand new. :woohoo:
One ride and you can start all over again.
You can do mine if ya that bored. :silly:Looked at my bike scratched my head and thought for a bit and decided to rebuild the rear end rather than buy all new bits. The way I’ve been riding lately it is bound to happen again. :blink: :silly: :silly: :pinch:
Cheers

June 15, 2013 at 7:25 am #243714Eagle,
I’ll give ya 5 bucks to wash my bike.
June 15, 2013 at 7:43 am #227519Went to MCA, :pinch: got a Leatt neckbrace, (finally took snowy’s advice), new pressure suit to match, new front tyre for the KTM (birthday ride) and some how I noticed that the clutch lever was shorter than it used to be :blush: so I collected a new one of those too.
New pants, gloves and socks for Joshy (11) and home in time for the V8’s
Busy day in the cave tomorrowJune 15, 2013 at 7:47 am #243676Hi gazza, A flappa disc on a 4″ grinder will tidy that up nicely if you are fussy.
They have them at bunningsJune 15, 2013 at 7:51 am #243732Does making the bike bloody dirty and muddy count as doing something?
Bought so much mud home with me I am gonna use it to fill a few holes in the backyard. 😆
Damn it, to sore so will get the pressure blaster out tomorrow.
Gaz (although I do like gocman )

:laugh: It`s all part of the cleaning and maintenance regime mate,,,
Keep it clean, use certain products and it is easy to clean each timeJune 25, 2013 at 10:59 am #227523Just did my first oil change and replaced the thermo switch hopefully haven’t made a hash of it and my bike won’t blow the radiators and seize the engine. May be slightly nervous for the first half an hour of tomorrow’s ride. Lol.
