Made some bar ends

The daytona has always made my thumbs go to sleep with a slight vibration but as we are going to Italy I thought I would do something about it. On the forums they add fishing lead weights inside the clipons, but my bars are blocked at both ends so I thought I would buy some cheap heavy bar ends. Went to Triumphs to show them Libby's bike (the headlights are cracked again plus the rear LED light is only half working). They only real light aluminium ones, but the guy gave me some off another bike - real heavy, however I needed to turn down a step that wouldn't suit my bike, plus the screws were too big a diameter. Never mind, I milled off the step and turned down the screws and threaded to the smaller size - perfect when you've got the tools.

Moto Legend

Had a nice weekend up at Dijon Prenois spectating at the Moto Legend event. Only stayed Saturday afternoon, but they make you pay 24 Euros for the weekend all the same - what a rip off. It's a shame because it is a nice event but it will be the last time I go.

Nice RG 500 club stand with about 10 bikes, I think it's the most RG's I've seen in one place at one time.

We stayed in a friends lovely house in the Bourgogne region, and had some great wines! And guess what - we didn't even get wet!
