  1. Yep, just as you described it. I concentrated so hard on not pissing my pants I accidentally farted and it was hideous. I gave a disapproving look at the old Spanish lady sitting next to me. Age is no barrier to me.

  3. Ooooooh I’m weak willed and gave in. Technically I’m still on ‘holiday’ and it is 4am so perfectly reasonable.

  4. The weekend went in a blur so much so that I’ve no idea what I did but I do know that it’s 0305 on Monday morning as I type this sitting at Gatwick Airport waiting for my 0630 flight back home to Spain. A Greggs coffee and fat-bastard baguette will see me through.

  8. Given the concern regarding the warning stickers, I probably shouldn't go into detail on what effects the ECU reflash will have on the bike, especially in second gear.

  11. I've been looking at car stereos for the Sharan as it crashes on a regular basis and half the touch screen doesn't work. An easy task you'd think but for the VWs can bus system to operate the steering wheel controls and park sensor functions. My eyes are aching compering different models. I've sent a few emails out to try and get the best bundle deals. Now for some lager to ease my troubled soul.

  12. Gave my bike a quick wash in the morning, then went on a little ride around to have it properly dry and warm. Lazy sunday now.

  21. If you care, bike’s back home, and turns out the leak wasn’t leaking anymore, it was just residual oil that was still inside the swinging arm. New seal was still put in now using the proper tool to have it aligned to spec, and we’re golden. I very much wish to go on a two day ride to Alentejo and maybe Algarve before Christmas, but still not sure I’ll be able to.

  26. Managed to get a Ride in, since the weather is cooperating @ the moment...a nice mix of clouds & sun... Trying to make a serious effort EVERYday to put some seat-time in on the Mullet....sure helps to work out the kinks from a slough of old injuries this abbreviated old body is feeling... I ran the battery flat on the way back....sure can feel that extra 25lbs. when the motor shuts down...peddled back in PA level 1 till I got to the bottom of my steep driveway where I turned it back up to level 5 so I could make it to the top....just barely.

  32. I brought one of these home last week, just in time for ski season to start here in Michigan. It'll be about five months before I can ride it, so for now it's sitting in my basement shop looking for ways to spend my money. With 0.5 miles on the trip odometer (total miles still says 0) it's got a Quickshifter, upgraded front brake pads, Upmap unit & reflash, Swingarm spools, USB port, tail tidy, and various warning stickers removed. Oh sure, you shake your head at that one, but I've removed five so far and have four more to go. Not to mention various barcode labels and an incredible amount of yellow marks that indicate somebody gave that item attention at some point. It will have better tires put on it as soon as the seasonal sales start. Or maybe sooner if I get impatient. I even got to break out the 3d printer. In prep for trackdays I've printed a couple plates to capture the nuts on the mirrors so they can be removed without disturbing the fairing. I am also anxiously awaiting the release of an add-on wiring harness to move the front turn signals onto the headlight, like in other parts of the world. Because if I don't do that, I'll still have to remove that pesky panel to get access to the mounting bolts. Come on Aprilia, figure it out. You don't have to make attaching/removing things so piddly. I had an RS-R a few years back they used something like 37 long screws just to hold the airbox lid on. Annoying. It may also get an exhaust, another reflash, rear shock, and fork inserts too, but I think those will wait until I've actually ridden. Maybe not. In stock USA trim there are five warning labels visible from this angle alone. F'ing lawyers...
