Nice That is so good it really belongs it what you made making bodged. On the hoof repairs are always so cool to see. It’s just satisfying, don’t know why. Maybe because it requires gumption. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably around 400,000 miles without issues. I did have to buy tires in Oregon once, but that's it. Maybe I'm just lucky. But I've always had new-ish bikes and put on new tires before they're required - so that helps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than pulling carbs on the DR in sandy conditions I only ever seem to use my tools on other peoples bikes. I did adjust my cruising pegs on my way down to Wales on Sunday but that was just for preference as I had originally set them using my other seat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
