This is a thread to tell all about what you have done to your bike today.

Whether you've washed it, polished it, modified it, ridden it, dreamt of it, crashed it, sold it, bought it, restored part of it, crashed it....whatever it may be list it here.

This is always a popular thread with the modders.....and has been a sticky on many a forum.

To get us going, today I've fitted a new waterproof optimate plug (the old one is 2 months old and winter has shagged it)

Then I De-rusted my link pipes link pipe (yes the link pipe's link pipe), then gave it a quick polish back to the metal (it was red rust)

And finally I removed my ally link pipe's link pipe heat guard and repolished it. See here for how it was before I polished it! Yuck...

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool then to speak out and remove all doubt.
Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best.

Stripped & cleaned calipers on the DRZ. They werent seized, but were getting manky.
Thought it would be easier doing them now, than waiting for them to seize & f**k the pads & discs up!
