    @WhiskeySandwich Plans for paint? I’ve seen a few where it’s left in the grey, favourite stickers added, and a coat or three of clear over everything…

      @goosehd I like rocking raw metal for a while while a paint scheme comes to me. In the meantime I just smoothed it out with a flap disc and a wire brush on the drill. To avoid rust I generously wipe it down with wd40 and some chain wax.

                  tiger sport 1050 is decent. mate of mine had one. but for more off roadish you might need to look at the tiger 1200s

                        Didn't see any Indian and might have overseen a Vincent. But it's a great collection. The one HD was given by JFK to the Archbishop of Cyprus.

                          @endo Very interesting info about the one Harley. I love old motorcycle collections/museums. There’s one in upstate NY that has at least one Indian from every year that they were made.

                                    had my last track day of the year for 2024.

                                    was on old tires from a previous session in June which I flipped. Sepang is a right heavy circuit so I reused the tyres and flipped it before getting a new one for the afternoon session (in which it rained and never got used 🥲) timings were pretty much consistent across 2:39-2:40 now regardless of whether I was pushing. they had a intro to track riding on the friday morning which some tape markers where still left on the track. those were pretty handy in tiding up lines.. didn't managed to clock a faster time probably due to older tyres. will see when I swap them to the new set next year..

                                    body positioning for a flat bar is still unnatural as hell. sat on someone's Panigale in the pits and when you corner the movement is very natural as one hand rests over the tank and your helmet flows to your other hand for cornering. definitely very different on a sports bike while cornering. as the rain ruined the afternoon session, I didn't had a chance to look over all the lap times on the bike. will do it once I get it back in a few days.

                                          My 1991 R100 is back on the road after a 4 year hiatus. Most of the work done was cosmetic: paint, polish, clean and lube plastics and upholstery. She looks like she shed 20 years.

                                          Figure an Irish pub is a good place to celebrate her new stage in life.
                                          Strange knocking sounds coming from the clutch area once the clutch handle is depressed…noisier the higher the rpms. Yet to be investigated.
