Wired a couple of relays to the beaver box, next need to splice in the plug for the Admore LEDs in the topbox.
Picked her up from the garage after a new timing belt and brake pads. Low on fuel so we went to the next Aral. And filled up...
I have a company car and a UTA fuel card so I haven´t had to actually buy fuel for the last two, almost three months and apart from a theoretical knowledge of what is going on at the pump for most part price has been abstract.
I filled up for 52 Euros!
The guy in the shop must have seen my bloodless face because he asked me if I needed a minute of silence.
I was whining louder than a wonky differential on the ride to the A98 and you should have heard my cry of pain when I injected myself onto the Autobahn and opened the taps.

So $70.00 Canadian. Yes indeed, that would have got my attention and those around me as well.
That’s, dare I say, crazy!
What is this world coming to…
May the forks be with you.
Giving her a little shower after months of staying in the workshop)

Painted the ugly faded black plastic pn the saddlebags with a special plastic black spray can. Looks like new again! I'll do the lower shrouds next.
Why are the grey 03's with black wheels the best colour combo?

Finally got it out of storage and went for small 150klm ride. Felt really good. Met a guy at the dealer who just picked up a 2012 ST and will be joining the forum sometime.
Installed a new corbin seat. love it, it got my knees off of the fairing.

Well it was a relatively big day in the garage yesterday. After mounting the twin Fiamm highway blasters, I found the lower left wrapper had interference wth the horn so mcgyvered a solution with an additional L bracket to move it up out of the way. Man, those babies are much louder! Then mounted the Givi adapter plate & box that I had modded with the Admore LEDs,, tested my wiring and there is a lot of light back there now. Next I guess I have to drill a hole in the rear cowl to pass the cable throught to the box connection so off to the store to look for a suitable rubber grommet.
