Quick Update

Just a quick update,

Been reading a lot of interesting motorcycle blogs over the past couple of days. It’s good to read other people’s perceptions of situations similar to your own. I’ll add a few in the links to the right…I might start a new section for it as well.

The GSR has now become an extension of myself. I find myself riding to work these days in complete harmony with my bike. I know the exact precise position that I need the clutch to be in to give me a slick shift, and I am able to instantly go there whenever I want. I know the inner workings of the stupid throttle snatch and can work around it on the fly…it’s almost as if I can see it coming and take measures to prevent it. There is a funny tapping that is going on in 6th. If I open the throttle I can hear a regular tapping. I have no idea what it is but I’ll bring it up at my next service…which is due pretty soon.

I read with interest on someone else’s blog about back brake and what it’s for…which got me thinking about how some people actually don’t use it. I know that Blair doesn’t use his back brake as much as I do but when you see how easy the bike is to control when you do use it…it’s a wee bit baffling why people dont use it.

After updating the logo of my website I looked at getting a new sticker for my helmet and so headed back to Diginate (www.diginate.com) the place I got my first set of stickers.

They had said on their website previously that they would soon be doing contour cut stickers…well that time has arrived. I created my artwork in Photoshop, got an instant quote online and then sent it all through. I got a confirmation email to say that my artwork was ok and that was that. 1 week later they arrived and I have to say, they are pretty good!

Pictures are below and with a deal of £20 for 100 of these full colour bad boys, it’s a win-win situation…now where can I stick 100 YamYam stickers….?
