The cool continues

#1 Post by MartDude » Thu Aug 28, 2014 10:59 am

The California passed its MOT yesterday, needing nothing more than a tweak to the headlamp beam aim. Couple of advisories - back tyre nearly to the legal limit (which is good, 'cos I don't like the Avon RoadRiders currently fitted), and back brake not very effective (which I knew about anyway). Anyway, I've booked it in for a brake service/overhaul - don't have the facilities for doing this myself.

Thumbs up for Strefford's Motorcycles (Worcester); picked up a lot of useful advice for this bike.

Bar's open.

And finally, a pic of the awesome coolness which is a California

Are the foot plates ribbed to help your slippers stick?

Great news


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Obviously the Forum's answer to global warming. Working too well IMHO.

He's been for an MOT on a summer's day.
He'd be safe and warm if he wasn't in the UK.;

Aw so purdy
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
