Things to do part 1

Image taken with intention of  submitting it to myshittygarage.com but gave up on the idea as it's not really a garage is it?

1) rewire day time running lights to switched ignition circuit ( to avoid draining battery)
2) refit fuel tank to proper position (note to self - let the mechanic change the fuel filter next time)
3) fit extended mirrors bought from nice man in the BMW Club and adjust angle of bars to bring mirrors into line of vision (tip from IAM examiner)
4) remove silly friction lock cruise control as it jams open with heated grip on (yikes.......but I survived)
5) add Nippy Norman's bargain side stand extended to avoid awful loping stance of machine when parked
6) check sat Nav mount powers properly (my dodgy wiring probably)
7) ride?
8) remove wind screen and fit Nikos designed flyscreen to avoid all that nasty noise and buffeting

  1. Is all that work necessary on a mountain bike? Why not take the BMW out instead (preferably after removing that coffin that's on the back)?

  2. Nikos:

    YIKES !! No wonder you don't ride. Too much trouble getting all that stuff in and out every time. Have you considered purchasing another shed to put the junque ?

  5. Do BMW make push-bikes these days?? If they did I suppose they'd be really sensible, heavy ones.

  7. That shed looks like my shed. And that to-do list looks like mine too. Are we never satisfied?

  8. That's an beefy list. Reminds me of all the things I need to do--but I'd much rather ride. Oh well, my list will have to wait until winter.
