Ouch easy done - hows the back today? Do not neglect it!

We all need to be careful when lifting R3's and easiest and safest to backup to them up using our arse and legs. If lifting from RHS putting the side side down first can possibly help stabilise or prevent a flip over.
Once up, if safe, it is always best to leave it on the side stand and get your sh!t back together before re-mounting.

It's allways a good idea to get your **** together before mounting !

Get a little helper but I wouldn't recommend these though!

This one is apparently tough on equipment.

And he will steal you blind and kick you in the nuts!

Just knock on a few neighbour's doors - kid's are cheap and have little hands to retrieve all those dropped tools and parts you left in there too.

My neighbour has 2 young boys aged 5 and seven . I promised them sweets and gave them a bucket and brush and put them both on the roof of my van to clean the moss off ! I had them booked in to do a few chimneys but their mother wanted too much of the profits !

I stopped messing around with bike lifts yesterday, but cleaned the gear position sensor and removed the back half of the heel-and-toe shifter to give my clown feet a little more space.

Then went for a ride!

25 miles in the evening sun, then picked up my daughter and we went to my cousins pub for dinner.

Riding home was my first Rocket-in-the-dark experience and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the lights are.

Lol, I take it your experiences of the lights aren’t that positive?

mr hunt · Apr 11, 2019

They are rubbish....@1olbull has plenty of info/research on this problem - on low beam stopping distance exceeds illumination at around 60 km/h on my roadster. Its fine on high beam but you don't make friends riding around my part of the world with highs on

@phar2slo how are you feeling now? The next day after a tumble is usually the worst for me but sometimes a day or two longer feel just as crappy.

They are quite possibly the worst lights I have ever had the misfortune to ride with.
Even the P45 45/45 Watt light originally on my 40 year old Guzzi had a better beam.
