Bank holiday weekend
Same here Bindie, if the weathers nice she has got me paint for the fence (18 panels), if its raining its the lounge (only one wall though to finish), its a hard decision do I want rain or sun...

A few of my other bikes
That Tank needs weathering

Dragstar 650 white smoke?
Another vote for oil leak dripping onto the exhaust as you have already said you had noticed a small patch of oil under the bike in your other thread
-
Tips on keeping new bike good!
If the small puddle of oil is on the floor behind the kickstand I think you will find its the neutral switch seal, there's a write up here somewhere on fixing it, I have it printed out ready to do mine.

Dragstar 650 heat question.
10 minutes running will mean its up to full temperature so yeah it will be real hot.
-
Need clean underpants
Had that happen here locally around Rockingham Forest, 6-7 muntjac jumped over/through the hedge, they were in front and back of me, think they must just have really good reactions as they seemed to twist and turn to avoid me.

Finally it's stopped raining
Snow, what's that? We have had zero snow this year where I am, and to be honest the rain as not been to bad either.
-
Dragstar 650 missing connector ?
Not on the bike today to check, but it looks like it should be plugged into the right side of black box that's above it.

I hate fixing bodges, especially if they aren't mine!
If you use a proper bolt instead of a set screw it may work as on a bolt the threads don't go all the way up under the head so the bolt may lock off before the head is in the hole.

Yeah some sort of two legged bird thing with something behind it, very clear 3d effect but not sure what it actually is

Yep sunbathing women with a towel at the side of her, heads on the left hand side, nice norks by the look of her.

Maybe they carry a couple of bottle jacks in all that rear luggage space.

That's exactly what the Weasel is doing (Its not a ferret), the photographer just happened to be there and spotted it, the weasel attacked the woodpecker which took flight for a short distance then landed, the weasel was distracted by the photographer so the woodpecker then managed to make a lucky escape. Cracking picture though

These bike laws make no god damn sense. I just want my A1!!
Are you sure on your ages there Steve. When I was a youngster many moons ago, we could ride a 50cc moped from 16, I had a unrestricted FS1E and then you could have up to 250cc once you were 17.

Dragrtar 650 throttle hesitation
Maybe its just me but I very rarely hit the front brake without a bit of the rear.

Valve problem on XVS 400/650 ????
The 400 was produced for the Japanese home market, the frame and everything else is supposed to be the same as the 650, not sure if the actual engine is the same, the 400 weighs a bit less than the 650 which could mean its a different engine as logic says a 650 engine with smaller bore should weigh more.

Quick Valve - sump tap
Can just imagine coming back to the bike in the car park with a big puddle of oil underneath where some toe rag has come along and drained it just for fun.

My new pet hate
Riding from Corby to Oundle once and a herd of Reeves's Muntjac deer jumped over the nearside hedge, how none of them hit me I have no idea.

My wife walked under a barrier at a caravan site and got clouted by it, I didn't run her over after though, mind you she always walks round them now.

XVS / XVS Dragstar
Only managed to put on around 2,000 since I got it, unfortunately life took over last year and playing went out the window, hopefully this year will be better.

My new pet hate
Mine is when you get dog owners walking dogs off the lead next to a main road because they think they have it trained, then it see our dogs on the opposite side of the road and thinks I will go and see them as dogs do. I have had to step out into the road many times to stop traffic as the last thing I want to see is a dog ran over.
