Well put in the guts of a 12hr spin today, left the house at 9ish and got home just after 8pm. Was all over the place ended up about 30 mins past Kilkenny, after doing all around Kildare and Carlow etc. was not all good news.
Was trying out the new Go Pro harness today and in my infinite wisdom I forgot to stick a "tether" on it and put the clip in going down instead of up.....so was doing "WELL NORTH" of the speed limit and I must of pressed against the tank and my lovely Go Pro 3 Black Edition pops out of the harness and bouncing 3 times on the road narrowly missed my mates head it bounced that high....I did not even know it was gone. My mate seen it and went back for it on the hard shoulder...could find nothing but this!!!! Thats all that is left so much for a protective case!!!!
The card still works but the battery ran out about 15mins before the motorway...Grrrrr.

Great Spin yesterday alright! The roads dont get much better than that in Ireland and the weather certainly doesnt get much better.
Wonda was very unlucky with his camera. . . but on the plus side I tethered mine on the way to work today!
Had a good time lads on Sunday, all good fun.
Knew there was a funny rattle , like a loose bolt, on the bike. Looked at the tank bolt when filling her up tonight... Tank bolt gone..
Looking forward to a few more spins,
Lookbehindyou, been practising your tips

Same thing happened on my fazer, drove around for a week thinking I had already lost it, lifted up the tank to attach a charger and found the bolt wedged between the frame and some other part that I cant remember. You might not have lost it yet, good luck!0 -

TBH, I would not replace that with a standard M bolt. Go out and get the special allen key bolts. They are like normal bolts but have a pattern in the middle or off set and the allen key matches. Like the lock nuts on a set of alloys. I got them across from Joe Duffy BMW in the industrial estate.
You need a special tool that comes with the bolts to open them. I only went down this route after some scumbags tried to take my FZ6. To get at my alarm they had to take the tank off (I cant remember if the battery is covered by the tank too) anyway its only them 2 standard bolts that are between the scumbags and your alarm/battery. The seats on the FZ6 you would break with a tooth brush they are that flimsy.
The only reason they got one out and not the other is when the steering lock is on it covers one of the bolts!0 -

Bad form parking in a blue badge spot in my opinion.
I would not do it unless I had the badge displayed, and the person who the badge belongs to with me. Remember that the badge belongs to the person, not a vehicle, so it can be used for a bike.0 -

I think you might need a large one...
So if one of them is disabled it's OK to park in the spots to save him walking over to you, as you said? What's wrong with you parking elsewhere and walking over to him?
And if you are parked for a break and a chat but not going anywhere then why the need to park in a disabled bay? Or multiple bays?
As I already said they were 2 additional disabled parking spot's that were free and unobstructed by us or the bikes.
There were two normal spots free between camper vans and car's. Kids and dogs constantly running around free between cars, it was the safest place for us and the kids to park, last thing we and the kids parents need is a trip to A&E because a kid touched/fell on one of the exhausts.
I didn't picked that space but I would have parked there for the above reason anyway....Of all the times I have stopped in that place for a break I have never seen a single disabled car parked there never mind four.
It appears that you both think we are going around parking in disabled spots regularly just to inconvenience others, we are not a bunch of inconsiderate Neanderthal bikers pretending to be 1%'ers. Of all the rides I have been out its always been a pleasant spin and the pilots out were courteous towards other road users regardless of their vehicle,gender,race, disabled or not, etc. Except for the go-safe van's, they always get the finger!
