+++LATE SUMMER+++

I've been a lot on the bike this summer, but the one with no engine! 😀 So in the upcoming autumn 🍂 there'll be hopefully a lot more opportunities to ride through the #eifel, if the weather is fine!

Lately I've done some painting on old tanks and I'll show you the result when everything is ready! CUsoon! 😀 #kawasaki #zephyr750superbike

...a day @ the ACE Café!

  

...working for the Olympics in London left us there for almost 2 weeks. Although we didin't have our bikes we started a trip to the legendary Ace Cafe - unfortunately by 'tube'! -  but that gave us the opportunity to test the different brands of beer while sitting in the warm british summer sun which had some of its pretty rare appearances!

....@ the end of testing eachone tried one of the recommendable ACE-Burgers. Short after that the guys with the huge music bassdrum "escortsopelsfordsnissans" entered the place and this was the sign for us to enter the tube again to drive back to the hotel!

..as a former Trucker Station the ACE has a reasonable parkinglot directly in front of the building! Place and time to watch and to be seen!

...Belstaff weather ahead!

 

..on one of my first tests with the new 5x17 rim I was very careful because the tyre was quiet(too) old. I didn't want to risk anything and felt the temperature by hand from time to time, because I had no confidence although the feeling on the backhand was very stable. Driving through the sunny countryside I had a big raincloud in front of me short before I reached home. At least I stayed dry because the thunderstorm started shortly after I was in the house! :o)

 

.... short before dawn!

....the reason why I had to change my brakepads! Of course I knew it before - but you know how it is - you drive and drive and drive and drive and think....next time!! But really it was urgent now, the pads where totally gone. 

I bought a cheap camerafixing tool from #hama that can be mounted anywhere if there is a tube. So I made a test and wondered how good it worked out. I was a bit worried about the vibrations but the bigger problem is the autofocus. Unfortunately it doesn't work so well, but perhaps I can fix it in the menu and choose another preset - or buy another camera uuuuhhh!!

...more 'Peebrake'

                

"Peebrake"!

.....on my way bake home from #eifel cafe I had to install a "Peebrake" short before arriving. Mates -  that was urgent!!

24h Nürburgring is ahead!!

   “....although a few glimpses of sun, concerning the weather it's very british today! Could get interesting @ #24hnürburgring”

In the background you can see the PUG-Project, which I'll cover on http://www.gerrimoto.tumblr.com ....due to the weather the progress is very manageable!!

In spite of that the rear wheel conversion is in good progress. The 20mm rear axle from Zephyr 1100 is in the turning shop next village to be shortened. Because of the bank holiday weekend it will be next week when it's finished. ......as you see I carry on fumbling!! :o)
