...first sunshine after rainy days!

....and my first drive lead me to the local #Kawasaki dealer to collect the spare parts for the front brakes that I did order some days ago. After replacing the break pads I realized that the o-rings from the calipers where worn and damaged too. Although the brakes are ok I'm thinking about replacing the whole front system with one (lighter)from the Kawasaki ZRX that I have already at home...let's see! :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!!

On any Sunday!

Usually it's Sunday or a long weekend when you realize that you urgently have to change brake pads! ...and like always nothing works out fine when you are in a hurry because of sunshine! My calipers are really in a mode that can only be described as used...very used! Refurbishing is the next big thing. :o)

Sneaker Style!

 ,,,expecting the chaos in the eifel today I just headed for a  short evening round in jeans and sneakers around the "Rurstausee". So when you don't start in full gear it's always good to have the feeling in mind when grip is over! as you can see - well fitted!!
