Blogging since 2006, riding since 2013!
2022, 7 years after buying my motorcycle, I believe I completed the project. I touched every system except the engine line. Everything else has been touch by my untrained hands, helping me to decompress from weeks and weeks of stressful digital work. All started with replacing carb covers, ended in this fairing from Modern Classic […]
After a lot of trials and tribulations, the project is over. Done. Finito. Complete. Almost. Since last time I typed here, the fairing arrived, I assembled it, and disassembled it 5 times, solved some issues, added others, but I am truly happy with the end result. It is a head turner, a looker, a instaHit […]
I love half fairings. I will never have the money to have a Thruxton R with half fairing of my own, and I have a beautifull motorcycle already. I am going to make it even better, by adding it a fairing. I went to Modern Classic Motorcycle parts that orders from Khorat in Thailand, just […]
I have just posted a new video about my preferred ride here in Lisbon. It’s not long, it’s not fast but it is somewhat twisty, in a countryside, just by the Lisbon outskirts. Now, I have been trying out the new Insta360 Go2 camera, that is powering thess new videos I am making, but I […]
I have a confession to make. In PT it is mandatory to have the back reflector perpendicular to the road. If you don’t have it, you risk a 250€ fine. Well…for the past 2 years… Daisy didn’t have one. What bothered me was that I had it. But time constraints, will to do it, or […]
Since my original odometer had issues with the LCD, I decided early on my project that I would be replacing it with another solution. As I loved the W1 look that had the odometer inside the headlight lamp, I knew it had to go that way. The Initial Solution I sourced some aftermarket solution, starting […]
Due to this pandemic, and all the time I spend in front of a computer, I decided, last September, that I would go back to do some sort of sport. I went with Padel as I could start directly from a little higher level as I did 6 years of Tenis when I was younger… […]
Not tv… Youtube.
With the extra cold weather in Lisbon, and the low time availability to deeply try Daisy 2.0 out, it assume this is kind of slow. I have already run it to the limit. it is fast… the Ton-up is now a breeze, as the body position is much more aerodinamic. But this has some costs… […]
Just did it without thinking much of it… That riding position will take some time to get used to. But it is a dream come true, the completion of the project. Now, adaptation phase for me, to the clipons and the rearsets… She really looks lovely these pictures do not make it justice… but it […]
