I put my back out at work the other day.
The physical pain is one thing. I can just take a couple of pain-killers and grit my teeth against that, but not being able to ride my bike is the real downer. I'll keep my fingers crossed that a day of rest today will mean that it will be better enough to let me get out tomorrow.
Not that I haven't been out on the bike today! I did ride round the block (for a mile) before sitting on my stool in the garage and tinkering a while.
I swapped over the bracket for the clutch cable to the left down tube and moved the tax disc holder to it's previous position on the cross member. It's just less obvious there.
I've also been considering what to do about my rear indicators. One of them has loosened off a bit so when I was tightening it up I had a look to see if there could be a better solution.
I may mount them directly on to the fender. That way I will be able to shorten the brackets and set them closer in to the mudguard. Should be a neater look.
As that entails removing the fender and supports as well as re-wiring the indicators I will probably put it off for the winter list.
