Not my scoot but my Shadow. Fitted a Halfords "Ultra Brillliance" bulb to the headlight to improve the pathetic front light. The pack says 120 % brighter, but looks maybe 20-30 % brighter. I've also adjusted the aim up a little, with the aid of some rags draped over a wheelie bin. Very scientific! :)

Managed to keep it upright going over Pooles "twin sails" bridge in storm force winds. Quite exciting! :)

Left the cover on my TMax (although it needs a good wash) and took out the Shadow for a cold ride to WH Smiths to get a 2018 diary. Halfway up the road remembered I'd forgotten :? my u lock so did a U-turn :) and promptly dumped it on it's side..
Not sure how it happened I think I just wasn't concentrating. No damage but took a while to coax into life afterwards.

I finally gave the TMax it's wash and polish. I'm always amazed at how well it shines up. Guess it's down to the quality of the finishes. It's almost 7 years old and still looks like a new one after a bit of TLC. :)

Fitted a large mudflap to my Honda Shadow. Took it for a 20 mile run on rain-soaked roads and came home to find it made very little difference, I still had to give it a good wash.. :)

Took it out for the first time in two months to the end of the world also known as Seawick.

Yeah been down there in the car. That is a wilderness. Road is really sinking and you have to be careful.

Well I haven't done it yet but I think I'm going to brave that East wind and give the TMax and Shadow a bit of a wash, and if I can stand the cold long enough I might put a bit of polish on them as well.. :) Brrr...

Went all over the TMax and Shadow with ACF50 on the furring up bolts and screws, etc.
Added a kettle plug to my Shadow (wired via fuse to battery, with plug under the seat) and kettle socket to my cigarettle lighter/usb socket. Wired a cigarette lighter type plug to the heated grips harness. So whichever bike I choose to take I can just "plug and ride" with warm hands and a charging phone. 8-) :)
