Well, the spare parts have now come for the bike. Front LED indicators are fitted on the fairing insets, just need to sort out the connectors.
The rest of the bits are "simple" mechanical replacements. Pics once it's done will be up!

14k miles down, and so is the bike
So, I came a cropper on a road used by construction traffic (less than 100yds off site) and the road slightly damp. At approx 20mph, front wheel slid out from me while making a slight left turn.
Good news was no serious physical injury, and no serious damage to the bike. The only thing that stopped me riding the thing home was a broken gear lever. On picking up a replacement from the dealer, saw a street triple with LED turn signals. Turns out no modification to bodywork to get these on. The Triumph has a separate bolt hole to where the wires go through.
So post-crash, me thinks some modding is in order!!

Blog Migration.
Well, looks like the migration from Nucleus to Wordpress has gone without a hitch. Plus an upgrade along the line as well. Hopefully there will be more content en route!

Ubuntu Lucid JRE and Formula 1 live timing
So, you have a fresh install of Lucid on your PC, and you're wanting to view the live timing from formula1.com, but all you get is a progress bar that doesn't finish, and a grey box where there should be live timing. Well, not to worry, you need to remove Open Java and IcedTea plugin, and install the Sun ones instead.
All well and good, but Canonical have removed the Sun JRE from the main repository. Fortunately it is available from the Partner repository. To enable this, you need to open System -> Administration -> Software Sources. On the Other Software tab, enable the ubuntu lucid partner. If it isn't available, click the Add button, and enter deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu lucid partner into the APT line box.

Ubuntu updates
Lucid Lynx has barely been out a day, but I now have a VM, a netbook and the desktop PC updated to the latest version of Ubuntu.
Everything went smoothly, until I messed up the grub update on the desktop (dual boot Vista and Ubuntu). For a brief while, I had a machine that would only come up with a grub rescue prompt. After a session with the Live CD, I now have a rescued desktop PC running Ubuntu Studio. As time goes on, I have less reason to use a Windows PC.
