Changing the oil in my bike (completely by myself this time) in a rather crazy way. You see, I couldn't actually undo the sump plug with my spanner because the spanner was too long so I needed a way to lift my bike a bit further off of the ground. Who needs a paddock stand!

Also, I haven't slept in more than 24 hours now, but it's such a fantastic day outside! The sun was shining and everything and it was so glorious to feel that tiny bit of extra power out there on the tarmac.

Argh, I'm going crazy. I'm going to pass out now.

What do you mean by this? Good imagination though for the oil change, but treat your bike to a wash Smile

I mean my bike went faster after an oil change. I had basically left it far, far too long.

And yes, yes, yes. There is more rust on my bike. There was a lot less of it at the beginning of the year, I shall be cleaning my bike again soon!

I think you are mostly seeing the rust on parts of my exhaust and rear shocks. Both are actually in a lot better condition than it appears in the photo. My beautiful layer of chrome is finally starting to disappear Crying or Very sad

Hmm, yes I should adjust my preload. I'm kind of used to it being so soft now though.

A GRP 50 and a weird 125 naked 4t...

Wait until you do it with something that includes an engine. Hoisting my CBR up for things is always fun.

I love the sly creaking noise the roof makes as the bike settles... like some scene from Titanic or such.
