Often I find myself wondering - why am I spending hundreds of hours of my wages on insurance, bits and bobs like chains and tyres. Craning around lumps of cow skin. Squirting odd liquids onto bits of metal.

Then days like this come along. Cool

Is there anything better than spending an hour out in the sun on your bike?

I haven't found it yet.

For me, not having a garage, this is the first day I've had a chance to sort all the things I need to.

Today I've adjusted and cleaned the chain, freed up the front disc bobbins and changed the oil. And now I can go for a ride without worrying about those things Very Happy

Weather made the ride back to Uni all the more pleasurable.

Hopefully it keeps it up.

Titting about in the garage with the bike and the sun was shining Thumbs Up
You`ve just got make sure it`s running all right , hav`nt you Smile

Took her for a bit of a spin and then topped up with the go-juice.
The first time in about two months that I`ve actually managed to get out on the bike without getting soaked or frozen Smile

Some fresh air in my lungs and the bike went well! , today was a good day

Went to and from the mcn show from NW London, loads of bikers around. Could just see the jealousy coming from drivers in traffic and their cage

Just got my ER6 back in rolling action again today. The forks were off to replace the seals, had to put the whole jigsaw back together. Took the opportunity to clean the fairings when they were off. Almost like a whole new bike now, way less rattles after I put the pieces back with a little bit of dampening.
