Knackering day.....on the , yay! Did loads of the gnarly little mountain roads in the Lakes, including Honister, Wrynose and Kirkstone passes. But quite a few other roads around here are similar in steepness, and they require constant concentration. It was actually pretty warm in the sun too, to the point where getting the colder winds at the tops of the passes was a relief!

It's a fabulous place; the sense of remote, open space is fantastic up here, one of my favourite in the region.

Looks a lovely ride and cracking weather for it too.

I really need to get myself over there at some point. So many nice places not far from my doorstep and I never think to bother.

It it just me -- but everytime I hover the link to this thread I get a shock when it says "ok stolen" - my heart sinks and then read the rest that says "from another thread"

Took it out for a quick spin to Cheddar via Chew Valley , Blagdon and Burrington Combe, New Rst boots were fine.

Went down to Loomies @ West Meon this arvo was a nice sunny blast, shame in some ways I had 4 wheels, but, still great with the rag top down. Lots of bikes there, spotted a really clean Blue Fazer on my way down he was headed towards Petersfiled on the A272 my guess it was about 3-45 Dunno if it was a FZS6 or a FZS1 (Certainly a Gen 1) Rider had a very clean looking fluro waistcoat on.
If it was you put your hands up, not that anyone is going to admit to owning a blue one

MOT just done on Friday with no printed advisories.

Guy recommened new chain and sprockets so back end stripped ready for parcel arriving tomorrow!

I've just ordered a set too, let me know how it goes as this'll be the first time I've actually changed a chain on a motorbike, yes I know it's totally disgraceful with all the years riding I've done

Went up to Pateley Bridge and Grassington then roundabout route to Squires, still pretty busy at 3.30.

Skippernick · « **Reply #5918 on:** 17 April 2016, 08:39:07 pm »

Put my new chinky levers on, £15 well spent i reckon. Then went for a quick blast. Then washed it.

Are they the ones made out of carrot that snap the first time you pull hard on the front brake or are they the celery ones.

Don't listen to me I haven't got a clue what I'm talking about.

tommyardin · « **Reply #5920 on:** 17 April 2016, 10:02:55 pm »

But I would still pull on them very hard whilst stationary just to be sure with cheap imports, If you do snap it at least your life is not at risk.

Did a bit of overall cleaning, re-oiled the chain and fitted one of these:

Haven't wired it up yet but looking to use a switched live from ignition.
