Hey Mark that is a top bargain you got there

I know how much they cost to buy new

I also know how much they cost to spray

Good result.

100mile round trip to Shaftesbury Dorset oooaarrrr get off my land
In the Freezing fog this morn. Collected some spares from the office then back home.
Bloomin eck I had to ride a lot of the last leg with my visor up, heading into Shaftesbury as it was crazily dense fog and started to mist up inside nooooooo. Ride back was better after a coffee and I'd thawed out my hands
I was hoping to take a spectacular photo of bike in the countryside but too foggy so photo when I got home instead

Another 150 miles on the fz1 with stinkerbell daughter as pillion.
Blackpool to Lancaster, up to milnthorpe, bowness, Ambleside, conniston, ulverston, saw my dad at the ice cream van in bardsea, then home again.
Daughter is knackered bless her!

Went along a stretch of the Charlbury TT. Then came back the other way. Then turned around and did it again. Then turned back and did it once more. Tomorrow I might do the same.

I've been watching the video I took of it too.

Well, I like it!

My first ever trackday at Snetterton.

AMAZING day out.

Fog threatened to ruin the day, as well as freeze off my fingers.

Chicken strip ALL gone on the back tyre!

Legs sore today though.

Yesterday a friend helped me fit my new did chain and sprockets and my wesmoto brake hoses . Chain was easy . Brake hoses took no time to fit but took forever to bleed ! They look great now ,amazing the difference a good chain makes .

Fitted my scottoiler yesterday, but not entirely happy with the setup... I don't like the idea of the table ties or ugly straps and mounts for the injector but it may be necessary to keep the bastard thing in place...

As the weather improved significantly I ended up heading in to Wales - up to Monmouth, across to Abergavenny (road that I used had an appauling surface - won't be using that route again), then ended up in Brecon, down to... I have no idea where... across to Cardiff and home. A good 160~ miles covered

Hmmm, yes, looking forward to that "new chain kit" feeling myself. Was supposed to have been replaced yesterday, but the Renthal black rear sprocket didn't turn up, now turns out they don't do that one in black

Just adjusted the old one - definitely on it's last legs. I had to use a compromise between being a little too tight on it's tight spot, and still a bit loose everywhere else to ensure I can ride it today - hope it's ok, sounds a bit slappy!

Fitted new, part worn tyres and new chain and sprockets to my spare 600.....need to repair the previously bodged speedo drive and repair a crack in the front mudguard and then its getting close to mot time....

Accidentally ended up going out for a ride again today... seems a shame to waste the good weather on anything else ^^

Only did about 60-80 miles - up the A38 and back down the A46

But, for the first time since ownership, the thou forced me to the side of the road

The gear selector came away from the mechanism - the bolt holder it on to the engine decided to make a bid for freedom. Thankfully had a few basic tools under the seat so was able to re-attach it and get myself home

Had a nice ride round east herts with my son on the back, ended up at the silver ball, nice sunday dinner

H's today, very busy unsurprisingly:

Pick of the bunch for me today was this nice ZRX - very clean, and with some nice touches:

Then up to Burford, Charlbury TT to A44, up to Moreton in Marsh, across to Cirencester, Lechlade and home. 145 miles in this beautiful summery weather, couldn't miss it! And, thank the Lord, the chain held out

I did pretty much the same this afternoon. Left work at 2.00 into gorgeous sunshine, so just had to go home via the scenic route. What's usually 20 mins between J5 and J2 of the M6 ended up as 2 1/2 hours from Castle Brom, up the A38 to Burton-on-Trent and down the A444 back to Coventry. Oddly enough it took me past my old test centre and along my Mod 2 route. Can you get nostalgic after only 9 months?

Pushed the bugger up two flights of stairs... Fat foccer it is. Lucky my bro was there to lend a hand.

More than made up for it when I took it out for the first run this month though, new chain and sprockets are running sweet.

Took my r1 forks and put new seals in, fitted .95 springs and fitted the whole lot to the fazer! Infinately better than std forks. Decided to put more threads on the stem and cut the top off so we didnt need to use a spacer, meaning it is 12mm higher than a normal r1 fork install. Everything went smoothly....
