So gave bike a quick polish for Cassington, cos I can't let Red98 get away with that! (although I'm guessing he's got the kind of bike that if you looked at it too long it'll probably burn your retinas out )

Fitted a rack and cave
Today I reflected on the fact that I learned to ride a motorbike to save 20 minutes on my commute, yet ended up taking a 75 mile two hour 'scenic route' detour today.

Bike now runs smoother than Gershwin sliding down a greasy pole on a toboggan (to mix your metaphors). So smooth! Hey christo, if you got someone else to balance the carbs for you then out of interest how much did it cost?,mine could do with a fettle and although it would be easier to just ask my local garage since you've mentioned it & you is in the land of expensive then would be good to have a ball park figure to compare against.cheers!Paul (the mechanic) is a friend of mine - for fitting the plugs and balancing the carbs, he charged me £50. Minus £10, as I'm a starving student and he's a nice chap, and minus another £5 for finding some info on his bike on the interwebs.cheers christo , so ill use 50 bucks as my ball park figure which i wouldnt mind paying once a year to keep it sweet, if it gets close to the 100 bucks mark ill be tempted to buy some guages and do it myself.buy some gauges NOGGY.......you know it makes sense ....................Im gonna check the how to's for DIY on night shift tonight,i hope it doesnt get too complicated, you are right red it's gonna make sense & after the 1st time it'll hopefully be a doddle......surely there should be a badge i can stitch onto my leathers for achieving such tinkeringbility too....a fazer city & guilds qualification perhaps
