Hosed it down with cold water and cleaned paintwork and plastics. Discovered an indicator lens has (been ) broken off, ordered new one with seal.Still difficult to stop myself from doing a thorough clean when it gets in this state, but trying to trust the ACF underneath all the crud.Next job: new chain kit, as there's first evidence of rear sprocket teeth just starting to hook.
Attempted to fit purdy new nitron rear shock only to find the top spacers they provided are too big (40mm as opposed to 35mm!)Then headed round my mates workshop to replace fork oil seals as one was leaking, figured I'd upgrade to Ktech springs to the front shocks along with replacing the bushes whilst everything was open, discovered the leg that was leaking oil had been butchered when removing the leg previously, 2 deep score marks where the upper bush seats (presuming made by a screwdriver) thus creating extra pressure on the oil seal.My mates not convinced it will hold so I have to replace the right leg, he also showed me the badly pitted stanchions, so it's going to cost me a fair whack to sort out.I have fingers crossed the seals will hold but it's doubtful, going to have to avoid all potholes and no wheelies for a while!

We're off out to Whitstable as a family today, I think I'll let them go in the cage and I'll take the bike!
And just spent an hour riding around fruitlessly looking for a shop or business with a pun in it's name for the next challenge on that particular forum. the only one I knew of has recently changed it's name! Bugger
I can't remember who, but someone was recommending quite a cheap blutooth one recently.
