Washed all the muck of 1200 miles in Wales and playing around between Oxford and Chippenham off. Rode to Cirencester on a nearly bald rear tyre, front not much better, in showers, wet & greasy roads. £236 and 2 new PR2s later, rode back again, roads still a bit slippy, and now got to wash it again. One of my least favourite conditions today - don't you just hate that fine spray from all the oncoming traffic, mixed with splatted flies on the visor, so you can't wipe the spray off or you'll just smear all the flies...And somebody tell me, why is it that as soon as you do clean your visor, the biggest, juiciest fly heads directly for it, splat! right in your line of vision?!
Do you ever use it in the rain?
Stripped down the entire front end ready to try and knock the head bearing races out when time and patience allows :PRan out of sun-light and dry-ness today... aka it decided to throw it down and I got soaked trying to rescue my tools
The missus woke me up at 5 am, so hopped on my bike and headed to Whitstable in Kent, then headed back for a nice ride along the A28 then the A251 back to Faversham. Then proceeded to clean and polish followed by an oil change, then a second ride out for 30 miles or so. Really got the bug back again now - just in time for winter!
Got bored so had a few beers and took all the allen bolts out of the filler cap and cleaned them!!

Are you expecting the RSM to come round with the ol' white gloves?! "Private Doddsie, there was a speck of dust under the key cap, that's your weekend pass cancelled!"
