Not all today, but in the last few weeks.- stripped all the cats piss gold bodywork and tank off and replaced with the faster black variety- fitted new stanchions to the powder coated forks- took it for a ride and notices one was leaking- compared it to another FZS600 and realised the stanchions had some sort of spacer missing (fixed inside stanchion)- fitted replacement forks from a later model FZS600 (adjustable ones)- took bike for a 40 mile ride and realised there was a carb issue- spent 90 mins in the garage today removed the carbs and cleaned the jets - now to take it for another ride.
Took advantage of the overcast weather and had a pleasant 198 mile day out around the counties nearest to me.

Oooh overcast you say. Hmmm sounds like rain. Err Maybe tomorrow. Riding home from Dorset last week would have broken your heart, rain, rain, and then some rain. .The last few days in the sunny south have been a bit too hot for full leathers, which is my summer choice of riding gear, so a cloudy day was ideal for a day on the bike. Other than the burst water main, it worked out quite well
I remember when you first got that jacket. Very nice, and a 46 Euro, you truly are a racing snake. My RST is perforated, but not as much as your Spidi.

Feels as cool as riding in a tshirt. Mines a size 46 too but unlike sharpie's mine is the adult male size 46 🤣😜
