Nice ride, went to H's cafĂ©, big breakfast, very tasty - saw 2 gen1s together but they were leaving as I arrived so didn't get to say hi. Alex George, as reported elsewhere, now taken over by Infinity, got a pair of Spada Enforcer gloves there on a whim, nice n warm combined with the heated grips. Filmed the Charlbury TT but camera was on pissed! Oh well, still good enough to start learning those bends properly. A44 to Broadway fun, but a little too much traffic to really enjoy. Pity about the camera, light was good for filming and caught some nice autumnal scenes, Cotswold villages &c. Always another time and will be more careful setting up next time!  :)
 
Then gave it a good clean, so all shiny in the garage again now. :)

Didn't do anything with bike Saturday but today: Drained old coolant & removed radiator & fan for better access to front of engine for cleaning & repainting front engine mounts etc where there is a bit of corrosion (only surface). Removed each exhaust header nut one by one & refitted with a bit of copper grease on studs-all ok! Removed front mudguard ready for removing front wheel, forks etc.

Put it back together minus AIS , thanks to all the good advice on here ,  new plugs fitted , new coolant , new tank cover (supplied by Devilsyam Luke top bloke ), started it up to let it warm up , check for leaks and took it out for a 60mile first ride since HTB  as the roads were dry , no new vibrations , no missing , very responsive , so I think I haven't focced it up , Removed battery when I got back .

Not been out for months due to a dodgy knee. Out for a brief trip today so after a few coughs the Mighty Thou powered up and ran like a dream.

Oh how I love my bike.  :lol

Went to the Valencia moto gp, great atmosphere, 100,000+ Spaniards in full voice, racing like watching paint dry, it looks much better on TV. Would rather been at a local Irish road race much more fun from a spectators point of view as in metres away from the action, not lioke the 100 metres we were today and we had decent seats.

Spark plugs changed, Forks out front calipers off for cleaning&new seals. Front braided lines fitted, front master cylinder overhauled with Yamaha kit. Having some fun & games trying to remove front caliper pistons. They pop out so far but if you remove two how do you get sufficient air pressure to remove the ones on the opposite side?-have been using a footpump with home made adaptor to fit. Any ideas welcome
