Anyway I feel Foccing horrible, dripping nose one minute blocked solid the next, ache in neck and back, coughing like a bastard, sore throat and earache.
Apart from that I feel fine. Really glad I had my old gits flu injection. Going to bed with a bottle, no, not hot water bottle.

I used to like southern comfort but a few years ago they reduced the alcohol content and killed it for me, it took away the smooth warm burn
Re: What did you do with whatever else you've got? - dazza - 11-01-17
With a cold snap closing in on us, thought I'd give the MT10 a spin out round the lanes while it's still relatively mild and dry-ish.
Lots of muddy roads and damp patches helped keep my wits about me but felt good to get out and ride.
Took her home and washed her down to remove the crud and salt and put her to bed.

That looks fast just standing still,dazza!
By the way does the oil?cooler have any protection from the s**t thrown up from the front wheel?
Re: What did you do with whatever else you've got? - robbo - 11-01-17
No need to worry about the oil cooler......the front wheels hardly ever on the ground, whenever I've followed it :lol .
Re: What did you do with whatever else you've got? - dazza - 11-01-17
Hello Dave, it did come with a silver guard as standard but not the rad. The first thing I did when I got it was fit a Beowulf rad and matching oil cooler guard. I must admit, it does look vulnerable down there which is why you have to wheelie everywhere, honest guv. :b

With the very thing I'm typing this on. I've been writing a book. Yes, me, writing a book.

And that is all I'm telling you about it :nana

[color=rgb(24, 36, 48)]What a cracking day that was - just the tonic I needed to lift the winter blues! [/color]
[color=rgb(24, 36, 48)]Hacked it down to the Filling Station cafe in Keswick for a bacon butty and cuppa. Usual welcoming, pretty smiling face serving at the counter The day was properly spring-like; mild, a gentle breeze, sunny. Roads were mostly dry (took a little care in shaded areas, where it was still a bit cool and damp), and was able to seriously wind the taps on :evil From Keswick, took the A591 down to Ambleside. Caught the beautiful stretch of grippy, winding tarmac down alongside Thirlmere almost empty; just a couple of bikes, riders obviously still in winter mode, and a couple of cars to zap past, the Striple screaming happily. Took a couple of snaps just outside of Keswick, but was having too much fun to stop for more:![[Image: DSCN8210_zps8tmkyuhp.jpg]](http://s1291.photobucket.com/user/nicknicklxs/media/DSCN8210_zps8tmkyuhp.jpg.html)

Stopped at Ambleside to wander round the outdoor gear shops, looking more for biking solutions than for the hills. Saw some interesting possible solutions to the problem of bulky bike gear - might have to go and try some things on, but didn't bother today. Got chatting to a nice young lady in one of the shops, and we both bemoaned the lack of imagination in colours of fleeces &c. :rolleyes Then back the same way, and this time caught the 591 by Thirlmere completely empty - yeehah! What a hoot! :evil Couple more shots from nearly the same place on the way back to the cafe.

Then ragged it past all the traffic on the 595 back to Carlisle, taking every fleeting chance to get past cars, lorries and tractors; seemed like I got home in about 2 minutes :lol [/color]

Don't you just love that short length of dual carriageway on the southbound towards Thirlmere ??

That stretch is too short! Proper little roller coaster. I take it you know the similar one along by Bassenthwaite Lake on the A66? Even better! It has average speed cameras on it now, but they're front facing
But the bit that goes alongside Thirlmere is my favourite. Get it during the day, during the week and it's often almost empty.

Ordered some stuff for the '88 FZR1000 I'm rebuilding/restoring. Yamaha "FZR pure sports" decal from Germany £50, a couple of nice lower frame rails from ebay £32 and a new Yamaha decal set for the R/H side panel from CNSL at £65. Its a shame the guy left it uncovered in his garden for 3 years, the sun faded the graphics on the R/H side.
Going to drop the engine and get it soda blasted and repaint it next.
