Just arranged to meet up with me mate and another fella fresh out from England. So meet up at 10.30 me on the FZ1, mate on his 900 Hornet and Andy on his 600 Hornet. Will be a slow one as Andy is not used to riding on the wrong side of the road. Just to piss you all off forecast for the next week here in Spain is wall to wall sunshine and 18/20 degrees.
Will post a few pic's
Looking forward to it Smile

Fitted a scottoiler, changed the oil & filter and eyed up other little jobs to do.

At the weekend, cleaned the rear caliper, bit of silicone grease around the pistons (have not got any red rubber grease) and fitted Galfer Semi-Metallic pads with a bit of copper slip as appropriate  Smile

Went for the G1054 compound after seeing good coments on here, cheers guys,
bought the same ready for the front, but not fitting those yet as I still have fair bit left on the fronts.

...... I don't like cleaning the bike, I prefer to ride it  :lol

Oh, and I have ordered some Bosch spark plugs  :pokefun

Just for you Slimwilly.
Todays ride out took place in glorious sunshine.
If any of you get out this way the photo with the bikes at a fountain is on the road to Guadalest which is in the mountains not really that far from Benidorm. There is a fantastic Motorcycle Museum here some fantastic old bikes and well worth a stop. Will post a few more pics in later.
really great day out. Just to cheer you up Spring is on the way I have Daffodils out in my garden already.

Just give her a wash after yesterdays run as they do still treat the roads up in the mountains here in Spain no sign of salt on the bike but my policy is look after it and it will look after you. Smile

Went out on the fazer to machine mart to get a ball joint splitter.  Not been out for a while and felt good.  Took out the delkavic exhaust baffle for extra fun.  Got the splitter home only for it to snap in half when releasing the lower ball joint on me mini. I think I over stressed it.  So back out on fazer for another one.  This time I tensioned the splitter on the joint, then applied blow torch flame on the lower suspension arm to release the joint. Made quite a  BANG when it gave way. 
Out n about on fazer, played with spanners and car passed MOT in the end. Enjoyable day really Tongue
