:o letting the side down here , only 1530 miles since last MOT :o ......
i did sort my spare wheel and tyre out which has excellent tread and a better tyre , in a rush this morning i soon had the rear wheel out ,new one has a good wavy disc on it so swapped the sprocket and cush drive rubbers over and offered the wheel up , thats when I noticed the lack of wheel bearings :o ........**** old one back in measure tread , got about 1.5 mm but looks a lot less.....just a mile to my local station that ive been using for many years , mentioned the tyre before the test and he was fine with it.....
the down side of not using It much over the last year , it ran a bit lumpy on the way home , running on 3.5 cylinders below 4000 rpm , suspect blocked pilot jet on one of the carbs , with the thou on sorn ,2 of my other bikes wanting MOT, s and another in bits thats put me off the road untill i have time to fiddle , will give it a service at the same time
update......day off today so had a look at the 600 , start with the easy things , plugs out and check for spark , all sparking but a little weak , sorted out a spare set , fitted and started well with a nice even tick over :thumbup .........took it for a nice long test ride and once more its riding / running well

Good day for a ride , probs done 60 ish miles , all the gear on inc zip in thermals and no problem with cold , sun even came out for a while.......got to take advantage of the odd good day at this time of year

One, is never going to be enough.....
