4 holes? :eek I think it might be time for a new tyre. :rolleyes
Went for a run down in the borders this afternoon, back & cleaned the cows shit from the R1200RS, too many tractors on the roads at this time of year with cow shit spreading going on in nearly every field.
Otherwise a beautiful afternoon ride out.
Failed mot on fork seals yesterday so got them to stick a new rear tyre on while they had it picked it up today ready for a ride out to hartside tomorrow

I'll be up at the Hartside tomorrow, from about midday. Look for the ugly bloke with a filthy black Street Triple (just so you know who to avoid :lol ).

Took the FZS600 for an MOT today to 'A Force Motorcycles' in Aldershot, passed with no recommendations at all, so I am well pleased.
A Force Motorcycles is run by two brothers they are really helpful and very thorough with what they do.
I have been using them for about 3 years now and would recommend them.
Each time I have needed their services IE: Puncture repairs, MOT's and tyres they have been brilliant. Both brothers are very helpful and whilst Darren was MOTing my bike his brother noticing that the two Phillips counter-sunk screws holding the top of the front master cylinder were rusty and one slightly damaged (wrong screwdriver damage) replaced them both with new stainless steel replacements, no charge, that the sort of service I like.
I get all my Oil and Chain Lube from them.
If your local and need a job doing give them a bell: 01252 334151 'A Force Motorcycles'

So now we know how your bike looks so mint eh! Every time you pop in they also polish the shite out of another part of your bike with fresh Bumblebee jizz.
I'd take mine there but they may have to swap the bee for a horse
Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
