    We haven't had the "R" word here for a fortnight so even the waters of lake Exminster have receded. The Tarmac temperature is a bit low so my CorsaIII's will feel like an ironing board for a while but it's got to be done.

    Not sure - need to tax R1 if I can with just 'new keepers supplement' - no doubt if I go there with some cash beer tokens on bike I may just think sod it and get them to do it - its got to got to go over all those stickers etc.

    Done window frosting at work so its similar process

    Did the bike behave (electricity wise) today - it looks mint in those pictures - really think it needs those wheels powdercoated white to finish it off

    Agree about roads - the ones round here are terrible - worse I've seen them for a long time with huge sections 2 / 3" lower than rest of road.
