    I swore a lot whilst trying unsuccessfully to retrieve a dropped battery bolt.

    I didn’t want to go for a ride anyway; it’s not like it’s the first warm and sunny day this year is it !

    Rode the Blade for the first time in 6 months.
    Went to CMC Claycross, shop was cramed full of new bikes, had a coffee then onto Matlock stayed there a short while then home, removed the chain oil off the wheels with baby wipes. Sooooooooooooo good to get back out on the bike again after so long incarcerated sat in the house these long cold months.
    Next trip out Minions in Derby for a 4k service.

    Rode out to Thruxton with a few mates to watch the BSB... Nice ride out there but boring ride home.

    Washed the bike, cleaned my leathers and boots due to being filthy from the mud at Thruxton.

    Now enjoying the WSKB recorded earlier!!

    200 mile run around Wales to scrub rear in. Police free, and a nice pace.

    fitted barneys carbon.............wish i had a '12 blade the fairings are much much easier to remove/replace than on the 08-10 blade.
    looks like honda mechs must have complained about old fairings, bet they havent reduced the cost of removal, on the service cost ?

    Just spent a second evening trying to repair/replace the flush syphon on our close coupled toilet (a hateful job), as I returned the tools to the garage at 9-20pm the air is full of the sound of race cans......LUVERLY.

    This is SUCH a good product, I can't tell you how great it is! Ive been testing this now in all kinds of engines from blades to mx and enduro and even industrial cutters etc! For me worth every penny! Been running it in my 2012 TDM and clocking up some miles NO problems at all also my WR450, 848 and blade are also benefiting from Evans coolant, long term peace of mind re servicing and added protection in use all the pros of Evans...

    Oh and many of my MX/Enduro customers are now free of boil up problems that have always been an issue on two strokes that were prone to cook on slow mud clogged enduros in the last month!

    If you have any questions just ask mate.

    Always great to hear good things about products I bought. I think I was the one that posted a old thread about this but was over a year ago. never got around to getting it and was not until i found out more via you using it Art i thought I better pull my finger out.

    Using it in my kit car should be good as it does have issues trying to keep the temp down
