    The 'soak' or tea-drinking phase. Organic, of course. Classy.

    Like making love to a beautiful woman etc blah blah. I need to get more sleep.

    Finished. No different, I reckon.

    2 hours I'll never get back. Not very good photos, I must admit.

    Your honesty is refreshing, Si. Not.

    I'm going for 'gritty' and 'urban'! Cost me a bleeding fortune.

    You're a pair of Cheshire attack dogs aren't you? Dead hard when there's two of you. Come on! Let's have it!

    This is becoming an epiphany for me. You've cleaned your bike, the sockdals are gone (gaitoots are on). Are you getting religion?

    Are you Jesus?

    Did Jesus cuddle me in the dark shadow of Southwark Cathedral?

    Rocking the sockdals this evening, Ken. Don't know how that fits in.

    Thinking about a onesy. Hell yeah!

    Got the worst of the brake dust and stuff off. But not all. I'm not getting stuck in with a toothbrush. I still have my dignity.

    Not done anything to my bike today (as I don't have it yet!) but as I am on a day off, I've tidied the garage in anticipation.

    Off to make a brew and then I'll hoover the garage floor :D

    Genuine Honda carbon hugger came today so I fitted that.
    Then fitted the USB socket and kept it connected.
    Boxed up all the original parts removed recently.:D

    So the sun was out for most including myself so spent the morning tinkering. First things first them rear foot pegs had to go followed by the fitment of some asv levers. Love having shorty levers again I forgot how much I missed them. Then out for the day scrubbing the rear tyre in. She's nearly there so will be buying some new leathers which i found today and riding hard soon. Also tried on the shoei xr1100 and that's going to be my new lid.

    Put on a new front tyre,SportSmart,What I thought was a warped disc is a knackered wheel bearing.so will have to order up a set and dust seals. Neutral light has stopped flashing so I rekon must of been moisture.But its still running rough at 2.5k-3.5k.
