    Started to give it a full on clean - all plastics removed

    Rad soaking in warm water - Its not pretty but its not been done in 80,000 miles and if you only knew what it has been ridden through.

    In last 3 / 4 months it's had:
    New chain and sprockets
    New Headstock bearings
    New wheel bearings front and rear
    Air filter cleaned yesterday, oil and filter will be changed this coming weekend
    New brake pads front and rear
    New tyres
    Coolant will be replaced when rad goes back on.

    Plugs were changed about 10k ago so good for another 20k

    Took my forks off, they had a full service, new seals, re shim, new oil, racetech compression valves and springs to suit my weight, just put them back on :)
    now just got to find time for the full 16k service and smaller front sprocket, must hurry, spring is only a few weeks away
    I know what my next days off will be assigned to ;)

    Took my blade for its first MOT (3 years old 1st march) and it FAILED due to exhaust noise. Massively annoying. Its a Leo Vince GP Pro and it had the db killer in. Now fallen out with my local Honda dealer.

    Spent a while cleaning up the front of the engine and round the spark plugs / connectors to remove all the road grime and junk

    Put the air collector box and air tube gaskets back on

    Cleaned R&G guard up which needs a light sand prior to a spray with satin black

    Next is to prep the sides of the radiator for a coat of paint - may get the polishing buff out and apply some to the downpipes before the rad goes back on over the weekend

    Need to cut out the long dead Datatool 'Snitcher' which was hard wired in - switched 12v socket also removed.

    Fitted the Oxford Nanos to the back after improvising and spraying some washers to fit them to the R&G Tail Tidy. Must say I am not impressed with R&G, emailed them last weekend about the proper bits and have heard f@#k all back from them. Won't be buying any more of their kit if that is their attitude.

    Rode in driving rain to town... Then treated the bike to an 8000mile service, new front tyre (PR3) and front brake pads... They even gave it a wash...

    Driving rain again home... Boy is is wet... Thought I might have to get off and swim on the M4 at times...

    Then yesterday I visited Blackpool Honda, great bogs by the way! Then back via as many back roads as i could find to Preston Harley Davidson for a mooch round some Big Shiny Bikes

    I just love watching the sun go down after a cracking day in the saddle.
