    My first bike was a 2004 sv650s, I bought it in 2010 and it had 1200 on it from new. Utter bargain.

    Got a Sportsbikeshop discount code today so have treated myself to a disc lock - wanted something that I could stow under the seat just to use when I park up for a bacon butty and brew sort of thing. Went for the yellow version of the Oxford Monster already reduced so saved £30 on the £70 list price. Got a yellow coil reminder for it - not worth not having one for just a couple of quid

    You’ll be taken back at how little effort is needed

    I got an oxford disc lock with alarm, think it was about forty quid, with reminder. i have still forgotten and set off with it on.

    i hope it is easy, the rear paddock stand i have now needs two to do and its hard to do. I want to get the front wheel up as apparently the front caliper is binding

    Rode to Mablethorpe for a bacon butty but cafe was closed so ride up to Cleethorpes for a Starbucks and to warm up as it is colder that it looked. Next stop is fuel as despite the range guesstimator saying I have 50 miles left I have done 155 miles on the trip counter and don't trust the estimated range to not plummet over the next few miles.

    Then home before the rain comes!

    Just above the fuel gauge. What you don't have one, have you checked everything? Maybe it is a secret screen you have to get Honda to activate, or maybe it's because I don't have a blade :p
