Not actually been out on my bike today but I finally bit the bullet and went on a website and booked an important thing that loads of people have been nagging me about....but I'm not saying when it's booked for
Cleaned the calipers and replaced the pads and caliper pins after an almost catastrophic brake failure on the M6 left me doing 200 miles with no front brakes.....obviously someone upstairs lookin out for me as if they had failed the day before I'd prob not be here to tell the tale :( having done 250 miles of fast twisties round the borders :) still....best not to dwell on that too much!
on the bike today,speedy 600 collected by bike shop last night for investigation into premature death of alternator in Grantham,hope it's something simple.....and cheap!!tiger 900,started sorting luggage arrangements for KISS rally ,remenmbering yo allow for 2 people's crap,not just mine!!xxxx
