Nowt to the bikes,but been out freezing my ass off,hacking away garden debris,trees and brambles beside the garage for next storage area / workshop extension to have some elbow room to work in..:/>
Well...once i'd walked the dog,i decided to go out for a local potter about ,and 140 miles later,and a hoon around the Cotswolds and Malverns,loads of bikes out and about to wave at,thoroughly enjoyable ...if the weather holds up,i might start taking the Speed Triple to work and back,only 12.5 miles there,but some fun backroads..:)>
Met up with some folks at the Ace Cafe for breakfast and then a 50 mile ride to H Cafe near Oxford for a coffee. Good to see Normski who rode 200 miles south just to meet up for some grub
Took duff battery off Tiger and into shop for post mortem...and replacement under warranty...:/ Prognosis was "must have been a duff one,new one here on Wednesday..":)>
Filling new battery for Tiger with acid (far out,man) then popping onto trickle charger for slow charge to 12v +..stripping carbs to clean out properly and check over..not used far enough,often enough..:(>
Picked new 2 me up yesterday afternoon 150 miles later am nearly used to it now Off out for another bimble country lanes this time. I had forgotten the fun on a thumping big single hehe
An extra-long day,but still plenty of sun left,so a scamper out on Rudolph the Speed Triple,till the fuel light came on,then home after sunset to walk the pooch..:)>
Fab ride out in the countryside to burn the last of the rubber..back home mobile tyre fitter came with bikes new shoes only took 30 mins to fit and 10% off for giving a review last time he fitted them..happy days
Managed to get back just as the rain arrived tonight,after a blast up to shunt buses at work,after a charity fundraiser...saves having to dry the leathers out again,thank Odin..:)>
