Howdy,

This type of thread seems to be a common one on some of the other moto websites I frequent so I thought I'd start one here. I always seem to be interested in what wrenching others are up to be it mods, reg maintenance,
R & R, etc.

So, what have you done?

Oh, and I can start with I re-adjusted/aligned my front end as per CBRClassics suggestion and did an oil/filter change.

Rode it about 160 K's and nearly fell on a wet and sandy road.

Got her out, checked the tyre pressures and started her up (she hasn't moved for a week and a half)
Going to blow the cobwebs away tomorow as I will be using her for work again for a while

Picked the new colours yesterday and took her for a 90 mile ride this mornin. Felt good in the sun. Killed a load of flies and washed them off this afternoon. At last some good weather to play in

Just took her out for an hour and a half thrash around the country lanes . Round here the only time you can let her rip is Sunday , early morning or late evening . The rest of the week there's too much traffic to have real fun

I had a cracking ride to work this morning
I leave for work at 5:10 am and the roads are pretty empty at that time, so I pull into the petrol station to get fuel and an '94 Ducati pulled onto the next pump at the same time, anyway to cut a long story short we played cat and mouse for the next 20 miles.
Great fun, almost worth going to work for (almost)
