Just oiled the dead chain ..

.... ignored my badly worn tires, listened to my rattly cam chain for a few minutes while she warmed , put my winter wets on and hit the very wet , very open and clear roads for just over 400klms ... a bit of drizzle , cold as buggery for the first 3 hrs , then sun , dry roads and no traffic ....!!

what a lovely day ....

the first official winter run for the old girl ..... ran like a dream , squirmed everywhere in the wet , wobbled like chit every time I touched the dam wet white lines at speed !! ...but all bloody great fun !!!!

Sounds great Classic but I 'm gonna have to report your lack of maintenance
and care (lack of new rubbers ! ) to the Hurricane Maintenance ****'s (guess
what country they come from

Took my 93 to my kids softball game this morning ...... beautiful day and they
are top of their league.

I installed my new Pilot Road 2 rear after picking up a sliver of rock in the old one and being worn to the bars at only 2000 miles. Nice tire, feels like a new bike again.

Next up is the front, I haven't decided whether to stay with the Power up front or go with the Road 2.
