I know the feeling. I toyed with the idea of a run out today...got myself nicely convinced. Then realised that the MOT was due sometime soon.....checked it, and the bugger expired yesterday :mad2 :mad2

At least I have 3 days off work next week, so MOT on Tuesday. Then out at Oulton Park on Saturday on the trackbike

.....am lining up a sacrificial goat for good weather

Loadsa bikes out round here today, even though it took til about 3pm for the roads to dry out.

Didn't get out meself as I've still got a few bits to sort on the bike. Replaced lhs gasket today, new gearbox oil, adjusted the clutch up, lubed the cables etc now just need to change oil n filter then refit the exhaust system, change rear pulley and speedo. Oh and head bearings. Should be sorted in a week or two

Oooeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

You doing a bit of moon lighting now Mike?

Chance would've been a fine thing

Spent the afternoon cleaning her Hornet - seeing as I've been using it for work on and off, trying to avoid particularly salty days, without much luck it would seem!!!!

Chain's foooked even though it's been lubed, siezed links in patches, fork legs are in pretty bad shape - bubbling a bit and there's one or two other areas look like they'll erupt sometime soon!!!

Anyone ever powder coated fork legs successfully?

Oh well it'll give me more things to keep me occupied when not blatting about on the Storm this Summer!

Fook knows when I'm going to get time to do the project
