Tomorrow, Sunday 6th July. If the weather's kind I'm thinking of a trip to W.B. Getting there around 11.00-ish to grab a coffee, look at the shiny stuff and then maybe a bimble around before returning to civilisation.
Not an organised rideout as such but anyone up for it?

Yeh, I'll join you or meet you there.

May be. I'm going out at 10am with a neighbour who isn't the fastest around so we won't be breaking any records

Are you on an MT-09 auto now?

My MT07 auto is subject to an insurance claim and I've been given a Tracer 9GT manual. Nice bike, just a bit tall and heavy for me really. I filled it with fuel but it's going back as I can't get on with it, so I'm just going out to burn some fuel as it has to have just a quarter of a tank, and I'm not giving it back full

Busy tinkering today. Still haven't finished refreshing the Busa and getting its mot and tax. Kawa forks at Si's awaiting Kawasaki genuine parts getting to him...


... do not get fork seals and bushes from "The Bike Parts Warehouse" aka "Staffs Motorcycle Spares" they'll say parts have been despatched when Royal Mail actually receive them 5 days later so you get them 8 days after ordering and when parts do arrive they're the wrong ones

Weather-wise it's looking very iffy hereabouts up to late a.m. so won't be leaving Fort Phil until then. Now aiming for W.B. around lunchtime.

Ok, we had drizzle here but it seems to be brightening up now.
