Cleaned both bikes and checked them over.

Found the KTM had lost 2 bolts from the exhaust, located then both resting on the swing arm wedged into the rear suspension mount.

The vfr looked to be fine, the clutch and brake fluids look a bit crap though. I'll have to pick some up and flush the systems through.

Went for a nature hike this morning with the camera, then managed to get out for a long ride down to Wiltshire and back. Got a little chilly, but needed it, oh what fun.

Well apart from some B roads having what I can only describe as a dirt track middle, clear where the cars wheels tend to go, but serious mud and large chunks of flint and rocks.....I hit a few with the front wheel..... man you know when you catch something like that! Just in :)
Getting lighter later..... nice :)

Yep. By all accounts I can have a 4th bike but she reckons I'll really struggle to find enough space left in the garage for me to sleep with them.
