Bought a couple of new indicator bulbs.. Looked into the LED route, but it's way too complicated and I can't be bothered to work it out at the moment.

Left it at home. Some days it's too much hassle. I've got the work laptop with me and Friday is dress down day so I need a change of clothing. Given the choice of getting dressed and jumping in the car, or packing clothes and work and a laptop, kitting up, riding to work, getting changed etc it's an easy choice to make.

I reckon you could get a small slice of cake in there for emergencies...


I took the RSV out for a blast round some of the local lanes.. Had a good laugh as it was nice and warm. On the way home my visor was driving me nuts as it refused to stay open at all in any position, great when your going through town and want some fresh air..

Well I tried to tighten a few of the screws up to see if I could sort it out, and promptly broke the visor mount point (swear) (swear) (swear)

So thats my shopping list of bling for the bike thrown in the bin and a trip out tomorrow to buy a new lid...

Cleaned up the standard squeakers in preparation for the track day.

Also went shopping and ordered a new lid, fingers very very crossed that it will turn up during the week and be ready for collection next weekend. If it doesn't then I've got a bit of a problem !!!

Removed the rear wheel to finally sort my dodgy bearings out only to find I need a puller/slide hammer to get them out for my bike so Gunna leave the wheel off till I can borrow the tool from Alan and sort it
