Gave it a wash when I got home. It's not been cleaned for a bit and it's starting to look grubby

I noticed that with the RSV. It's not had a proper clean off over the last 3 or so rides, its well over due.

If it's dry on Sunday morning I might try and get it out for a proper clean off. Hopefully going to get it booked in for a service next month.

Finally got around to ordering up a new chain and "exciting" gearing for the NC29. Hopefully I'll have time at the weekend to fit the freshly rubbered, newly powder coated wheels and final drive. Not far away now :-)

Fitted some dinky indicators tonight to the rear, and stuck on a reflector, as when I put the tail tidy it got removed

weaved through the motorway traffic until I realised I was now alongside a police range rover. The driver pissed himself laughing then waved me on. Top bloke.

Not today but yesterday has to be one of the best and worst biking days of my life.

Rode 462 miles straight across 3 different country's. Rode 12 hours solid only stopping for petrol, red bull and Snicker's.
Only wimps rest their weiry limbs, haha, lol.

Highlight was knee down on the B500 with panniers on (raaar)

Lowlight was riding the 12th hour dodging potholes at motorway speed in complete darkness whilst trying to read a satnav that had gone all weird colours in night time mode when I'm colour blind and constantly checking if one of the head lights in the darkness behind me was my good mate young Bratty (swear)

Perfection and hell all in one day (lol)
