Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

What you all up to?

Going into town for an eye test then a spot of lunch with a beer or two. Gym later.

Sam is working tomorrow so I've got the kids but my daughter goes to dance at midday and my son is going to a mates party in the afternoon. Not sure what we're doing in the evening.

Might get out on the bike on Sunday. If not some cleaning and a brake fluid change on the SX.

survive it at work then get home next thursday

Surprise wedding reception for my Uncle and Aunt tonight.

Bike cleaning tomorrow I think. Brakes and chain are sound but the rest of the bike has a 'weathered' look after commuting in the shite weather this week. I'll give it a wipe over with an ACF soaked rag too. I also have a Tiger 800 top box that I need to give a wipe over before it goes on eBay along with a new in box Tiger 800 OE chain and sprocket kit.

Sunday I'm taking my boy Christmas shopping to buy something for his mum.

Do they expect it back clean?

Are we going to get a review?

Got the kids tomorrow as the wife is out.

Probably spend most of Sunday recovering from that.

Unless I'm really unlucky as the dining room is due to be painted.

Got man flu so bugger all,might take the rear shock off my bike ready for the new one

puppy training by the looks of it.

I'll be spending a bit of time trying to get my rear indicator fixed post wrecking it this morning :p

Sadly its going to have to be fixed with a new one... thinking of replacing the whole set... not sure if I should modernise and go after market or get Honda originals?? 2003 Fireblade... RETRO indicators....

get some nice arrow ones

The review is, it was bloody freezing. Still had snow on some of the roads I rode. Only did 55miles today as was short on time and started to get cold. I actually did 85 miles altogether as had to ride to the factory on my bike first.

SO mean I got to do 200 miles tomorrow. think I need a destination.

Took pics and I have to feedback about the ride anyway, but I'm afraid I can't pass anything on until it's released and the press have their say.

You have the perfect excuse for some selfish riding time.."Sorry Hun, I have too, it's my job"

They wanted to cover the whole bike to protect it from me, but I rode off before they could get the other rolls of tape.

Can't show my pics I don't think, but this is what it's like
