If you take the inside line on that bend in the Glossop direction you can't help but notice them it's like a bucking bronco ;)

Rocket I'm guessing for the next few months your going to be very cautious road riding. I just hope that doesn't make you feel slow in any way. Take your time riding to your normal pace, it's not a race to get back into full swing of things

Cheers Rossgo , I'm not to fussed how fast I am. I'm over thinking things at the minute instead of just chilling out and going with the flow. I need more time in the saddle but the weather is not on my side at the moment.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Fitted the new steering damper on the Multi last night, couldn't figure out why it wouldn't go together properly then after a process of elimination realised the arm off the damper had the wrong size hole in it to take the sleeve that fits over the fixing screw (blush) . A little bit of drilling later and it was done. just have the new stronger side stand bolt to do next (y)

That's what you get for posting using the phone before the eyes have actually woken up.

Completed a mega clean on the S 1000 R, so much so my fingers hurt ha ha, its only when you get right into a proper deep clean you notice all the little bits of corrosion (nothiiing major - cleaned and polished) and little dinks from stones and other such road crap.... most annoying (swear) but what can you do (gah)

Anyway from this

Looking smart, Frankie.

I wouldn't worry about the small marks and corrosion, just think of all the smiles and fun you had making them.

Me and Perkles went to Lucy's for breakfast

I had a go on Perkle's bike. I don't think he intended for me to ride it pretty much all the way there (lol)
