Not today but in about 8 hours, getting on a plane with 4 kids to the south of France.
We took our first child backpacking in Vietnam, but the twins and middle child haven't really left Buxton so looking forward to watching their reactions when we take off.
Needless to say they are somewhat excited

Re: Project ZX6R
It's been cleaned more than it's been ridden this year. That'll soon change.
I had some black screen bolts on before. I'll see if I've still got them.
Lots still to do on the bike but it's getting there.

Re: Cav's ZX6R
That's the problem with Triumph owners these days :D I just know I have difficulty getting the bloody thing off! I'll be contorted over the bike with my foot on the rear brake and a mighty long torque wrench to try and get leverage. I came across a deep 28mm socket ...

Re: We are being taken for mugs
... not an option especially when the western Nations are so massively in debt. It riles me so much because this is part of my job and the taxman is getting ever harder on small business and tax payers as apparently they need every penny. Yet big business and the wealthiest are left well alone.

Good luck getting the front sprocket off on your own. Kawasaki are notorious for it.

Re: What are you doing today ??
I've found a shop specialising in enclosures for various reptiles, amphibians and inverts. I've been in touch with them about getting a custom made set up for my new spider. It won't be cheap but it should look good once it's set up. This is the sort of stuff they do. Mine should look ...

Makes total sense to test it first rather than adjust it blind.. also be prepared to reset all suspension settings to the book!
I love that excitement of getting a new bike!

Re: Slappers in France - June 2016
Monty, I don't think mine was ever designed to be waterproof. It doesn't look like it. I've certainly come home enough times with a bag full of water.
I know about the liners but that doesn't stop the water getting in and the front pouch getting soaked. The Overboard stuff is roll top and very good.
