Was it from a website? Any links?

Sorry mate I'm crap at posting links,
It was http://www.megamotorcyclestore.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They've got some great deals.
I've got a one piece RST leather suit I've never worn and was gonna sell but the fit and the comfort is far better than my two piece Astars suit so I've decided to sell those and get a jacket for work and wear my RST leathers on a rideout.

Bollocks, only small and medium left. Still, seems to be a good selection of stuff on there, will have a proper look when I'm not supposed to be supervising people!

Rode it to work with no right side indicators. I suspect that Friday's drenching has allowed some water to get in somewhere as both of the lights are out but the left side is working. I did get a flicker of life when I was at work so hopefully the bike outside in the open will allow any condensation to dry. I'll have a good look at the switchgear and give it a clean when I can.

Cheers Mr Perkles. I probably will when the snow comes.

Apart from try and resolve clutch problems (see separate post in project section) I also stripped and serviced the front brake calipers yesterday.

Fortunately they were quite easy to bleed as well.

What a fecking shock just had a call about the £20 jacket they haven't got any left in any colour in any fecking size I think someone did a boo boo with price.

Isn't that the old George White address?

My first reaction was for a refund but I've more or less sold my Astars jacket and jeans on eBay and don't want to commute to work in a one piece leather suit so I need a jacket, after three phone calls and me ranting about being in retail for over 30 years and my dissapointment of there customer service and ended up getting a jacket for not a lot more than £20 so reasonably happy.

Result I say :-) Bratty 20-30quid for a jacket is pretty good. Can't really get any better unless you go off to the market lol!

Gave it a quuick wash. Nothing special but enough to get the recent dust and mud off it.

Repainted the man shed floor ready for the new bikes arrival,hopefully get it tomorrow

It turns out that the wonky indicator isn't water but a failing relay. So I've had to order a new one.

Defo looking forward to a littoe write up of your first ride on her??!

Replaced a couple of decals that had been damaged.

Realised how bloody expensive petrol is again.

Almost £20 to fill up a bike.
