I like it right in the middle of the two...a white tail and maybe a white nosecone accent just to break things up a bit.

Emptied the oil and water.

Need to remove the crankcase cover to check the water pump seal. It can wait until tomorrow.

Stripped off the touring bits and cleaned it ready to see what i can get for it on Tuesday.

wiped the dust of the street triple

Knowing your tastes for the exotic Rocket

Ragged it around some back roads

Note to self, don't go chasing an F type when it's raining and you're on tyres that don't like the rain. If you want to look like Marquez, get a tan and learn spanish

Giving both of the bikes a good scrub.

I fitted a USB power socket near the ignition barrel as the factory 12V socket is a bit fussy, every plug or adapter that I have tried looses connection within a mile, and the Garmin does not switch to internal battery without tapping the screen so usually I miss the countdown and it turns off (useful).

Now it has a much better connection running from the same switched and fused power wiring.

Then it needed a test ride, a quick trip round the block took 4 hours

Washed it.
Lubed up the chain.
Realised that the white chain wax renders the gold chain redundant.

Hats off to you sir!

Pulled away from home, started off on the usual route through the local roads. Come up to a T junction to turn right.

There are a row of houses opposite me.

I clock movement in one of the windows, which I don't think much of until I realise it's a naked lady in her bathroom, stood facing towards the road behind the frosted glass

That cheered me up.

left it in the gagage, after 300 miles yesterday on the ninja I'm walking a bit like John Wayne today.....She has got to go, my first long ride on it since my off, my hand really started to cramp up after an hour or so, back to naked bike for me

If you want rid of the 600 & you want a new track tool that would suit you better Mick, perhaps this may be of interest to you.??

He does say he's looking for a 600 in part ex

I can't ride the ninja for more than 10 miles on the motorway without beginning to feel the joys of chronic pain

Got undertaken on an A road while I was doing about 75mph. He must have been doing over a ton.

It was a bloke on a 2016 z1000sx. Those guys are dicks

Nice bike though, it's the limited edition anniversary bike.

Did you take the same route today?

I take the same route every morning.

Nothing on display today.

Got the 675 built back up just the fairing to put back on now. Hopefully if the weather is good this week ill take it for a test run,

How long do you sit outside waiting for?

I didn't

I've put static cameras up on the opposite ride of the road.
