tried but it was full of people pretending to be bollards

Some of those on track today must be an absolute liability on the road.

I know it was only one session but....WTF.

Went to the lockup and did a bit of fettling on the track bike ready for next weekend.

Seem to have a minor issue with the Rev counter not charging again, but apart from that all good.

Spanked it on possible the best roads I've ever been on and that includes the Alps.

Took the RSV out for a couple of hours. My god I love that bike.

Downside, my hay fever didn't seen to appreciate the ride as much as I did. Now currently suffering with a cider..

Rode into work. The new Nolan lid sits differently than the last one on the neck, which means that the collar of my textile jacket gets pushed down. I'm not sat at my desk with a soaking wet shirt collar.

cleaning power valves

Wondered why i was getting so much vibration through the mirrors. Came home and found one of the two bolts holding the front nose to the main frame of the bike had worked loose and dropped off. I haven't got a replacement but I've managed to find a bolt that's doing the job while I wait for the new one

Get some Loctite Kwacky and it will sort all these little niggles your getting.

Just get the low strength stuff which is still easy to remove but stops vibration working things loose which you don't want.

I'll order some now boss. I forgot last time you mentioned. It must be my age,

No worries. Glad to help. It's cheap and really useful stuff. Couple of quid on ebay and small enough to go through the letter box so you don't even have to wait in for a delivery. Win win.

Enjoyed my vibration free mirrors this morning

took the forks off the zx10r ready for the seals to be done next week

quick wash of the bike and a clean and wax of the chain

Took it down to Bracknell to pick the wheels up and say good bye.

I have had lots of good times on it and was sad to see it go you will be missed.

Cracking bike. Someone has landed on their feet with that.
