Until tomorrow when the filter spins off

looked in to getting a prominent stone chip repaired.
Chips away couldnt help but me in touch with a company in Telford who us a machine to match the colour.

I was going to take the nose cone off but If I get a spare couple of hours tomorrow, I'll ride out to get it looked at

There was no oil under the bike this morning and I managed to get into work out so it looks like I've done it correctly. I checked the oil filter when I got into work and it hadn't moved.

Nah sailed through thanks.

Got soaked yesterday too. Was wearing leathers so was very cold. And at 80mph, big rain drops hitting your neck hurt. It was even hurting where the strecth panels were. A bit like playing airsoft with no clothes on.

Also, phone got ruined in my pocket. 1 of the buttons still dont work.

Nowt today, in fact havent rode it since Oulton nearly 3 weeks ago, its developed a real bad battery drain issue to the point that I'm seriously thinking of moving it on, Ive spoke to the dealer who sold it to me and its going back in the shop for the last time on Saturday, then may well trade her in for something else, dunno what tbh
