Feck me that was cold. It was nice, dry and sunny when I left the house. It seemed to get colder and darker as the journey went on.

Obviously lucky down here. It was warm enough that I turned the heated grips off for the first time in weeks.

Was a bit wet on the roads though, had a massive spin-up overtaking a couple of cars. That woke me up I can tell you.

Looked at it.
Made a half-hearted promise to myself to get it out and clean it.
Went back inside.

Looks like it's time for the tinted visor. Having the sun in my eyes for most of the commute makes filtering a bit more risky.

Found a slight problem, the rear seat won't lock unless I wiggle the relay block, it's catching the release cable so I need to dismantle the back end again to make sure everything is routed correctly. That will keep me entertained for a bit

Done, the ECU had moved up on its rubber mounts but the whole tail of the bike has to come apart to get to it, and one of the new bolts from the shad kit stripped its head, old mechanic's trick got it out without a drill, smack a spline drive bit in there with a medium sized hammer... Is it bad that one whole draw of my toolbox is dedicated to hammers of various sizes and weights?

Yep, I had a full dark visor on this morning. Made overtaking the marked police car doing 40 on the country lanes a bit more fun.

New tyres and brake pads fitted.

Just need some spare time now and shes going out for a spring run.

Hummmmmm. Snow foam...

The muc-off jet wash is pretty good, noisy but good.

Pwoah.. snow foam!!

I reinstalled the rad and did the fluids. Looks like I need to drain some oil back out though. Over filled it somehow.

No rush any more.... I dont think my trackday in Spain is going to happen.

Thought about fitting the new battery in the 999, think I’ll do it tomorrow instead

Fitted the battery, took a lot less time than I thought

Gave the Versys a once over and lubed the chain.

A frosty one this morning. The roads seemed as busy as usual.

Roads were very quiet up here. Hopefully that will be a positive from all this, that people realise they can work from home and it can be effective.

There was an early frost here, but it cleared by the time I got in the bike.

Nice ride on bright sunlight, the roads round here are quieter though.

Dry ride home but still cold. I reckon the traffic was about 20% lighter as well.

I've put the tinted visor on the Nolan.

The roads were about 60% of the usual amount of traffic this morning.

Took me just over 30 minutes to get into work.

We've had a couple of years like that recently.
