Therapy (rock)

Working with the spanners stripping bling of the ZX10R. There is something therapeutic IMO about working with your hands and spinning the spanners on a motorcycle (lol) god it feels good (y)

That's "Zen And The Art Of Motorcycle Maintenance"....by someone or other??

Or "Round The Bend" by Shute.....similar vein re: aeroplanes. It's a very good read.

I was really lucky today with the traffic. I left early and got to my destination in under 2 hours. Thankfully the copper was there early as well so I didn't have to wait around.

I filled in for three different roles and as mentioned swapped from nights to days half way thru'. Bit of a surprise especially since the Ops Super that gave it to me is my lest favourite out of the lot!!
Thats pretty awesome! The last reward i got from work for similar flexibility and working a lot of overtime was a company mug... No message in that at all..
That's pretty rude, but did give me a laugh (lol)

Getting stressed out. Should GBE left about an hour ago, but I've spent must of the day trying to work out why the KTM didn't want to keep the lovely new oil I gave it.

Ended up having to do aw hour round trip to premier bikes (KTM dealer) as the oil level tube had split.

Now I've got a crap load of stuff to sort, and the packing to do, and a 2.5 hour ride. I'm knackered already!

Gym then a ride to make sure that all is well with the bike, minor tweak to the shift peg height then fitted the top box rack. Somewhere in that garage is a bag with the bolt's and lock nuts for that but I can't find it, the spares tin provided workable alternatives.

Then I opened the box... BONUS! In the form of my winter goretex gloves (I was wondering about those) and a tin of Ceramic all weather chain lube that I had completely forgotten about.

Clothes packed into a kriega bag because I have no idea how waterproof this box is and if I go nuts in the gift shop then I have extra storage.



Edit
Found the proper bolts and lock nuts, and one of the heads rounded right out when it got tight, well at least it's tight, lock nut on and stuff it. It's got a date with that new drill and a Cobalt tipped drill bit when I get back form the IOM.
