Spanked the ZX6R into work.

Switching between bikes really highlights what you take for granted. The wind protection on the 6r is crap compared to the SX.

Went to JHP on the Multi to pick up my replacement topbox bag.

Think it might be time to clean the bike and put it away for a couple of months now.

Picked up the blade yesterday after its trip to Spain , give it the once over this morning and gave it a clean etc etc, everything looks spot on (y)
Then got the 999 out and gave her a clean as well , TBH she wasn't that dirty but I couldn't resist (giggle) , she looks lovely with the new shney chain on, just waiting for the fog to clear then gonna pop down to Fowlers for a coffee and bacon sarnie (y)

How much does this cost? Is this a standard can or aftermarket?

Nice one Rossgo. One common denominator regardless of weather, conditions or pace. Biking will always put a smile on your face (lol)

Went out for a little bimble, then remembered I had some rear sets I bought 2nd hand, fitted them this afternoon, which also turns it into race shift. Gave them a clean and they came up like new.

Misty here in Manchester.

Just got up to the airport and loads of flights cancelled I assume due to fog. Unfortunately my flight to sunny Aberdeen hasn't been effected (swear)

exhaust can is a race scorpion. repacked with Acoustafil, works really well.
this (for example) will do two cans. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ACOUSTAFIL-PT ... b9zaTj0r1w" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
