I was only looking at the 800cc bikes.

They've got 2 brutale's in at gem speed shop, a 15 800 and a 10 1090RR... Quite a good selection of bike's. Even a couple of S1000RR if you want a Germanic missile..

Too many models in the range I think.

MV is now backed by Russian money.

Best avoid the Novichok upgrades.

I would use dettol wipes on any spares or on the bar grips when handed back from servicing

I suspect you do that as standard anyway

Got a new tyre for the Versys. Saw my old mate at Honda. Took an ATAS DTC out. Bumped into my brother.

Pulled it out and pulled the back wheel off to have a look at the squeaky rear brake, can't see anything out of place so I gave the pads a scrub on some emery paper to de-glaze them, a very light greasing where they slide in the caliper, cleaned/greased the pistons with red rubber grease and put it all back together.
As the exhaust had to come off I finally fitted the GPR can, with both baffles removed and cleaned the chain.

It was intended for the 1190/1290 Adventure but fits my GT and has a nice deep tone, but a ride will have to wait because it's raining again.

She scrubs up well for 20,000 miles

Looks new that Versys, I might have to get some of that ceramic coating

It's excellent stuff. You really don't need much. A small bottle lasts ages. I've still got mine.

Pulled out of work and turned right to join the traffic out of the business park. The road opens from 1 lane to 2. I'm in lane 2. Me and the car in lane 1 stopped to allow a car from our left to turn left and join the traffic. Just as she pulls out a twat in an M4 overtakes me and dives into the gap I've left for the woman. How there wasn't a crash I'll never know. He gained one place in the queue and almost smashed into someone.

I gave him the Gareth Hunt coffee sign

Did I mention he's a twat?

Trying to get the RSV4 booked in to be vinyl wrapped, not keen on the white colour they get made in. Going for silky/matt black the same as our works transit.

If you wait a week, then you will be able to buy that one.
