Froze my nuts off riding into work. Stupid me removed the lining from my jacket last week as I've been too warm during the commute.

Jet washed and cleaned the Multi thoroughly after getting caught in the rain last week on the way back from Silverstone. Lovely washing the bike in the glorious sunshine yesterday.

Started the strip down and sold the shock, rear fairing and cowl to a chap called Luke that's hopefully going to show up on here.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Rode 465 miles over the weekend. Been in Skeggy for the weekend with my dad. Have had a fabulous time. We went to the last MCN Live at Skeggy. We once again rode around Cadwell Park which is a great track just a shame it wasn't very quick because it was for a parade lap but it was lead by, John someone or another 3 time BSB champion, Chris Walker and John Mcguiness. Absolutely superb

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Oh and on the way home (190 mile trip) I used the sat nav to plan a winding trip...it was so annoying we headed down some amazing roads then the sat nav would say please turn off here, which from the off set looked like shite roads...until like half a mile later they all opened up and a really turned out to be better roads than what we were riding before. I had my go pro but I didn't stop to turn it on we literally were having g that much fun!! I won't lie some of these were unmarked roads but they were like brand spanking new probably because know one knew they were there and they were so shit to begin with...but to you guys who live near Lincolnshire/ Northamptonshire and where ever else we rode you guys are spoilt for choice. Still smiling now from it!!

Sounds ace Rossgo. You'll have to see if you can find any of the roads on a map and I'll take a look over that way.

Listened to a rather annoying buzzing sound coming from the front of the bike. Sounds like a screw or bolt has come loose.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I literally haven't an idea...anyone seen the Peugeot advert where he programs the sat nav to go to Glasgow or somewhere and the signs where saying to go one way but sat nav said to go another...well that was literally what happened with us. We saw signs and sat nav said no but it lead us to some cracking roads.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
waded through a bunch of hi viz wankers cluttering up two lanes of the M42 this morning.
I can see you, see you drifting around in a gaggle between two lanes.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Rode it in to work to test the new tyres out, glad I did as on of the front brakes is binding. Full clean is in order so long as I can find a bit of dry weather.
I'd forgotten how nice new tyres felt, the bike feels so light and quick to turn. I'd also forgotten quite how quickly you can start to abuse m7's, I swear I only had 10 miles on them before starting to crack the throttle open

Done some serious talking/thinking about where we would like to be in 10 years time.
The UK is currently very low on the list but unfortunately that is where we are now.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Rode it up to JHP. The bike feels so much better to me with the Angel GT's on than the PR4 Michelins. Totally fallen for the bike again as its so easy to chuck about now.
That said i did try and swap it for a 1199 Tricolore Panigale whilst i was there.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Backed the rebound and compression off a turn on the front today and oddly the rear feels so much better.
Definitely getting quicker and getting a lot more feed back from the bike, especially in the slower corners.
I arrived at the bottom of Itchy's Leap at about 120, at least 30mph quicker than last time. Fortunately this time had the good sense to slam them on.
This bike just gets better and better.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Rode into town today to go get my partners ring sorted as one of the stones fell out! I took my big chain with me which weighs a flipping ton!! I could literally feel feel my forks and rear shock working overtime with the extra weight and I almost under shot a bend and carried straight on!! Other than that it was nice to get out haha!!
