Still on the zx6r. Rode it in the mist. I need to get this one covered in ACF50 as well before the salt comes.

Left work early while it was still light. The fog was very thick and my bike doesn't have ILS and the pilot isn't training for flying in fog at night, so better to be safe than sorry.

M6 was shut around Coventry this morning, so I had to go the long way which takes me through a load of road works

Im so glad I don't have to do the 'commute' every morning. start work about 7.30 so the roads are still quiet when I leave for work and im only about 3 miles from the office.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I drive 25miles to work each way when I'm in the office - 20 miles of which is Motorway so it only takes me about 25minutes.
Yesterday I was working in Portsmouth - left the house at 0600 and I got to the site at 0840. I did the job and was at the gym before 1400.

True, they should have let people drive past it. It's health and safety madness

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Fitted my tankpad to the zxc6r this morning in the rain. I'm worried that the clip on my rucksack is marking the tank so decided to do it there and then before weaving my way through the traffic to get to work.
Yet another crash on the M6.

Managed to get a black box swing arm for the 999, comes with all the bits as well !!.
Just need to get some chain adjusters for it.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
It's not gong to happen for a while as the bike won't be see much use now as winter is on the way, the multi will be used only now. I'm going to get the swingarm stripped and re powder coated in gloss black, I can get some adjusters in gloss black to match.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Makes sense and good idea to get the chain Adjusters now imo if there available.
I have wanted chain adjusters for about 6 years now for the sp2 and there like rocking horse sh1t. If there still available I would get them before they become discontinued which I imagine they will soon as bike is similar vintage to my sp2.

Fitted the optimate last night as it nearly never started at work yesterday evening. A bit weird as I'm using it every day. Although last week I was in Londion
