Rode it very slowly to work. It's supposed to stay below 5,000 revs for the first 500 miles but it seems happier at 6,000.

It's not often you have to worry which direction a pheasant is going to run at you.

It was cold last night and cold again this morning. I thought spring was on its way.

Both bikes washed. Just a quick wash for the ST then I went round with a pot of ACF50 and a small paint brush, putting the stuff on all of the bolts and screws. I won't be using the bike this week so the ACF can sink in.

Back on the green meanie for the work run. Shame it's raining as the bike looks like it's not been washed for a month, despite cleaning it yesterday.
