It's just good to be out.

It was nice later here. But I played footy with the lad and dog at the park. Dog won.
I am an unbelievably tight cunt so will probably Tax it in May now. I hate paying tax to our ****wit gov, it feels like lending a drugy cash. Noone but a dealer wins.

however it's about £88 for a year or £48 for 12m so maybe I should pull the trigger and batter some Golf Rs for shits n giggles
I don't really get a lot of time for leisure rides in fairness, mine is a workhorse.. just a pretty one

Need to spray the gunk on first I spose

I don't untax it - just in case there's nice days to be out. For what a years tax costs it's barely with the aggro to mess around with the DD. I didn't go far, only about 50 miles and out for an hour and a bit but just nice to be out and about on two wheels not four. Mine was originally to commute on during the summer months but that mileage has all but dried up, need to use it or there's no point having it.

No kids, no dog. Cat amuses itself.

Booked in for a session with Harris Performance in Hertford to get the suspension setup properly. I don't think it has ever been done and if it's not sorted out I'm going to sell this and buy something with some compliance in the front ends before my wrists are worn away.

For £60 it's worth trying.

Looks like writing on the wall for the Big Z.

Been for a look, had a listen and a sit ... chuck a set of Zard cans on it and a filter kit. It's only just shy of 50bhp but you can laugh away to yourself wringing its neck all day long. No fear of death or arrest. Bike height fits out of the box.


I should imagine an Interceptor 650 will be in the garage early next year.

Naked bikes keep you sane

Just insured the XSR for £80 though it has barely turned a wheel in 12 months. Now gotta service it and it's plugs this time. Balls.

Still, more fun than serving her nissan in Aug to Oct I have to sort Shitsan, S2, SC S2 and XSRe was July and free (I imagine they looked at it and stamped the book)

The CRF is off the road for now, which is where it belongs ha
I wanna rewire it with higher quality plugs and stuff at some point

XSR passed MOT no issues
sub 400 miles. It's currently on the road as I expect a commute but I may sorn if that doesn't happen by Oct

along with a car
I did a few miles this year in the e (probably equates to 8k a year ish at the mo)400 in the standard S2 - kid you not this included a 100 mile round trip)350 on the xs0 on the CRF (SORN)1500 ish in the SC S2 (guess)

Might rationalise/downsize

Oil, filter, plugs and air filter done on the Yam
plugs were a pain in the arse, tank is all panels and access is still shyte. But with extensions


they were a bit manky. Signs of water getting round this one
