    Thanks for such an informed view, how did you gain such knowledge Julian? :D

    On reflection, dogs have 4 legs, I have 2, therefore they ain't getting carried anywhere especially as part of a Ron Ashurst/Chinchilla double date! :p

    Yep has been well hot today. I took the LT for a run and had to stop at my local for a couple of pints to cool me down.

    Nice end to the afternoon..

    Well to quote my mate previously I too was sweating like a fat bird earlier. Took Tallulah for a blast wearing my richa jacket which is waterproof, minus the liner tho. Why did I do such a stupid thing, on a warm day? Coz yesterday I wore my tecnic jacket, again minus the liner, and I got fukkin soaked thru coz it is kinda thin. Lol.
    Got back and decided the chain was too tight so using the toolkit spanner I adjusted it, mmm, have now ordered a c spanner from ebay, recommended by the main man in here so hope it is good. Changed the run of the throttle cable and moved the levers a little, hey a guy has to mess with things in the garage, noticed the tyre hugger is kinda too close to the tyre on one side so did a job on it .
    All in all a good day.
    Oh cleaned up the remnants of the wasps nest in my garage does that count? Lol

    We had to wait for an accident to be cleared on the way up but otherwise it was a good run, agreed with the racing, shame about the stoppages in the last Superbikes, but that's racing, enjoy the GP :p

    I remember coming off Stelvio and turning right on to Umbrail after a bit there was a two mile stretch that was unpaved. Once passed that it was all fun and games all the way to Davos!

    Today I tinted my front headlight and the tint was rolled for a long time which had left creases in it !
    This made it a very stressful couple of hours , not perfect but I’ll have another crack when my hands ain’t cramping up

    Smashed out some Audi style LED indicators on my T595. Relays fit snuggly onto the air intake pipes, and they look sweeter than willy wonkas cock!

    Took a ride up to Leicester to pick up some panniers. Caught in a downpour of biblical proportions at M5 Worcester N junction on the way back. Only in it for about 5 to 10 mins but soaked to the skin :worried::worried: bike may need a clean, or a ride through some clean rain :joy::joy:
    On the plus side the panniers didn't leak :cool::cool:

    Dropped it. In the garage. Took it off the paddock stand, but forgot to put the sidestand out. Keeled over in slow motion... no damage, fortunately... o_O
