100 mile round trip to MoT the CBR6 in jacket and jeans - dry but most chilly!

They're a rare enough breed spotted singly!

Was hoping to go for a ride but fingers crossed tomorrow, at least the weather made me spend a bit of time fettling. Fitted a new tank pad ( seriously, when I bought this I saw someone ask for a mechanic to fit theirs) That complicated task completed, I gave the wheels a clean(I loathe white wheels, black is much smarter and easier to clean...) , cleaned the rest of the bike and then decided to fit my new exhaust hanger, after whipping off the body work in a few mins, I then become unstuck, the nuts and allen bolts that hold the pillion foot pegs on are seized solid, I was using enough leverage to lift the bike off the ground and they still wasnt budging, someone has had a go at them before and rounded one nut which hasnt helped matters on one fastener... Really awkward to get at these so it may well be a wheel out job and for someone with more expertise & tools than I over the Winter. Still after a chain guard if anyone has one loitering around..

Trip to Norfolk, done, very localised heavy showers on the way down and up, but it was still nice to be out on the bike. Did enjoy showing a skyline they weren't the fastest thing on the road that afternoon

Did enjoy showing a skyline they weren't the fastest thing on the road that afternoon I would have done a trip to Norfolk. And the last weekend, and the one before that. But no, this weather is really screwing up my riding schedule

Weird weekend so far.
Last night spent in Stoke, somehow ended up in a Gay bar, which wouldn't have been so bad if they weren't throwing a foam party and everyone was dancing around like Graham Norton on Acid. I was also propositioned, and not in a nice way. He asked me who the daddy was. Well, I wasn't quite prepared to be his daddy for the night, so left swiftly afterwards (after watching some girls kissing).
Then drive back to the SW for my brother's engagement party. (I'm pretty sure he did this on purpose) he invited x2 of my old flames. I had my wife and boy with me, both break ups were massively messy, so was very interesting to see them now and if the mentallism still existed.
Anyway, cool story bro etc.... I'm pissed, need a kebab and then bedski.

A mere 45 miles round trip to York, to pick up a freebie replacement helmet mechanism (Thanks guys at Infinity), but bloody freezing. Wife on the back, NOT impressed at my "bright idea". Ho hum.

1 month after my off the bike is ready for the road. All i need is bar ends but i can cope without for the time being. The tail unit is a bit tatty but it was only £20 so i may wrap it in vinyl. Not so sure i want to jump back on it now though. Tad nervous. Glad its done now. Subframe changed Rear tail unit changed Left handlebar to change but purchases Left hand fairing changed Left hand driver hanger changed Indicators rear changed Mirrors changed I think thats it

Gorgeous day up here again, as was yesterday, I got my top fairing and radiator end caps and the radiator painted so the bike plastics are as new again (which is nice)
I also went to the zoo, which was also nice, not ridden the bike this weekend, I may go out tomorrow.
