That must have been a long journey to stop and take a picture every mile.

Yay!

I bet the bike's happy. I distinctly remembering you promising you would strip it down, powder coat the frame and do the whole clean it with a toothbrush number when it reached that magic number.

Yeah right, I reckon he'll wait another 100k before doing that, good going Hooli, I'm lucky if I do 1000 miles on a bike before changing it these days hehe

Paul Hollywood on his H2. I wonder if he is a decent rider. He has an 1199 too, I wonder if he's a as good on the bike as he is at knocking out a perfectly formed spanakopita.



Maybe it's just the photo but what an unflattering angle for the H2. It looks like 3 different bikes melded into one horrific creation. You can't fault the engineering though.

I had to google him, sadly I don't spend my life watching cooking programmes, ending up starving after all they go on about is how easy it is to knock this up in 30 minutes, only to go to my kitchen and find I don't have watercress salad or a scallop so I make do with beans on toast or mcds.

I've owned it since Oct 2007 and it had 7,452miles show when I first rode it.

Today's task list doesn't include powder coating but I will clean it along with....

Change fork oil
Check n grease steering bearings
Grease levers n throttle tube
Rebuild the callipers
Replace side cover gaskets to cure oil leaks
Oil n filter change
Put it's 3rd set of plugs in
And it's 3rd air filter
Check valve clearances
Adjust chain
Might grease swing arm pivot if I can work out a way to lift it
Fix my oiler as the nozzle keeps moving

Should be enough for one day.
