It's the weekend blah blah blah ......
Discussion
Gym sat morning, mates birthday sat night, sunday trying to get a couple of hose guide bolts out that have stuck in the swing arm as I was a berk and didn't copper slip them when I took the hugger off to repair it and Monday I'm going out for a meal with friends and then going to see Captain America civil war
Bike is filthy from the 3 seasons (can't possibly be 4 as its been too bloody cold) commuting this week - assuming there is a dry day and I have time it will be getting a clean.
Since getting the fully portable jet wash I've cleaned the bike every week - so thats 4 weeks and counting, totally sorted for living in a flat with no power or running water nearby. Thats more bike cleaning than I've done in a very long time, verging on OCD for me.
My old blackbird would get two cleans a year at most, I owned the thing for almost 8 years lol
Other than that its my birthday long weekend so family are visiting one of the days for eating and drinking type of celebrations.

Well that's set the bar.
Herts air ambulance charity ride on Sunday, I don't really like group rides but It's a good cause and an excuse to get out for bit.

Ideally riding one a day, failing that servicing the GSXR400.
Must remember, the funnel under the sump doesn't work when the sump bolt falls in and blocks it, and just because the oil will go in slowly through the funnel the same funnel can not be relied on to handle the flow of oil coming out.

Likely having a quick blat out to see the lycra brigade on the Tour De T'Yorkshire thanose lunchtime (if it's not raining icicles), then aim to have another blat Sunday morning and possibly Monday depending on weather. Need to get a new C&S kit too and pop some fresh oil & a filter into the GIXXAAAAAAAA!
In between there'll be any motorsport on TV I can possibly fit in.
Just off to Google dirty growlers......

I'm taking the newly acquired red Italian breakdown machine to France and Belgium for my girlfriend's first foreign bike trip. We'll keep it fairly simple and short to (hopefully) get her interested and keen for a longer trip in the summer!
Off to Bruges (in da car) so if I see a broken down UK registered Multistrada I'll keep on going. TimmyWimmyWoo said:

If it's any consolation I'm nearly 3years and 14,000 miles into my multi ownership and although I'm on first names terms with the guys in the warranty repair department it's always got me home. But saying that I still wouldn't venture out with full European recovery
BOT - If it's dry I'm going to venture out on Monday. My plan is to head down to Hastings and tread the boards on the newly opened pier.
