ooooh that sounds nice. Is it like being in the med?
Never thought about a waterbed.
It is, warm like a 200 gallon hot water-bottle you sleep on top of in winter, and cool in summer (the temp is adjustable)....

I'll be spraying the fairing and seat unit of my new R1 track bike, and the new fairings of my mates K6 that he totaled at Almeria in December.

ive just got back from the first ride in leathers this year, so much nicer than textiles.
got all the bits i need so if it stays dry it looks like im fitting MORE springs to the akro on 14, buggers seem to snap at 7 years old. then cleaning the filter in the tank & filling the snotoiler.
after that its time to take the head off stroppy to redo the pushrod tubes (without leaks this time). rewire her to accept points as fit those as a replacement for the boyer brokensden as i want her to be more reliable.

hope it stays dry.

Boo........

No biking for me for a while. Just watched Mrs ride off on her bike on her IAM lesson whilst I am sitting here watching Jeff and the boys with my leg up after another operation on knee yesterday. Bloody painful and swollen! Not fair!

Went out for a ride this morning (bike now filthy, will clean it after lunch) and popped into my local Ducati dealer again.

I've arranged with them that I will test ride the 848 in a couple of months time and if I like it, to agree a deal/order the bike in April with a view to taking delivery in June.

Not sure if it was a good or bad idea! biggrin

I think it's a great idea! I love the look of the 848.
Now you just need to choose a colour smile
