Just to cheer you up lads I can take a set of wheels out and replace them within 10 minutes.
Me too, well 12 minutes as my headstock stand costs me 3 minutes as I have to remove the mudguard as the there isn't enough clearance to get the front wheel out, tonight I have fitted a pair fork seals and a radial master cylinder in under an hour, and reset the sag and suspension, plus been for a test ride, no pictures though as I couldn't be arsed.Jazoli said:

I think I need to invest in a headstock stand, I cant get the axle out while using the one I have.

What year blades do you both have? It won't help but mine is pretty comfortable, easily as comfortable as my old 5VY. It's a 2007 and I'm 6'2".
Mine is a 2012 and I think Scotts is a 2009Went to my local Ducati / KTM / Kawasaki dealer this morning, all of the bikes along the main walkways through showroom had tyre shine on them. I thought "these tyres look a little glossy", so I rubbed them and it was all over my hands. You could have written your name in it, it was applied that thickly. I wonder if they can clean it off before you ride it away?
Hey bro, we heard you like shiny tyres so we put some Tyre Wall Black on for you.

I bet that's b
d fast but feck me, it's bloody ugly.ETA, they're doing well to make it look worse than the standard bike!
Went a run on the street today, a bit stiff after yesterday at Knockhill. Think that's the end of there for me, at least for a while. It's not a patch on down south.
Anyway saw this. It looked pretty cool. But I wouldn't want to be in it on a hot day. I say cool. It was different
Then I met my hero. Hizzy
I'm having a fag at a local Biker hot spot. This guy is going on about Knockhill to a crowd.
"I did six days there last year and on my first I went out with a bib and after the first session I was told to take it off. He said you've been going to quick to be wearing that. 156 mph Into Duffus on a 636 (ok I've read the dash speed and quoted mines so fair enough)hard on the brakes off the throttle tip in (I must be wrong I'm trail. Braking in and then throttle straight away) bash it through the chicane left right. 100 mph (f
k I'm lucky if, actually no wait I have no idea of my speed I'm too afraid to look at my dash) Smash it round the hairpin chuck it in and pass someone knee down. (well it is much better now they smoothed it out but I've never went round someone up them yes)
passing racers etc shouting to the car park. f
k it. I'm Going in. I questioned a few of the stuff. Oh but eh but. We all exaggerate from time to time. Think we are nailing it when infact were s
t (bar mckeann but that used to race cars so he's a cheat) but this guy was a huge gabste. He mentioned about getting a b king round in under 60 seconds. Id struggle to get the daytona at that time. Sadly I decided to ride my bike rather than talk about them so I never listened any more So I went a run. Lovely and warm. Oh God how I love the heat. Perks me right up. Done my usual run but invented a new game.
Overtake a group of riders. Ones that don't look like there on a Das lesson but ones that aren't too quick.
Pull in at the next point. Let them go past. Have a pee, smoke a fag as quick as you can (pre rolled) and send a few texts.
Jump on the bike and hunt them down.
Rules
30 and 40 zones are no speeding zones. Everywhere else as quick as you can.
If you crash and die you loose
If you get knicked you loose
If they turn off the main route and you spend the next 50 miles chasing nothing the match is abandoned
If you find them you win. They should be a good few miles up ahead giving you plenty of work to do.
Was quite fun, I won. Gave me something to do.
After this. I was tired so I took some photos and had another fag. I tried to get a close up of a sheep. But it kept running away. When the mummy started charging at me I ran away and nearly tripped over the fence in the hurry.
Love my street. Well. It's like living with Ms. Good days and bad days. Today was amazing no wind and sun. When you go out and it's chili and windy it's Hellish. No where to hide. I'll not be selling it though. Till the next timeout when it's freezing and windy.
