I'm going to fit a new front disc as mine is buckled by about 6mm meaning I have virtually no brakes at the moment eek

I'm also going to try and buy a new lid. Typically though, the one I want is discontinued rolleyes so may have to compromise and get something else.

I'm sure I won't be able to walk out of the shop with only a lid though so should be a good weekend cool

This weekend I shall be cleaning, changing the oil on, cleaning air filter of and then hammering the bks off of my bike. In that order.

And if the Mrs picks up the theory and hazard perception CD-ROM today I'll be practicing a few of them'n'all.

This weekend I will mainly be wanting sunshine to ensure warm tyres and good corner speed smile And of Course MOTO GP, I am hoping Toesland will do well.

Washed it already this week, booked in next week for new 014's so want to get the most of the tyres this weekend. They are square but with loads of side rubber left, need to use it! smile

Spent an hour today getting a new rear tyre fitted (after spending an hour on the hard shoulder of the M40 last night thanks to a couple of nails), came home and removed the framework for my panniers & top box as I rarely use them, and have ordered a tank bag instead.

Also need a new rear hugger as a result of the puncture (or rather the nail!).

Might have to spend a few hours tomorrow running the tyre in biggrin

I'll be taking the Duke out for a spin, I think. Both Saturday and Sunday.

Might have to plan to take the VFR out next weekend, as I swear it's giving me funny looks when I open the garage door.
