Look at them shine !

After a good 125 mile blast around the Swindon area on Saturday with Big L, Dean and little L, yesterday was marked as cleaning day in preparation for the Wales trip starting tonight. Rear wheel off, swingarm cleaned, exhaust polished and tank/fairings Mer'd. Then I thought I would have a look at what the gold shiny sprocket nuts I bought last week would look like on a old sprocket and chain assembly. I didn't think they looked bad so I left them on.

Dean, despite not feeling well joned me and decided to strip his bike of fairings, rear cowl, wheel, seat, tank and airbox. After all that there wasn't much time to sort out the nasty chain with the stiff links. Limburn also briefly joined us but didn't stay long although his swingarm did look cleaner than when it arrived. I think I may have to "borrow" his bike and clean it properly for him.

A chilly -5 Deg this morning on the way to work has reminded me I was going to buy some more thermals and some decent textile gear. Shopping next weekend methinks.
