Re: Caught a McLaren on my GSX yesterday
In spring last year I rode to Llyn Tegid at Bala, pulled into the lake car park and there were over a dozen McLarens parked up, must have been an owner's club meet or similar. Quite a sight.

Re: The All New Megathread
Morning Gary. No plans, and that's the way I like it it. Although I'd prefer it if the weather forecast was more promising.
As I'm a sad sort who makes a note of which days I've ridden on and...

Re: The All New Megathread
Beautifully bright and frosty here. A walk over Kerridge ridge beckons, but will wait for it to warm up a little first.
Arsenal vs the Toon tonight, and no fixed plans for Sunday.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Got my insurance renewal quote through from Carole Nash. As a lot of people on the MotoUK subreddit have had ridiculous hikes in their premiums, I was steeling myself for an assault on my credit...

Re: The All New Megathread
That's the problem at this time of year. Despite the fact that the run-off is only about 30 feet across, the bike still gets filthy :rolleyes:

Re: The All New Megathread
It was 15 celsius here (Macclesfield) yesterday! Pity it wasn't dry as it would've been nice to have a bike ride.

Hope the knee's OK, Gary. Drizzly here and I'm seeing my consultant this afternoon, so I'm mostly staying indoors.

Re: What have you tinkered with today?
I've always argued myself out of heated grips / gloves because while I do ride in winter, I don't feel I ride often enough to merit the cost of them ... but if I did have them, I'd probably use them...

Just back from a walk over to Kerridge waterfall, which was very nice. A bite to eat then watching a bit of kicksport on the telly.

Brake fluid musings
I last changed the brake fluid on my 2017 Gen 3 (with ABS) in December 2021. Yesterday I thought I'd check the condition of the fluid out of curiosity. The moisture level was still below 1%, which...

Re: Pain!
Ooof. If it's still bad tomorrow, some ibuprofen with codeine (Nurofen Plus) or Paramol should help. In the meantime, a large nightcap!
