Oh, she looks beautiful once again

Washed and waxed, metal polished, chain and sprockets immaculate with a fresh dose of lube, all that nasty gunk removed from the rear wheel and chain guard. Levers adjusted. Pedals and linkages cleaned and lubed. Tomorrow: tyre check for condition and pressures, brake clean, black plastics restorer. Then meet my pal Allan (hope he brings his Suzuki GS 650 cafe racer) at the Ponderosa for a 4 hour loop of N.Wales' finest.

Glad I cleaned her today, two exhaust hanger bolts had worked loose on the Scotland trip. Lucky not to part company with them on the M6 coming home.
