Default Back on the bike at last

I've finally got the Daytona fixed up - it's only taken me since December , mainly cos I've been so busy at work, then went on hols. Somewhere in my untidy hellhole of a garage is a right hand infill panel so the bike's missing that at the moment, I hope I didn't put it out with the recycling cos they cost £47!!! And I have 2 small screws left over that I can't find a home for.

Oh the joy of climbing on board again after 2 and a half months, it had just stopped a light rain shower so the roads were wet and greasy but I didn't care, took it nice 'n' easy and got familiar with the beast again. And oh what a beast this is There's a slight vibe at 6K that I didn't notice before, no idea what that is but I'll track it down.

John, Daryl and Karl - big thanks for your help

So glad to be back in business

Just in time for the good weather then. Goes without saying, but "try to keep the rubber side down".

Nice one Ed, glad you're back, hope to be joining you soon (well perhaps not soon, but eventually ).

Cheers Mark.

That'll be those two left over screws you mentioned!
