Saturday Oil & filter change on bike, then refit fairings and have a short test ride if still dry. Watch F1 qualifying then GP2 race, WSBK super pole, drink beer.

Sunday. Ride out with local HOC. Then watch WSBK, F1, GP2 and drink more beer.

Raining here too Geodude.

So.......fitted the Curvy forks that I bought from SVMonkey yesterday and put the fairings back on this morning. I'm now intending to strip the original forks, get the sliders powder-coated (black) and fit new springs and the emulators.
Fired up the Ducati just to let her warm up and then generally tinkered, polished, squirted WD40 and covered the bikes up again.

Planning a trip up to Scotland soon, probably trailer the Ducati up to somewhere central like Pitlochry and then have a few days scratching around the quiet Scottish highways and byways and maybe some fly-fishing too. If it ever stops raining!

Clanger that pic looks so relaxing Yeah i tinkered about in the garage for a bit but got fedup so had a quick soaking on the road not that much fun but what i will say is cage drivers need to understand that im adjusting my riding to suit the conditions and not to jam their cages up my rrrz.

Bit drier down on the south coast. I rode to my mates house yesterday and got a bit wet, but had some waterproofs on. I actually enjoyed it in a sadistic kind of way. Normally I hate getting wet, but strangely if I'm psyched up for it and I expect it, I actually enjoy being out in it. It's that suppressed Ray Mears part of my brain that wants to be in touch with nature or something.

... now to kill and skin and a dear and sleep naked by a campfire.

Especially at night. Catches the glare of head lights and you can see noooooothing. Just go straight on and hope for the best.
