Oh the temptation to wreak havoc.

I got a phone call out the blue yesterday, could I look at fixing some bugs on a web site.

But not just any web site. A personal injury claims management companies web site.......

Ever the professional, I resisted temptation and fixed all that I can with the information they have given me. but one I cannot fix without more info when they are back in the office Monday.

Osram nightbreaker for the Gladius and a software update on the dab stereo in the wifes car. Quite a productive evening so far. Now onto a liquid top up for me!

Fixed an intermittent rear indicator fault on one side of the SV and sorted a loose rear indicator on the other side, then cleaned and reproofed my leathers.

Geo, I've got a 2 piece set of Dainese leathers I bought from a fellow orger, markmoto, back in 2010. Lovely, well made leathers they are too but a few of the crease points around the knees were starting to look a bit scuffed along with the grazes from a low speed spill the year before last.


I use this http://www.nikwax.co.uk/en-gb/produc...-1&fabricid=-1 for cleaning and this http://www.nikwax.co.uk/en-gb/produc...-1&fabricid=-1 for proofing/conditioning but this time I used some of this http://www.nikwax.co.uk/en-gb/produc...-1&fabricid=-1 in black to treat the scuffed and faded areas before using the spray on proofer.


I try and look after my leathers as I can't afford to keep replacing expensive bits of kit. I'd rather spend a little time, effort and money on cleaning/proofing materials and keep what I have in good order.

I tidied up and made space to start using this. Very good investment for the stable

Didn't quite get round to doing what I was supposed to on Friday, so maybe I'll get round to it this weekend instead
