Default I surpassed even myself (servcing etc)

Mods, wasn't sure where to put this, so

Well, I got the SV ready (read: moved it in to place, sheet under it so I could lay down etc), tools ready, and started the service.

Then my mate called round for his bike, picking it up after his holidays. "Wanna come out for a play?" To even my shock, I resisted & kept working on the bike. And it was sunny!

Later on, he came back, saying he'd borrow my tools, and had brought beers. I didn't think it was a great idea completing a beer induced major service, but I quickly came around to his way of thinking. So we serviced both bikes (him doing a minor service) & drank beer.

I did everything on the service except for valve check & throttle body sync. I'm impressed with myself

I never got around to washing the bike though, and now I can't go for a ride, because I've been drinking (didn't think about that before)

P.S. Hovis, yes, I did remove them!

Bloody well done I dont think I could service my bike myself sober whilst hooked up to a caffeine solution drip. I can, however, fit a Givi monorack thing alone, and I did get enough panels off to check my rad fluid level.

I'm sure I'll learn more as I go along and have to rely less and less on my dad...

Why did you take any panels off for the coolant level Matt?

Can check the bottle with them all in place.

So no breaking down for you on next months rideout Baph?
