.... no not really, although a fun bike, like all my machines I go over as much as I can at the start, less chance of surprises later, I now know for example that one exhaust clamp was seized (another ordered), but otherwise all the exhaust bolts undo, the bike will get a once over on most of the parts, might as well give them a bit of a clean whilst I'm there

Can't ride today anyway, knee not up to it, might as well do something useful.

Cheers Mark.
