First Weekend in November!

Bit on the nippy side here, but at least it's not a washout like last weekend!

Hopefully I'll get out both days......depending on work commitments obviously. But I'm clear at the moment!

After last weekend's embarrassment of ZERO Ride Reports (where we ended up looking like a forum of fucking Casuals) somebody has to step up to the plate!

Get a fucking grip you lot!

This afternoon I'll take my bike for a service. It's got 81000km, time for spark plugs, air filter, all fluids plus taking the valve covers off and check valve clearance and overall wear on the camshafts. Being this engine's most known weak spot my dude is going to have a proper look around, I will take pictures and think the bike is falling apart while he tells me everything is ok, that's our routine :classic_laugh:

Will also fit a borrowed center stand while mine goes to be stripped and painted.

If everything is normal, tomorrow I'll pack up and go for a ride, taking some small and pretty roads all the way home, again turning what could be a 2,5 hour commute on a motorway into a day's ride, might make it home instead of sleeping away this time. It's really cold but nice clear skies, hopefully it'll be a nice day's riding without too much weekend traffic or too many bikes out.

No but got no enthusiasm for anything i normally enjoy,  seem to be enjoying working on the bike more than riding them lately

It can be warmer and dryer working on it......instead of riding in a stream or peat bog.😂

Think I will bring the scoot into the spare room.....can do my cleaning and oil and plug change while sat next to a radiator.😂

The weather looks like it will be rainy and cool this weekend, but that's just the way it will be for months now, so no sense in stopping the normal proceedings.

Going out for a ride on the Himi this morning and hopefully the Honda tomorrow or Sunday.

Working on some other fun projects as well, and maybe even whipping up a batch of cookies!
