Think I've managed to fit one uprated headlight bulb in the last 2 or 3 months! :smt009
And that's the problem. Too bloody skint to insure the beast so I'm seeking biking gratification by spending lots of time in the shed (should've seen the size of the bloody spider I found in there last week, fecker could have lifted the bike on its own. Not sure if it was venemous, but it's very very flat now) Got the Ohlins forks to fit new seals to then put on and a RSV swingarm to fill, paint and fit.

By the time I get round to riding the git I doubt there'll be any petrol left in the world.

Sorry Dale, hope things improve soon mate!

Wish we had some of your weather though. It's been pretty crap over here for weeks now. Roads are being regularly salted now, but it seems to rain pretty much every day so the roads are always wet and salted, just what you want. :smt009
Normally love to get out in the winter as long as roads are dry.
Keep up the projects mate, was only jokin as you probably guessed, just that you are showing up most of us over here, well me anyway.
Off for a bit more sun myself in a couple of weeks, down to Andalucia again, sadly without the bike, just a hire car.
