Unfortunately my "meeting" was strangly cancelled yesterday :smt002 However had I already gone home it seemed rude not to go out on the bike for 3 hours :smt004 Got to get your work life balance sorted. Anyway saved resources by not doing a stress relief course. :smt003

OK so not the most inspiring of rides, from one part of London to another, but I've not been on the bike for a while and I'd forgotten how much fun there is to be had with the loud handle.

Poxy GSXR stand goes down a bit too early, so I'll need to make some adjustment. HID headlight works a treat for getting cages out of the way.


Is that the same one I used to see you on in Wandsworth? :smt001
Prolly not I was onthe Falco today. The old nail I used to commute on when I saw you was the GSX 1100 EFE Suzuki.
Thats what I meant, The comment

made me think it was what you were on.

Made of chocolate is it :smt003

I take it when you say the stand drops down you need to put new springs on. I've got quite a few sidestand springs here in stainless steel, bought a job lot at a car boot sale for a fiver :smt003

I put a stop on the stand to keep it from resting on the exhaust when it is up, but it must be pushin it too far down. Just need to file it down a bit.
