I was on the bike.
Just fitted some new EBC brake discs, and wanted to try them.
Much better thean the warped OE discs.
Still they had done 36K miles, so they were getting ready.

i did take the bike to work - and i went the long way....
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Great day for a ride today as well.
Took the Falco out for the frst time for a few weeks, it had been sat there in the garage with a brand new front tyre, waiting for a decent run on dry roads to scrub it in and managed it today.
Was pretty cold at about 3.5C when I went out and the sun was very bright and low, but it felt really good to be out on it again. Been using the old Honda over last few weeks, don't realise how much I miss the Falco until I get back on it.

Yeh it's really a bitch, but I'm off somewhere a bit warmer in the morning as well.
Off the Andalucia for a couple of weeks, so catch you all when I get back.
