Rest of the bikes not been washed since it broke down at the Clans that'll teach it a lesson :cool:

Hopefully Steptoes posted the exhaust so I can fit that before I leave :D
 
Bought a tarp 3 months ago.

Found my Scotland map last week,it was still in tankbag pocket from last year :blast

Got Louise to get me a new camping light yesterday.

Bought some ;)

Spent half of this morning trying to get rear seat off 'cos lock bust.

Got bored so mowed the lawn.

Came back sorted it.:)

Bike is now currently sitting up in the air on a lift with no screen , no headlight in, no tank, seats, horn, part of the engine bars missing and NO front shock.

The headlight is out because its the easiest way to replace the sidelight since HID was fitted. The seats, tank, horn, engine bars and shock are missing because I have a nice shiny Wilbers to put in later :p. Also fit a ram mount on the handlebars for mini cam

Watched the WSB and now just about to do my duty as a son and take my mum (76 and doesn't drive) to the supermarket for some shopping.

Back home later, watch WSB race 2 put the bike back together and then sort out a playlist on itunes for the long slog up the M6 on Thursday night. Then clear down memory cards on cameras x 2 and GoPro video cam. Sorted.

Rear tyre is well worn. Thought about dropping in to Steves but I've decided to just shag it out and replace it when I get back.

Thursday morning before work i'll chuck all my camping gear in the drybag and all my clothes and other kit in the panniers. Ride to work, come home at lunchtime to pick up the stuff I forgot in my haste:blast. Back to work for a few hours and then we are OFF:bounce1:bounce1:bounce1
 
Leaving tomorrow and pondering on the idea of washing the bike :augie Not been washed for a while :rolleyes:

Also trying to decide where to pack the snow chains ;)
