:lol: Sissy! :)

I had a smashing ride to Wraysbury Tyres today. The square back tyre on my 750 was replaced with a round one - handles a treat again. Nice chat and a cup of coffee with top Tyreman Steve, he's an absolute gent.

Sorry you missed it, Paul (if you're reading this), I should have texted you as well as emailed and u2u'd you (and maybe sent a press gang to your home, too :) )

The weather and roads were great (wasn't snow forecast? :puzzled: ).

All's well with the world today :D

(Oops, I forgot. Stopped in a CMW today and sort of accidentally bought a lower fork yoke to replace the slightly bent one on my 999. All's well until the credit card bill arrives, anyway :o :o :o )

Same thing happened to me last week....got the fork seals changed and the internals sort of accidentally came back superbike spec (where's the "potless" smilie code when you need it?)

I'd been good up until that point and resisted several temptations.
There's no point in being good, folks, cos when you do splurge, you do it big-style.

I'm talking spares and accessories, folks ... focus!

first ride in a looooong time for me today, - tyres felt wooden and so did I, takes a while to get the weight right for counter-steering, notice it on the slow messy roundabouts. Came back smiling though, - still am :D
