Aye exactly the same here, do about 10 times the amount of miles in the car aswell. Only bonus is the insurance was only something like £100

Had a mooch out on sunday afternoon through to shields and back along the seafront. Me tackle was well shrivelled by the time I got back, still too cold but enjoyable all the same.
Just had to pay my insurance again after mce's underwriter went bust. Still waiting for the refund from the fsa who sort all their shit out. Usually tax it by dd, something like 8pm, as im a fair weather rider.
As you say nice just to be out on it. Mot mine thur, out for a run friday hopefully. U got heated grips? Godsend when its chilly
Scandalous when you think about it.
Got mine for £96, and a £40 cashback bonus from quidco, also £20 from the insurer so pennys for the year.

I did this yesterday, Wasn’t too cold, had heated grips on.
Should start to see some warmer days from this week I reckon.
Yes, we are certainly blessed up here.
Any of the lads who haven’t checked Allen Millyard out on YouTube well worth a watch. The engineering skills this bloke has are something which is rare and soon to be gone. Unbelievabley talented bloke and some great content on his channel.

Fitted new cam chain tensioners to the VFR today. It had a really bad rattle, and the Facebook groups diagnosed it as that. Sounds fine for the short tests I’ve done, real test will be the commute tomorrow. Also changed the spark plugs while I was there. The old ones were a right mess, I’ve no idea when they were last changed, I probably should have done them earlier

Yes that we me. Finally got some from eBay. Had to get them imported from Japan, £170 for the pair. Locally they were £160 each!
Plugs were the halford specials. Exact same model number as came out, can’t complain at £1 each.

They are iradium plugs, last about 30k. Looks like its running rich mind.

Yea it does. I’m not sure what is going to be causing that. I’ve not noticed any excessive fuel consumption. I’ll give it a few hundred miles and pull one out to see if it’s still looking rich. Seems like one thing after another with this bike, but it is on 55k and is nearly 20 years old.
he's an incredibly clever bloke. seen a few of his videos and enjoyed them. he's sometimes on that shed and buried show with henry cole and sam lovegrove.
