I didn't get the bike out today, instead gave it a bloody good service!

Oil change
Chain cleaned, lubed, and tensioned up properly
Aligned the wheels
Cleaned up and adjusted the brakes
Spark plug (after swearing at Halfords for not stocking an 18mm long socket :| )
Stripped and cleaned out the carb
Checked the valve clearance but didn't have to alter it as they were still in tolerance

And a damn good clean!

Hopefully if the weather is as nice tomorrow, I might just go for a blat around the west coast of Wales Cool

This still the 125?

What are you plans for a bigger bike?

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

No worries on that score - dont do powered two wheels any more.
Dont jump out of planes much at the moment either (and this is a bitching week end for getting your knees in the breeze - man it'll be warm at 13.5 this w/e!) but we can work on that I'm sure! Thumbs Up!
