Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Took it for an MOT last week. The first since I have owned it. Passed with flying colours. Not advisories. Mind you I have been through the bike with a fine toothed comb.

Re: Nec show

I am. I went last year and really enjoyed it. The best bet was signing up for a ride on a bike. Basically 60 bikes 60 people first come etc. They will supply you with all of the gear, helmets, jacket, boots and helmet.
