nothing this weekend because I was Skiing...............3 great days and one average day, I dont recommend skiing in low visibility with a hangover :lol:

but we had 2 days of blue sky and sun and some great slopes above 1700m and north facing, the lower south facing slopes are heading to slush because of the heat.

and now I have to try and catch up with everything that has been happening on here.

Today I rode to work (as the forecast looks sh1te for the next few days). Cleaned the grime off the rear wheel coz even black wheels look crap when theyre dirty. Then rode home. Taking a variety of exhaust cans to work in the car tomorrow ready to sort/fit some sort of system on Sunday.
Probably going back to two into two, but not sure. I dont like the thought of all that extra weight :(

Cheers lads, got most of shopping list now, chain and sprockets to get, maybe change R1 R/R for Mosfet one and may do my own headlight relay. Fairing lowers to paint then start putting her back together :D . Mrs Watty pulling round nicely so bit more time on my hands :thumbup: . Can't wait to get back out on her ( the Storm that is ) :crazy:

Stripped the front forks. New seals, oil and springs (thanks Budd). Followed the guide on here and did the mods to the damper rod etc. Rubbed the forks down and gave them a few coats of brilliant silver. Lacquer tomorrow.

Just the carbs to set up and balance next and its ready for an not :-)
