Picked her up from Leicester and enjoyed the late afternoon sun coming back to London without using a motorway. Bliss.....

Found out what was wrong with the MTS. The hard coating on the inside of the front cylinder had worn through. My bike butcher has the bike now and he's a little shocked at the cost of the parts he needs to buy. 31k miles and the bloody thing was worn out.

Been putting some miles on the Storm. It felt a bit strange after spending time on the R6 and it took me a few miles to stop being a bit bobbly.

I thought it would be fun, it's got some aftermarket suspension and it rides bloody well because of it, the tyres are the only bad part of the bike. Hence when I stick some sweet, sweet M7RR's on it I'm hopefully going to get there :)
