I got a good ride-out in this morning on the Storm. Not that warm as very little sunshine about, just a cold breeze which wasn’t helping.
I was back home just before 10am, 5 minutes later it started raining, how lucky was that :thumbup:

Took the Biffa for a spin to Hastings today to familiarise myself with it before Devon. I must say I quite like it and prefer it much more than the Multistrada.
My arms ache a bit as I haven’t ridden much in the last 2 years due to a frozen shoulder, pain killers will help for the long ride hopefully

Blast out on The Murvinator, Drop off some parcels, then on to get some shopping, back home via 3 petrol station looking 4 some Dot4...

You'd think that if they have room for 10 different brands of oil they could squeeze in a few bottles of brake fluid, but no 3 of them to busy selling groceries...FFS.

Stopped at the old school filling station near me & bingo Dot4 in stock.

Spent the rest of the day out side, gave The Murvinator a rub down with WD-40, The good stuff out of a 5ltr can, better than the spray cans. Cleaned, lube'd & adjusted the chain.

Spent the rest of the day stripping bits off the scrap engine, starter motor, front head, sprag clutch & the sump. Gave up at that point, want to get the oil pump off but have to take the 'kin clutch off to get at one of the bolts... It can wait.
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
