Just come back from burning 3 tanks of petty on the storm! Got soaked and the bike is covered in shite but had some dry spells and managed to get some heat into the tyres

I think the storm now handles better than my Zx9r did

Sad poor dirty sl@g of a bike:

Seb I think the link pipes are pretty happy with the steeper angle on the cans, no leaks or stress

I wanna go back out and play!! But I'm going out for dinner yawwwwn

Scrubbed them tyres in well . But my god it needs cleaned !!
I don't mind getting mine dirty when it's a good ride :-)

I haven't done anything on it cos it's in bits.
I haven't done anything to it cos it's too blooming cold in the garage.
But I did unwrap these bits supplied by David Silver.
Three exhaust pipe gaskets
Three pipe clips
three bolts for the clips
Two exhaust pipe to head washers ( copper)
Two front exhaust pipe to head nuts
and then wondered how the hell I spent about £110 on that lot.

Although I know deep down that real stuff costs real money and cheap stuff is generally more expensive.

Received a parcel today.... It was from Germany ....... What could it be...... Some very sexy carbon engine covers from carbonadi

Now who knows the best way to drill the holes in the left hand one? as these have not been cut.

Gave my calipers a good clean, pushed the pistons out and gave them a good scrub. Bought some red rubber grease for the pistons, do it properly.....£18 quid for the tub, I nearly fell over !!
Replaced a blown bulb in the clocks. Expected them to say 20 pence.....quid !! Think I'm getting tight in my old age

how your training going ?

lol no mate not been able to go for a good while, tore ligament from elbow to tricep that took ages to heal, had to try and just use one arm at work, which then lead to a tear in a forearm muscle

after the Christmas break these healed,

over the last few week my backs been giving me pain as i was working with a guy with a bad back who couldn't share the picking and loading, so i was just picking for months on end which means grabbing some sh1t off a belt and then twisting right and putting on one of two trailers, then on Thursday night something happening inside my lower back i couldn't walk it was horrible been in so much pain since then

hopefully ill be fixed soon and can get back boxing at somepont as i put the pounds back on with my sweet tooth
