Looking to unsorn Izzy at month end, so I suppose she'll need a polish somewhat. I do run the bikes occasionally through winter, so starting then shouldn't be a problem anyway. Two weeks today then. Weather permitting of course....
In the meantime 3 x GT550s are running, although naughty Anna needs a fettle. :roll:

Got FAB out of hibernation last week and after a serious amount of cleaning, ally polishing, fettling, and oil changing, she was ready to go again.
Not been started since December (has been turned over though :ugeek: ) but, kickstart only from cold and she started on the 3rd kick (love those iridium spark plugs).
No salt on the roads and dry for a change, so off down the east coast for a ride to Mablethorpe. Ran like a dream and reminded me why I still own FAB after 37 years and 162,000 miles. :D
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Hopefully the weather will start to be kind(er) now Steve, so we can all start to get out somewhat.

Weather forecast for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire predicts we're back to winter (again :x ) this w'end, so perhaps we'll have to wait a bit longer, maybe after the clocks go forward 8-)
