Been doing the bank account some damage today, pair of tyres, full set of brake pads, oil and filters for both the Tiger and the Blackbird.  Don't need plugs as they were done recently.  Still need brake fluid and Tiger fork oil.....

Just got to wrack my brains and remember what I used the last time; book says Kabaya G10 but have a feeling I used Motul 15 :icon_rolleyes:

I always seem to end up with a half full bottle of the stuff I last used. Then it's just a case of remebering where I left it. :ImaPoser :icon_redface: :icon_scratch:

None of my beer bottles have anything left in them one minute after openning. It's either in me or in a glass.

Well... the Tiger end-to-end service is done:  new tyres, brakes, oil, filters, fork oil, map refresh, TB balance, old exhaust fitted, one coil replaced and a bloody good clean.

Just waiting for the rain to stop so I can take it for a test ride (while the wife's at work so she doesn't see) then onto SORN at the end of the month.

You are an inspiration to us all! How many would lavish that much tlc on their steeds only to put them to bed....??

I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint
