Nearly there............

Well, just about 7 weeks to go before the off.... We have a meeting this weekend to sort out any issues - then it's a weekend "shake-down" run to Exmoor....  

The plan as for as it goes is - leave Southampton on the Friday afternoon and ride down to Folkstone - overnight in a biker-friendly hotel and then have breakfast and a short dash to the Metal Rabbit..

After that - still trying not to plan anything - only the general direction of travel..

Now that the front brakes are sorted out - thanks to a brilliant Honda Mechanic that lives locally, its happy biking again.   I have had the 40,000 service - but it is not running too smooth at present and will be going back to the workshops on Tuesday - not sure if it's fuel, plugs or valves but it is certaily not smooth running....   I still have to change the chain and sprockets this month. Next month will be replace the tyres - there are starting to "square-off" and will have to be changed before the 3,500 trip !!! in May - whoops.   I have a few more miles to do before then.... get on trucking.....
