I didn't get the bike out today, instead gave it a bloody good service!

Oil change
Chain cleaned, lubed, and tensioned up properly
Aligned the wheels
Cleaned up and adjusted the brakes
Spark plug (after swearing at Halfords for not stocking an 18mm long socket :| )
Stripped and cleaned out the carb
Checked the valve clearance but didn't have to alter it as they were still in tolerance :)
And a damn good clean!

Hopefully if the weather is as nice tomorrow, I might just go for a blat around the west coast of Wales  8-)

The dogs and I spent a lot of time working outdoors today; my lower pasture`s 'blooming' full of Buttercups in this beautiful weather and I`ve enjoyed a BBQ for my supper......`all in all, a smashing Sunday! :y

Hope everyone else is enjoying this weekend?

No worries on that score - dont do powered two wheels any more.
Dont jump out of planes much at the moment either (and this is a bitching week end for getting your knees in the breeze - man it'll be warm at 13.5 this w/e!) but we can work on that I'm sure! :y :y :y

I had to work last weekend, usually with on-call its about 20 mins work over the entire weekend, but last time, it was 12 hours  :'(

That said i did not mind, 1) Bosses were pleased with me 2) extra pay was nice 3) shows i can handle commercial aspects as well as technical.

I want to expand my commercial skills, as it gives me greater flexibility.
