Picked up the new MV6 shocks this morning.
Changed the oil, oil filter, air filter and fixed a split air intake pipe. Made a big difference and sorted out that lazy lifter tappet-ty sound I was getting occasionally on start up.
Tomorrow I'm finally going to get the bike out of the garage and take a decent ride out. I'm down to take part in the London to Brighton cycle ride in mid-June. I haven't ridden my bike and been smoking fags for the last year. I'M TERRIFIED NOW! I hope I haven't left it too late to get ready to handle the 55mile ride. :-/
Edit:
Oh and I took my daughter to see Avril Lavigne in concert last night. I must admit I didn't know who she was, but I was really quite impressed. She's a proper musician who writes her own stuff and plays loads of musical instruments. The music was quite broad in its range too. She even got the lights down and sat and did a short set of acoustic numbers. I was expecting teeny-bop stuff, but left feeling quite chuffed at my daughter's taste.
I even had one of those moments when I sat watching my daughter standing up, waving a light stick and singing all the words to the songs; it brought tears to my eyes as I remembered her being born and now she's turning into an independant woman. Great evening.
