Mine's nice and clean after its wash. Still got to give it a pre-winter wax though. Interior's been hoovered out too, needs some dash shine yet. I've found my aerosols of waxoil, so I may start on the rust proofing later. Had new tyres all round a couple of moths ago, now seven years old and still only 22k on the clock, it drives like new.

was going to wash it too but they wash it when they do the service check etc. so leave it til then. its fairly clean anyways

Found them in your wallet when you went to pay for the tyres :)

Finally sussed a way of uploading pics:) here's my new ride to workAttachment 28666 I've got used to the hard seat now:) not super fast like the 4 cylinder super sports but plenty quick enough for me, sounds quite nice with akrapovic pipe on too

My biking buddy has all but given up riding this year and has handed over the keys to his bike for me to enjoy for a while, and enjoy it I will

Very nice. I have just bought a Speed Triple 94. It is also on SORN now, but I still have my K16 to pootle about on until the weather gets to grim.

The Blade is back home now, having had a service, fairing smart-repaired (an absolutely mint job, thanks for the suggestion Jon), new chain and MOT (sailed through). All for £530. Picked it up on a dry and sunny Thursday, it's pissed down since :( Still got to tax it, but don't know if it's worth bothering now. How much is road tax for bikes these days? Can you pay monthly direct debit? You didn't used to be able to for bikes.

I was a bit apprehensive getting back on, the last time I rode it I fell off. I needn't have worried, it was like I'd never been away. After 2 years of van performance, it was a hoot getting on something that shifts like that :)

Good u got it on Rd.. Tax will be about £80 I think. As u say with our weather now isn't time to run it.

Great news :D
Yup, you can pay monthly for tax. Probably worth doing just in case a warm dry day appears and you feel the urge to take her out.
Get some pics up Steve!
