I know it's a bit off-topic

But I rode my motorbike today.

What with working from home and getting into messing around with the SO Audi
I haven't had much use for the bike for the past 5 or 6 weeks.

Still, it made it out today to chug through its MOT[1] and then pootled back
home again.

They're quite good fun, bikes, aren't they?

[1] New headlight bulb, new rear brake switch and a new horn.

Fecking summer riders!

 

Get on yer pissin' tits don't they?

<goes back to Clint Eastwood>

 

It's been serviced. Twice, I think. In about 25000 miles or so, IIRC.

 

It's a bit of a crap version, innit? I'm sure my DVD copy has much
better lip-syncing.

Still, Clint rocks.

 

Yeah, go on punk, make my day.....

 

Clint's a fucking legend and it ain't just the lip syncing. I'm sure I
saw him filing some metal that was about 500ms out and before that he
was banging some metal after he got injured.

 

My god.

 

It was serviced at 4k miles, 25k miles and ... um ... that's about it. It's
currently sitting somewhere around 34k, so it's not due one for a while yet.

This is its fifth winter, although it's not getting used very much ATM, but
I have followed a rigourous schedule of riding it through crap and then
slinging it in the garage and ignoring it until the next time I want to use
it.

Good ol' Kwak build quality.

Absolutely.

 

To be fair only one of my oil changes has resulted in Greenpeace coming
round to scrub down baby birds and it's sod's law that if you're trying to
rush an oil change that will be the one where you forget to put the sump
plug back in.

Try riding it.

I bet you washed it as well?

Bikes have horns? Doncha have a kill switch?

 

MOT for bikes ?

*chuckle*

How quaint.

 

....and where there are witnesses.
