    Just fired up the Wing! woohoo.

    Quick spin round the island revealed a few things that need attention:

    1; the steering will be noticeably slower with new fork springs, and
    no air in the rear shocks.
    2; 20 psi in either tyre is not conducive to happy handling
    3; Carburettors full of Wynn's, and a freshly oiled K&N do not make
    for emission free motorcycling.
    4; it's filthy.
    5; those heated grips have got to go - the lack of span is very
    disconcerting.
    6; the pedal brake is still not right.

    Still, it was nice to get back on board - first time it's left the
    close since October 10th.

    I bet Bike didn't know you were only a part-timer.

    I thought you'd have set that up straight away.....
    Keeps the tailgaters away
    No change there then
    I'll have them...
    Bleed through again and make sure the fron caliper ain't seized.

    Enjoy!
