Got told to take it easy for 100 odd km

[sinfull]

100 odd k ? Fuck i'm gonna be staying home eating flapjacks for 3 months to recoup what just went out the door !

Why on earth i left the house at all this week i'll never know !

I'd done pretty well, eating everything i had in the pantry and freezer, to stall off the enevitable !

But alas the sun was shining, my feet got itchy and i bit the bullet ! Add the fact that there's a ride on this weekend, up the Island to visit a mate leaving the country for dusty pastures !

I'm normally pretty good at staggering shit like reg etc, but somehow (with 6 mths here and 3 mths there) they had all fallen due together Gulp !
Yes folks the planets had aligned themselves over the past year, that had led me to finding myself with a work (deisel) van out of reg, 3000 k over on miles, a bike with two sad tyres, no warrant and no reg AAAAArrrrggggghh !

So i had to do the deed.

Well the van got a measely 3 mth rego and 6000 clicks to keep me going for a while !

But anyway, the bike, which i never cheapen, got a new set of lasertecs, I do love the L/tecs.
Last rear i probably got 7 maybe 7.5 thou k out of, which aint too bad i guess and they have saved me on more than one arse clenching moment, when the rubber has left the road for a second, while manouvering a tractor where sportsbikes fear to tread.

The front's lasted out two rears and wasn't legal no more so mehh.
Add a set of pads to the kit (for later), a pack of oil and a filter, some chain lube, A warrant, 6 mths of reg !
And i kissed goodbye to a good whack of my of savings, that's suppose to be building for the three road trips coming up in the next couple of years

Rant over ! Better go do this oil change and alignment now !!!
