    Gear is clean also, well the bottom half is...what a bastard they are to put back together once dry...all the padding/knee armour/water proof liner/winter liner came out...thought they were dry and started putting the crap back in when water fell out of the pockets!!!.... back out on the line they go for an hour.

    Looking forward to seeing the group pic at the bridges...did anyone notice that random guy on the SV who managed to get into the pic?...
    Reminded me of Matt last year at the lighthouse.

    Cleaned my chain for the first time ever (since '98), until now I have been just adding chain lube. tsk tsk. But it was just looking too gritty after Saturday's efforts.
    The chain splash guard thingy has screws just nicely concealed by the exhaust, quite a mission for one who is not mechanically minded. A centre stand would be REALLY helpful too.
    Lots of kerosene and a loooong row of newspaper later, clean and shiny with no lasting damage to me or the bike.
    I figured I should spin the chain dry (good enough excuse?), so popped out to Huia... etc.
    I'd rather be sorry for something I've done, than for something I didn't do.

    Alright photos are here. Unfortunately I don't have access to the same toolsets as before so they are lacking somewhat aesthetically.


    http://www.flickr.com/photos/5855339...7632057551955/

    EDIT: If you want to download a photo, pull up the one you want then click 'actions' then 'view all sizes.' There should be a download link on the page or you can right click and save image as. Give me a yell if you want a higher resolution.

    Also no usage without attribution.
