    edit: right front brake pads are done, left is halfway there, just having a few issues getting the pistons back down... namely that i stopped for a beer and I cant seem to start again....
    Hopefully it won't be wet for 6 hours! Or even 1

    Did the clutch bleed do the trick? Hope so. Saw you out there today, good practise eh lol.

    Shouldn't be on the main highway for long. Just remember, if you see the cars going backwards slow down and wait for them lol.

    Yeah the clutch is now mint...

    Looked like the fluid hadn't been changed in a few years, was all brown and milky.. Now I just have to get used to the extra long throw on it lol.. WIll attack the brake fluids tonight as I suspect they will be the same.

    Yes first ride last night with pillion, she was pretty good actaully... Leant in with me every which way we turned and she had total faith in myself and the bike in the wet.. So if she is keen to get up early on Sat morn, you should see us out there for the wllies ride..

    that'll be enough of that, some of us seem to have a pre-occupation with sheep but thats not my bag baby! I was hoping someone might like the full on farm experience and come give us a hand with the docking but no one seems interested a generous offer like that...I dunno....

    bit the bullet and ordered the new rear disc today so no excuses for this weekend other than the weather...
    Sweet, that one you got on was looking tired for sure. Hmm...carbon ceramic you say...interesting, they sound like they might be good.

    They flogged me a pair of SBS sintered pads, quoted me $65 a side on the phone, got there and I line up Paul to do the deal as he quite often will do me a bit of a deal.
    Looked around while I was there as you do and picked up some Maxima chain wax which was priced at $16, Thought right, that'll be $146 all up, Paul said that'll be $106 and I said "sweet" and kept my mouth shut from then on.
