Spring has sprung and two wheels turn. - Gwyn Parry
Well after a long winter lay up, sort the bike out - already taxed and insured it was just a matter of starting the beast (CBR1000) and getting it MOT'd. Japanese build quality or what. It last turned a wheel last October, Battery was flat - a two hour re-charge, the starter motor churned over to get the oil light off, engage the kill switch and it burst into life. Pre-book its MOT (13.50) stop off a a garage to check tyres and woosh, sailed through its MOT and a blast home. What a laurrrrgh, biggest grin for months......sun on my back all traffic shrinking in my mirrors - Summer is here,,,,,! Funny how the leathers seem to have shrunk in the wardrobe though !!

Just watch out for Phylis pulling out of B&Q on "25% discount for pensioners" on a Tuesday morning.

I avoid B&Q like the plague ! Especially since given a sound verbal lashing in a an earlier thread for riding past the place on main beam.... :)
