Well, the weather forecast was right for a change. Warm (double figures even!), sunny day. Roads were mainly dry with still a few icy and damp patches but overall not a bad afternoon for a quick spin.
And yeah, I noticed that one of the vented panels had come loose after I took the pics. |

Cheers dude. Didn't have much time, squeezed the run in between dropping the wee fella off at his nursery and picking him up again so just a quick bimble around some local roads.

Niceone, once I'm back from ap next week that's exactly what I'll be doing, 9-1130 youngest at nursery = 2hrs out on the local twistys rather than bloody housework! |

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left

Not actually Arrows m8, Renegade highmounts. But they looked kinda plain left bare so I chucked some Arrow heat resistant decals on 'em. Naughty, naughty!
Yep, drop the sprogs of at nursery and grab some bike time when you can m8, it's good for the soul!

Haha it's funny you say that, I thought you had renegade cans from the pics you had on the zone and I didn't think arrow did a high level pipe but I'm no expert. Definitely going to make the most of the time this year last was spent looking after her full time...great but hard at the same time. Been spending the free time in the man cave every other day always stuff to tinker with but would rather be riding. Pleased. You stuck to what you said and started riding yours again and didn't have to sell, it's hard with nippers but gets easier as they get older

Cheers dudes!
Matt - Still got the dodgy ignition cut out thing happening, did it yesterday while it was sat warming up on the drive for no real reason. Took the key out, put it back in and waggled it a bit and it was fine for the rest of the day. But I need to investigate it further as its always at the back of my mind while out on the road. The few times its done it when riding it has happened when I've been upright on a straight road. Wouldn't fancy it happening whilst cranked over mid-corner.

Yep. Ochil hills in the background. It's a layby on the long straight between Bandeath and Airth, just before South Alloa. Going to look at the ignition switch tomorrow. I intend removing the electrical part, stripping it and cleaning it then reassembling with fresh electrical grease. Hopefully that will do the trick.
