I've bought new oil and filter for mine and planning to get it done first thing tomorrow.
Then its a full body massage (polish) for her and a nice long ride.
Also planning to order some more decals to add my mark.

I'm with Jon on this one. I'm planning to ride mine.
Get the feeling some folks might beat me up if I reminded them that their bikes are actually inanimate objects :-)

Some of the time I do believe that my triumph has a mind of it's own.... it seems to decide when it's going to run and when it won't!!!

Rim tape adds an extra 5 bhp!

Oil and filter done, air filter checked, gone over the bike with a torque wrench, lubed everything that needs doing.
Fluids checked, tyre pressures amended

Now all I need is some nice weather tomorrow.

Trumpet is running sweet though.

Just put new (modern!) tyres on the X7, new handlebars, a good clean up and taken it for MOT. The motor so noisy it frightens me but starts and pulls ok but now MOT's and serviced will use it to potter about this summer and rebuild over winter.

Aim is to have all my bikes MOT, taxed and on the road for the first time this year, not sure I'm going to achieve it but getting closer than last year. No tyres, chains or servicing to sort at least although KDX needs a full going over and motor rebuild so may not make it. 1971 V50 booked in for MOT next week so that might be interesting!

2 x Gixers + MT03 all Motted, serviced, tyred and in use. Just bought a NC700X DCT as well so finding time to ride them is the main problem ; )
