As most of you will know I’ve not had a trouble free entry into the world of katana ownership, your probably fed up with my constant pestering for information when things have gone wrong well I think after the other nights shenanigans you might finally be rid of me :roll:
I went out for a nice steady run over the snake pass towards some of my favourite biking roads in Yorkshire. The evening started out warm and sunny and after filling up with Esso’s finest super (no ethanol) I enjoyed a really nice trouble free ride apart from when some blind twonk decided to pull out in front of me! the old four finger death grip still works well :lol: anywhoose two hours later it’s pitch black and getting chilly so I headed for home until disaster struck and it started raining :shock:
When I arrived home the bike looked like it had just taken part in a scrambles competition! it’s absolutely filthy and will never be the same again :( I’m so upset I might have to sell it :lol:

It's not dirt, it is expensive covering! All the expensive shiny cars in Cheshire are wrapped like they have had a £2.99 rattle can Matt black spray job that shows all the grot. So in actual fact your bike is now posher!!!

Well it is now as I've spent the last two nights cleaning & polishing every nook & cranny. A final couple of hours tomorrow with the solvol and she will be back to how she was before. Ready for Monday night if your still up for it?

Crikey! Don't admit that to Fossie!

I cleaned some dead flies and a fuel spill off the tank of Skruffy Kat on the way to EK8.

Thought I'd got away with it..... :lol:
