30,000 mile service up in Sunderland thanks to Muddy Sump. Worth the every mile of the 500 mile round trip, and couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Hard week at work :( Bike came out in sympathy and decided it needed a lie down coming out of the office car park :(

Car driver that I had to stop for (unfortunately on a steep camber so nothing there when I put my foot down) did help me pick the old girl up :) mot a mark on her either :) :)

Before you try this ... picking up a 200Kg bike in 27 degrees C in full riding kit is not recommended ...

Washed the brake fluid off the back tyre and parked it up in my garage.

Worked this morning , and as it was peeing it down, thought best to keep out of the long haired generals way, sooo in to the garage stripped out head stock on tener lady, greased up the bearings, happy days. Hadn't been done since morroco trip last year, 20,000km later, still good, and had some nasty looking grease left in there. Good for another 20k.....we'll see. :D
