I never knew that was an RAF nickname, I thought these were the rock apes you were referring to:

I got some nearly new tyres fitted to my bike, a friend of a friend decided he didn't like them after 250 miles. So at £50 I'm happy to try a pair of Metezler Roadtecs for the first time.
Oh & who needs paddock stands anyway?

The bricks etc are only because my trolley jack sinks under load then the bike slips on the axle stands.
Update - tyres are good, they work & everything. Felt nice on cold roads in strong winds tonight which has to be a good sign.

If I make a meet before I FO I have a stand you can have. I bought it for my old cbf600 to do a clutch.

Cheers. If it's wide enough, I had one for my old RF600 but it doesn't fit the 14.
In fact I might still have it, it fits my Bonnie. I'm not sure I rescued it though.

Well this sprocket carrier bearing explains the noises on the way home yesterday and why the chain has kept going slack but how on earth did it feel ok when I checked it last week?
It's only 12k old too.

That doesn’t look good. (Stating the obvious)
I took a trip into that London today to pick up a bag that Mrs.B had ordered from a posh shop in New Bond St. 160 mile round trip. She’s happy so it’s worth it

Passed the IAM test today, seems they think I can sort of ride a bike. I'd disagree, I'm crap at it but they're the experts*
