It's my day off......
Dogs for a walk, then as it's school Half Term and I'm my teenage daughters are needing a taxi service, that was second job. Wife's agreed to pick up 'cos footy's on telly this evening.
Went for a run and then the most important job of the day - some major fettling, cleaning and polishing of my T. In the last week the weather's been crap on every commute, so let's see wazzup....
1. Nail in rear tyre, bollox, repairable, but new tyres on order ( Metzeler M5)
2. M5/6(?) bolt missing from under rear. Hmm. Replaced.
3. Coolant low - top-up. Always having to do this every 3-400mls. No leaks.
4. Lower fairing rubbing against coolant hose, put discreet tape on before hole appears. Hmmm.
5. Note water in rear indicator - remove, dry and replace. Hmmm. Again.
6. Loose screws on rear heelguard. Any more whilst I'm at it?? you little fookers.
As they say, having an Italian bike is like having a supermodel girlfriend - nice to look at but high maintenance! Would never be without my T though, looking mint now :thumbup
Oh, and finally, pay bike insurance renewal.
Now, beer in garage - check.
All set for a fine evening.
:cheers
