First ride of the year ( on the ten that is )
« on: February 09, 2010, 04:22:43 PM »
well couldnt take it any more, the last couple of days have been bright sunny and dry here and ive been in two minds about taking the bike out , u no how it goes , its all cleaned and hooked up to the charger  just waiting to be used, but there is the road conditions to think about , salt , grit, slippy etc.
well woke up this morning and thought fuck it i aint putting it off any longer ( i couldnt i was like a junkie needing his fix every part of me screaming DO  IT DO IT DO IT ) and boy so glad i did.
No plod about quiet roads and for the most part pretty good  , only done 80mls or so but man im still grining and the ten as always delivers what ever you ask of it , i hope i never get used to just how great the bike is and keep getting that feeling of amazement and excitement every time i take the ten out.
Bike is now all clean again and waiting for the next time its wheeled out to play ( probably tmrw if the weather is the same ) :lol:
Get out and have some fun !

Thats a bumer mate,  it's a real pain when the alarm takes on a mind of its own , still better to have one than not i suppose although it seems this is mainly for the insurance twats , cos the thieving gypo's will get it regardless of what precautions we take .
Mine has only std alarm , if it gets nicked thats what i pay ins for, having said that bike / car theft aint much of a prob were i live thankfully, still take precautions though as i would be gutted to get up one morning and my ten was gone !
Hope u get it sorted soon bud .

Went out on sat for first ride of the year to try out new suit and boots, very cold but the 10 was great.

ps not sure the white boots go well in the winter.

Have just done me oil change ready for the spring which is probably just around the corner.  Still trying to get the salt from the bolts and things, even toomkk the rear wheel and belly pan out to give it a better clean yesterday.   Cant bloody wait!!!  Hope to get a couple of track days sorted this year, I like the look of the new Silverstone set up....
