YeeHaa!

Well, I got the service done and without getting wet – which considering the forecast was a minor triumph. Now I am all set to do some serious riding except that the next few days are taken up with various obligations that will prevent me from getting on the bike at all. I got the dealer to fit an Optimate charging lead during the service, this should ensure that even when I am not able to ride the bike for a few days, I will be able to keep the battery in good condition.

Another maintenance thing I want to do is to apply the tankslapper vinyl I ordered and have now received, to the areas of the paintwork likely to get scratched. One such area is the engine cover just above the brake pedal where the leg zip of my Roadcrafter suit seems to rub.
