Oil and filter changed, coolant changed, brake fluid changed, everything greased. Just gotta change reg plate and take tyres down to MOT place, give the go ahead for insurance and tax it once it’s been tested, and I’m good (ish) to go lol
On the contrary, dads bike is beyond repair. The mould brackets on the frame holding dog bone have broken, it’s a right off, un repairable. He could replace the frame but cost is too much so parts are being sold off it.
Yay! How is the back holding out then? Must be a lot better than 6 months ago?

Not repairable by welding or bonding with adhesive?
Back is crap, disc above surgery site has prolapsed now, but I’m not waiting anymore, it’s driving me nuts, so I’m gonna just potter about on it on sunny days, nothing too much, now hanging off it or big mileage, just enough to save my sanity.
Dads bike can’t be welded unfortunately, it’s already being broken for parts now as well lol
Welcome back to the road, you will have to pop over if the back is up to it. I get Mrs Radar to make (lots of) scones!
Sorry to see the Millie looking a bit ill. When did that happen?
Does he intend to get another bike?
Happened on Sunday Radar, he was just going over speed humps through village and it snapped.
I think he will get another bike, but he’s thinking of a monster or similar, he’s 70 this year, he’s looking at more upright riding position.Shame about Ron’s bike, it looked tidy otherwise
Good to the GSXF blinking in sunlight once more though!
Passed the MOT, no advisories! Of course I went the long way home……lol
Great news, hope you enjoyed yourself!
What is your range with the bad back?
Just as a thought would a more upright bike like an FZ1 or Z1000 suit you better now?
Range at the minute, about 20 miles lol, and yes an upright bike would be more sensible……but then nothing about me is sensible lol

Well that’s 20 miles more than you could manage! Nope, there isn’t much sensible about you, and you are all the better for that!
How about a Aprilia Tuono? Loads of grunt and upright, just watch the suspension linkages…
It’s a v twin…..lol
Maybe if I get awarded my money back in court on 26th, I’ll buy something sensible, but will always keep a sports bike, could not be without one lol
