It's 21c here at the moment but it didn't feel that warm when i took the bike up the hill to dry it out after washing it, although i only had a T shirt on so that didn't help :classic_laugh:

I have had an electrical fault on my car for months, actually it’s probably a couple of years now, the rev counter only works intermittently. To get it to work correctly I need to turn some lights on, any lights, doesn’t matter which, switch them on and it starts working. It even goes on/off in time with the indicators. 
I keep meaning to get to it to trace the issue but can’t be arsed to pull the dash off. Today might be the day 😂

I bought a Triumph Speed 4 from a guy who had bought it new, but barely ridden the thing. It all worked OK, but when I took the tank off to replace the air filter there was the remains of a mouse nest under the tank. The little buggers had gnawed a hole in the airbox too! Fortunately the hole wasn't too big, so I filled it with some plastic repair putty.

Rode north up to spend the week at my parents’, 250km on the motorway at perfect temperatures, 20/25°, just lovely. Didn’t feel like leaving my place, though.

On the way here stopped at a gas station and went over to help a british couple that looked like were having trouble with a tire. Turns out they just didn’t know how to put in the coin into the tire compressor. They were very surprised to learn it was free :classic_laugh:  They were also very displeased with all the bugs splattered on their otherwise shiny Kawasaki GTR 1400 :classic_laugh:

No, a kit car built by a GP in his garage. I had to resolve a load of idiosyncrasies on it when I bought it from him 12 years ago.
 

Still not fixed, I looked at it, got head down in the footwell to work out how to get the dash off, decided my back hurt then went out on my Indian instead. Maybe next w/end … 😆

It is a lovely colour.

Was out on mine today and came the closest ive ever been to coming off it. I ended up on a minor road which has so much crap on it that it was just two narrow ribbons of tarmac with gravel either side and down the middle, caught the gravel and almost came off. Was only doing 10-15mph.
