My Everyday View 

Overlooking Wicklow Bay and out across the Irish Sea :-)

 

Just getting ready to head off for a Jolly to Hook Lighthouse about 150KM down the Coast 

Flask of Coffee and a sanwich made hopefully the weather stays nice expecting approx 22 C today

A 140KM jolly down south east coast 

Hook Lighthouse in Co Wexford is one of the oldest lighthouses in the world @ 850 years 

Lovely day for a spin :-)

Getting the bike ready for me hols, fitted a Puig screen and checked bike over, fluids levels, tight bolts etc. A few on the rack needed tweaking.

I didn't ride it, will find out how stupid that was at end of shift. 

Forecast says heavy rain after long dry spell for end of shift. 

A 30 minute ride turned into 45 minute drive, parking at work always challenging.

 

If it's not raining at end of shift I won't be happy...

Fitted new rear disc. Had an advisory last year disc was worn so EBC disc ordered. Fitting disc ‘bout 15 minutes. Un seizing the chain adjusters ‘bout hour and half 🤬. Refitting wheel was fun, why do Suzuki have so many loose bits to line up for the axel to go through. Got it all finished just before the rain arrived.

My GPX was much easier.

Its a juggling act to get it all in there and lined up and holding it all with 3 hands while you put the spindle through with the forth isn't it........

I spent the last several days giving my bike a deep clean and polish ready for Coventry Moto Fest and I am well satisfied with my efforts .
