Friday to yesterday... 500 miles done on the Forza for the annual X9 bash. This year up in the Peak District staying at Derby. Cracking weather!

Bike needs a good wash with the dust and bugs.

Three weeks til the France rideout!

Fitted some protective tape to the footwell area on the GTS. Boot heels can scuff a particular area when riding. rr (Roadrunner) kindly supplied some strips of anti slip tape for the purpose of doing this. Thanks again Roger. Although the tape may look slightly crooked, it's the contour of the bodywork making it look that way! Not my total incompetence at fitting 'tape'!! :o

Be my guest Bern. My paintwork was still in unmarked condition around the 'heel' area but with a few long trips coming up, it's likely it wouldn't stay that way so hence the tape.

Now...where was I? Think I might just take the crankshaft out and give it a polish!... :lol:

Found the oil filler on the DN (still can't find the coolant header tank though) and figured out how the flappy paddle manual bit of the gearbox works. Think I'll stick with just shoving it in 'D' and riding off TBH :lol:
