No my Forza hasn't had a clean since before my France trip nearly a month ago.

Today had a blast down the A12 to London for a dental crown fitment. Good chance to scrub the tyres in.

But was it hot in the bike. Even at 80mph.

Passed MOT with 12698 miles on the odometer - and yes - no advisories

With the lack of rain, it would be antisocial to use precious water cleaning bikes and cars.

Just be sensible if using a hose (i.e. only use it when required rather than it running all the time), maybe don't use a pressure washer as they use more water. A watering can probably most efficient.

Or leave it until the weather breaks.

Will be awaiting a long time the way things are going.

Today With the helix on the platform lift I removed the clutch and saw that one of the three shoes each of which should be retained by a circlip had its circlip missing allowing the shoe to vibrate as it came into contact with the drum which I'm sure was the reason for the juddering on start off, 3 new circlips ordered from David Silver Spares so have to wait about 2 weeks for them when new shoes will be fitted. Shall have to use my lovely Foresight in the meantime.

I finally got round to painting the stands. Easier than I thought.The side stand was actually in good nick. The main stand just needed a quick once over with a wire brush. A lick of Wilko fake Hammerite and all is well.

Nothing, it's too hot!

Well tonight once it is cooler I will start cleaning it. The local RBLRB has been invited to have a stand at the Navy bases Family’s day so the Burg had to look better than it currently does. 2 months and 2000 high speed miles of bugs and road grime to shift. Could take a few nights
