She's getting a bit sought into now and showing her age and mileage, I'm just about to start fitting a replacement swing arm this year and I've all the bearings, seals and fixings to change that go with it;  braided lines (14 in total :o), new EBC discs and HH pads, new rear shock from the states with a new spring dialled in to my extensive girth and Ive some Ktech internals for the front to fit. Then its back to some standard bodywork and a paint up in the winter. I'll never have white wheels ever again................what an arse ache to keep clean ;D

Decided after over 100k miles she needs a bit of love............that and the front brakes are now shite after being thrashed around today to Western-Super-Mud and back having a laugh with a chap on a Fi 800.........we had a right hoot ;D

Nice ride out today, didn't take any pics though. A bit bloody chilly on the knees to say the least 😁😁😁 As we're retired properly now from the engine builds and restorations, it's made no difference whatsoever to our riding, we used to go out whenever we fancied before and still do the same now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ever gone out for a ride and  something nearly impossible happens. On Saturday I was riding up near Trafalgar square, I'd gone out for the ride to kill some time and decided to go see the pro Ukraine protests on Whitehall when suddenly a guy calls my name and chucks his arm over my shoulder. It was 'Danny the Tigger' my BMW riding nephew, who was in London for a weekend with his biker wife who I met for the first time, and another couple of friends who were with them. They are living in Germany, given the condensed nature of their visit and with friends in tow I wasn't planned into the picture but fate had other ideas! He had spotted me because CB400F riders with a Tiger on their backs are not very common anywhere these days. One of those million to one encounters.

Out for a ride and some lunch. Stumbled upon a group of 'Scooterists'. There is a big shin dig going on at Skegness for the weekend with 100's of scooters. This group were on a lunchtime pub crawl 😁😁😁. Lovely bunch of people and they really are having a fun weekend.

70 mile ride today with 260 miles since rebuild. Carbs now much better and bogging down/poor idle gone after cleaning pilot jets and adjustments to air screws. Just off the B664 which is one of Simon Weirs routes in his book Bikers Britain, great weather for it.
