    Finally got rid of the rusty stock exhaust. Used the Lextek SP1 with link pipe. Still a bit of hassle, and as its a generic can it meant the strap hides the K on the logo, but hey. Still looks ok! :) (Well, I think so).

    I went to TW Suspension yesterday to have the suspension set up properly on my RR6. Wasn't handling badly before but I decided it wouldn't do any harm to have an expert set it up for me, (I'm clueless with the spanners). Took a load of measurements both with and without me on the bike and then got to work adjusting both front and rear. Few test rides and a further small tweak here and there and I've got to say you can really feel the difference.

    Bike turns a lot better now, giving me even more confidence when throwing it into a bend. All for the sake of £40, highly recommended.

    Fitted new tyres, thought I'd try something different so gone for conti sport attacks. Took a quick ride out to start scrubbing them in, only managed 10 minutes and it started pouring it down . Came home and fitted new levers.

    Contemplated selling it!

    I go through these thought cycles every year but I'm getting less and less time on it. I was gutted last year only covering 1000 miles and this year I've not even managed 200!

    Anyone fancy a unique TT legends bike :p

    Stop it :p

    If I could get more time on it I wouldnt even consider it but I promised myself I would make time to use it properly this year and there has always been other things in the way or the weather hasn't been too great.

    It plays on my mind so much I dreamt I was on holiday with John McGuinness last night o_O
