That's great Nick. Good luck on the test ride.

For various reasons, I didn't get on with it at all and gave it up before sitting the test. Nothing to do with IAM method though, I do put the lessons in to practice.

Commuted to work on my bike today - the first time since mid-December.

I dropped it then, and it fell on the end of the throttle spacer and bent the bolt that keeps it in place meaning the throttle wouldn't reset when I let go of it. I haven't been able to get it out, so was going to wait until the service which is due next month.

Last week someone said to me 'bash it with a hammer'. So I did yesterday, and it works again! It's good to be back on the bike!

(I will ask for it to be looked at when it goes in for the service).

Nice

Mine is In the garage on a charger and looks very happy there.

After she was stolen and recovered I don't like leaving her out anywhere

Ace! :)
Mine are still in bits. Hoping to ride the CBR this year at some point (but not sure when).

Mine is in bits, fitting daylight running lights and some new rear indicators.

Dropped my earlier this year new clutch lever and got me to change the clutch cable which needed doing.

It went out to work 2 weeks back. It was very cold. Heated grips up to 80% :)

Bike 1 in hibernation since early November.

Bike 2 has just had one of the exhaust cans replaced (eBay 2nd hand) as the old one was corroded through. Bike 2 is liable to the London ULEZ charge from April but, as I'm not currently commuting to That London, I'm keeping it for now.

The thread lives! I’ve been m’bike commuting through winter, picking my days a bit carefully around the weather, because cycling that valley road in the dark feels a bit lethal😳
I now have a 97 Funduro 650. Not the soundest or shiniest bike I’ve ever owned but a nice hack and I know all it’s previous owners 😊

Its back together. Note to self if you get the bleed and breather tubes round the way it wont start despite how many times you crank it. :)
