Pretty good here :)

Car was booked into the garage last Wednesday so took the bike out of it's winter hibernation. Having sat untouched since October I was pleasantly surprised when it started 2nd time. 7 Days, 160 miles and a tank of fuel later things are looking good.

Decided to take the rural route to and from work and had a blast, loads more bikers out everyone nodding away.

Hello to the Tiger rider on the Chesterfield bypass who seemed as happy as me, and a word of warning to the Hornet rider near Matlock who nodded so furiously I thought he was going to hit a kerb.

Oh, and I booked myself onto a BikeSafe course in June. :)

Despite the bike now caked in all things muddy and grim, I'm grinning :D
 
The thought of an eastern European oik approaching my bike clutching a soiled rag makes me shudder.

Bring it in the house and do it in front of the tele...
 
Everyone with new chains and sprockets... should probably give mine a look over. 11k miles with a Scott-Oiler should mean the chain isn't in dire need of some TLC.

New brake pads might be needed, and maybe new hoses, braided perhaps, while I'm there new fork internals... A word of warning MarkST, this is how it begins.
