I haven't agreed a rate yet  mind, suggestions on a postcard to the usual address

One K1300S every 10 days. Plus expenses, obvs.
Does give you enough flex in price?

I mean, there's a K1300S in Autotrader for under £3k at the moment. I was seriously tempted. That's like the price of tinned luggage for a GS.

We must have hit the nadir for K pricing, I reckon.

But aim for a Motorsport every 10 days.

Meh
12 days

Did you bid on the cheap one on eBay this evening, that I really shouldn't have been looking at?
Well whoever won it got a bargain, with only a few bits of hassle.

No just looked at Autotrader.  K13 are going cheap now, very low mileages, lots under £5k, it is very tempting. Still, I haven't earned a penny yet, must stop counting my chickens

So last week a trip to Shropshire with a couple of diversions into Wales.  On day 2 the bike developed a misfire below 4000rpm which meant riding through Welsh villages at 20 was a noisy first gear affair. Bit like riding a 2 stroke. Examining the bike I thought this frayed wire from an old optimate flying lead was the problem, but removed it with no effect. Anyway managed a 1000.6 miles for the week.



After the Welsh wander I had to go to Manchester to prove I am a real person and can work in the UK, and 30,000 came up





Off to Godalming tomorrow, 500 miles for the day. Bike booked in for a service in a week or so, probably need new tyres too

500 miles yesterday, 400 dry. Stuttering like hell below 4k, so just ride at speeds over 4k natch, tyres lunched. On the upside the double USB socket I replaced the din socket with (that the plug in double USB socket kept falling out of) kept the phone sat nav fully charged all day. The last 100 wet mile showed the Enduroguard jacket is not waterproof. If anyone knows the correct waterproofing to use please tell, as Techwash ain't it. And the enduroguard glove felt wetted out but my hands were dry, but I think I'm going to get some new gloves. Why else would I go back to work?
