Swapped my darling’s M796 15T front sprocket with a brand new JT’s 14T today. She complained about never using 4th gear. I changed the retaining plate and bolts at the same time. Glad I went looking in there as, at 63.000km, it was about time… These retaining plates are crucial to the transmission set up and still, they look so frail! Also allowed to clean up a bit. I love dry lube. Things stay really clean, very easy.
Fitted the Evotech exhaust hanger to the Pikes Peak, and the Evotech levers to the V2. I need to test the levers out in a minute, but it looks like it’s about to piss down.
When I got home this afternoon I’d received a parcel from the DOCGB with goodies for WDW in July 2 x WDW T shirts 1 x flexible water bottle & carabiner 1 x sunglasses with (wait for it……..) a bottle opener in the arms
100 mile ride out with a mate, two stops for coffee and bacon, sausage and black pudding baps. Really pleasant out. Got home and fitted paddock stand bobbins and a horizontal head shield to the Monster. Now sat contemplating what to have for tea and how long the beers I just put in the fridge will take to chill.

Popped to the dealer to turn off my service light and bought a new jacket and pants. I've worn Klim for a decade, but always look like I'm off to tackle the Antarctic, so tried on some Halvarssons stuff and really impressed with the quality. Will be great for weekend bimbles.
Road past the following afternoon. Atmosphere looked amazing!. People lining the roads, barbecues on the go etc. Enjoy.
