As topic says, going to get the TRX out of the vac bag tomorrow, in readiness for new tax 1st april have a trip planned to poole this year for the bike night, and a trip to bristol, and one to north wales, so need to get it sorted....cleaned fueled up, and oil change, and air filter cleaned.... planning on about 800-1000 miles didnt do 800 last year !!!! may have one or two local trips to Abergavenny as well to put a few miles on the old Smoker. !!!!!

thinking of taking off the rear fairing and giving it a good going over to make sure all is o.k under there...could really do with a new chain, just hoping a thorugh degreasing and relubing will be ok.. still on original Chain....

ahh well another year goes. on...

Oh wow, that's cool!

I like to ride mine though :P

Just kidding, sounds like a good way to go, especially if you have multiple bikes.
