It's the Elephant Rally, google that if you haven't come across it; basically camping in the snow with 5000 other strange folks!
We have 3 bikes each, nothing too flash or unusual |

Need to give the GSXR k6 a full service, new tyres too & needs a trip on the dyno at some point.
Need to sell my slingshot 750
Need to take the lump out of the Bandit 1200 & start rebuilding my slabby into a 7/12 as the 1100 engine in there at the mo needs a rebuild.
Few bits to be getting on with |

Slingshot sold as of last night, as soon as that’s picked up & out the way I’ll have some room to work on the K6, service, new rubber & c & s to start with. Best drag out the garage heater & try not to get too distracted on here. |
