Yoga and Fell Running is still off the menu, butt and legs a bit sore but other than that, chipper thanks ShellyHow are you feeling now Mr D
Ok I hope
Glad to hear you are ok
Resolution. Harriett is considered to be a Cat N write-off (absolute nonsense in my view, she'll be back on the road at minimal cost and I'll be keeping my eye out in the bike community). Anyway, it is what it is, on the upside I recieved £4900 for a replacement bike, a good deal considering Harriett cost £4850 new (17/18 model on a 19 plate with me as the first registered keeper). For just £200 extra I have purchased Holly, a newer model on a 19 plate with 3k miles less on the clock. I'll sell the topbox fitting kit as I have mine undamaged from Harriett so should be even. Welcome to the fleet Holly, looking forward to the ride back from Blackpool tomorrow 
Thats good news
Nice I hope it’s a dry day for you to enjoy it.
Seems to be decent at the moment
for no rain
That is a great looking bit of kit Andy and enjoy the ride back from Blackpool ....
No mate, I checked it, it's brand new and absolutely sparkling clean. Zero rust. It's the photo mate.

Yes mate had one on my last bike
You sure you don't need this
No mate, it's spot on, brand new and lubed. It'll be cleaned and lubed again when I get home.
Shirls dad told me how he lubricated the chain on his Bonny back in the day, lot of faff but it worked. Heat some grease in a flat tray till it melted and lay the chain in it till it cooled. Wipe off the excess and refit. He did say that sometimes Dot's legs did get a bit sprinted.

Haha. I used to have a Suzuki GSX1100 back in the early 80's (which is why I now have a steel pin in my right leg). Being young and stupid didnt bother too much with stuff like lubrication. Did notice once that the chain looked a bit dry, all I could find was some molyslip (engine oil additive) so I used that. Seemed to do the trick. Mind you, we only used to get 6,000 km's out of a rear tyre, and a new chain every second tyre. I wont say why . . .
So yours looks fine Andy

The chain is spot on mate, brand new and suitably lubed. My chain gets lubed within an inch of it's life, this one will too
You don't use that green cow lube then Andy?
