I was in the garage getting the bike ready for the weekend.
I fixed the cross strap for the panniers, fitted the gel pad (after a bit of a repair as it's beginning to unravel) and looked out the sissy bar. I'm not too sure yet, how much cooking gear I'm going to take so I don't know if Ill need the sissy bar and rack. If I can get everything into the panniers and roll bag I'll just do with that.
Anyway, I decided to go and fill up the tank with fuel, ready for the journey down the M74 on Friday.
Went to the petrol station, filled the tank then decided to go for a short ride to make the most of the weather.
Well, a hundred and so many odd miles later and I'm back to a half tank.
That's me going to have to start off by refuelling on Friday morning!
Another P.S.
The axle covers are billet aluminium so the magnets won't stick to them. I considered glueing one inside but there isn't enough room for the magnet to allow the cover to seat properly. Will buy a new pair but as it's costly I'll wait 'till after the Lakes weekend.
