Avon Cobra front

At the MoT a few weeks back although a pass again,  Pepé was marked as needing a new front tyre at some stage.

It's about a mm above the wear blocks in the tread. So I have ordered a new Cobra.

There is a new Cobra Chrome (AV91) on the market but at 20% more expensive than the standard Cobra (AV71) to stay Chrome-free.

It should arrive later this week so I need to get it booked in at Laguna to get it fitted.

Tyre has been despatched.  Have to see how long it takes to arrive.

In the summer it charges and holds that charge and although I keep the dbPower unit to hand I rarely have to use it.  But in winter it barely has the power to turn the engine over. It's simply "clunk". The lights come on though and that probably doesn't help. So what to do? Being a fair weather biker nowadays I won't be using the bike that often until the new year. Do I get a new battery sooner rather than later? It might end up freezing away in the garage. I have a garage in a block away from the house with no power, so a trickle charger is no use either. I have been looking at a replacement though.  A  Motobatt  with a high cranking power should be around £75. So unlikel...

Cup of Tea - Having a go at it!

Well that didn't work out as I expected.  The TomTom satnav/GPS had a wobbler and so I only managed P, O and E before calling it a day. I need to connect it and delete the routes it thinks it has and update the one that I will amend on MyRouteApp. The E wasn't the one I was expecting.  That both village signs were in quite dangerous areas meant a stop wasn't very clever. Some of the roads TomTom chose would be difficult on a DR trail bike. But we managed it in the end. P - Peene Railway Museum O - Ottinge Court Farm E - Eythorne Maybe a POE challenge! In the end the stats were:
