With us still in lockdown in Kent and after what seems like forever banged up 23 hours a day in the house, I can't wait to get the bloody vaccine and be able to go out again on the bike.
I doubt after so long in the garage that it will actually start! I have the dbPower unit on charge to 100% to fire the big boy over. And then we'll see.
The weather hasn't actuality enticed me out on the road either. At the moment it alternates between hissing rain and high winds or frost that brings out the gritters with their nasty sand and salt concoction that rots Triumph chrome away in minutes.
The new Motobatt battery I bought and fitted a year ago, today as it would happen (!) will no doubt be as dead as the proverbial dodo. All thanks to the bastard that created this virus in their little laboratory.
When will it all end!
In the end did what I should have done months ago but I suppose I thought it would all be over and normal life might start to come back. I should have done the "statutory off road notification" and claimed the vehicle tax back as the bike it sitting unused in the garage.
With SORN you aren't allowed to use the vehicle on the public highway and it needs to stay on private ground on in the garage. As mine has been the latter for months and months I should have done it before. Now I should get only 4 months tax paid back and when I need to use the bike I can tax it again.
The MoT runs out on 18th February and as long as I have an appointment booked, a bike with no MoT can be ridden legally to the testing station. Once the lockdown is over I will get it going and off for the test. I guess that will be Laguna in Ashford as usual.
