|  Today, I stripped. Or, when Bikers get bored
Didn't have anything to do today. Ducati looked a bit grubby after a year of riding round in the rain (though Couch gave it a quick wash yesterday, thanks  ), so it's gone in the workshop and ended up in a few bits. The more I take off it, the more dirt I see!       I don't want it to be cleaned like the typical sportsbike, all shiny fairing and filthy everything else, so it's gotta be done. Plus I love tinkering with it and it's let me find a few loose bolts as I've been going round. Just need the wheels out and the big clean can begin! |

I did similar to the Pan over the weekend. A service, then a proper deep clean, followed by a thorough ACF50 bath.  Sorted for another year!

 My new favourite tool is the triangle with the hook on the end for getting the exhaust springs off. What a great little thing and so simple | |

Wheels out is next job. I think that the seat and front fairing are so enclosed that nothing has really got in there, so they might be staying put. See how I feel when I start going round it.
