I've been somewhat quiet on the motorcycle tinkering front lately, partly through laziness when it comes to writing stuff, but mostly because, after a very hectic start to the year rushing to have bikes ready for various events/trackdays I decided I needed to chill out a bit and actually ride the things.
But things being what they are, I've got an ever growing list of jobs to do on all the bikes - some enforced by things breaking, others prompted simply by my need to fiddle with things. So to help me
procrastinate get my head in order, I thought it would be a good time to post an update on each bike - beginning with the longest serving member of the wildchild.org.uk fleet, our trusty Honda CG125 BR-J.

Continuing the theme of making plans for next year, I've just signed up for the
2010 Horizons Unlimited Mountain Madness.
Having entered the small bike (sub-645cc) category last year (courtesy of
Dave Haines and his fleet of DR-Z400s), this year I'm going for the big bike category, which means taking the mighty DR800 off road. Of course that means rebuilding it, as it's currently liberally strewn across the garage, but that is just a triviality (erm?). I'll be teaming up (as "Team Fermented Fettlers") with
Tom and his 2008 Tenere, and we're both dragging our respective other halves along for the roadtrip to the event for good measure.
It's going to be good. And hopefully considerably warmer than the Dragon.
