About 4.5 hours.
Just noticed he's even cleaned and lubed the chain!

4.5 hrs cleaning and stuff, that's a proper job, especially if parking up for a while,

Isn't it just! OriginallY I thought it was £80 for the valet and another for the ACF50 treatment, which I would have paid.

The pro cleaning didn't dislodge those unsightly yellow stains on the wheels, swingarm and rad guards

Re: NBT: The old keeper is going, meet the new one!
I tried yesterday but there is no way I can ride the MT-09 anymore. So it'll now be sold. Should things change I can of course always get another, but for now, there is no point in it sitting there costing money and returning nothing. I am so glad that, possibly the last bike I rode, was the MT. That really is going out on a high!

That sucks, hopefully your knee will improve and you can get another one at somepoint.

is the new knee not working properly TP? I thought you'd had the other one done - and that one didn't hold you back. It'll be the end of an era if you're not changing bikes like other people do socks!The plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'.
