I finalised my insurance this morning so that is one thing off my mind. Tomorrow I will be taking the time to replace my rear light (again) after the current one developed a fault with the left indicator. The bike will fails its MOT, which is a UK road worthy test for all my non UK readers, unless I get it fixed, which also segues nicely into an issue with my rear tyre. This is what happens when you take a powerful bike with a nice soft grippy tyre to a race track and have some fun.
As you can see there is practically no tread on the right side, so this needs to go as well. So, I popped into see the boys at Metropolis again to order one up. As a result of this visit my range of Ducati clothing has been increased by one as Mike gave me a really nice black Ducati branded polo shirt as a thank you for my continued loyalty, which I was very touched by. He also offered me a test ride on the new Hypermotard that has just joined his demo fleet. I almost couldn't believe the words I was hearing from my own mouth, but I turned it down as I was shattered after the week at work. It was also a bit cold and a bit close to Friday rush hour to really enjoy the bike, but I will take it out in the near future and get my opinions up on the site. I will say one thing, it does look great.
Speaking of great looking bikes, the rest of the fleet at Metropolis is growing nicely, with the latest additions including the Diesel Monster, which although I wasn't knocked over by the press stuff, looks really good up close. Shame it carries a premium over the standard Monster. Finally and speaking of Monsters again, I just finished S4 of the Sons of Anarchy and in one of the later episodes Jax gets on a Monster 1100. You can imagine how I felt when I heard them overlay the sound of an inline four over it. Despite this terrible decision by the production team, I enjoyed this season and have written something up for the Motorcycle Media page. Take care, see you soon
