It's election day here in the UK and what better way to get to the Polling Station than on two wheels? It works a few ways in my favour really. Firstly, parking isn't an issue as I just park up nice and close and wander in. Secondly, as I'm decked out head to foot in biker kit, I don't get asked any stupid questions by representatives standing outside the Polling Station and third, I got to have a nice conversation with a fellow voter about RR5 Fireblades and old Triumphs on the way out. Great start to the day. Politics may divide us, but bikes will always bring us back together.
In other news the Ducati gets a change of shoes tomorrow. At her MOT several weeks back, I had an advisory that the front was reaching the legal wear limit. The annoying thing was, the rear was fine. With this knowledge between my ears, I've spent these last few weeks caning the Ducati through my favourite local routes trying to kill off the rear Rosso Corsa 2 tyre. I nearly got there too, but now the front is just too low, so I couldn't wait.
Already a fan of the Rosso 3 tyre which have been on the FireBlade since they came out, the Ducati will be getting the same treatment. With new tyres on, I'm quite tempted to get a tyre pen and fill out the Pirelli logo. We shall see.
