    HR phoned to say I'm wanted to go in if possible as they need parts made. So I'm taken my assensual transport to work
    Triumph UK were not going to freeze my warranty so I'll have to make sure it gets used. Don't know who is going to service it, I'll end up doing it I suppose.

    No idea what parts you’ll be making, but good for you. The economy will take years to recover and we all have a part to play. Even if it’s only buying a new bike (if only..). Luckily the new Bonnies are very straightforward to service, if you do need to do it yourself.

    There's a service tool which may help to check the system. It's called the Dealer Tool, anyone used one?

    I have that but could never load it onto my old (Windows 7) laptop. If you have a newer computer than that and want to give it a try you’re welcome to have it. I now use Tune ECU which does the same job via Bluetooth.

    I went into work today as I work for a company (foundry) that is making parts for the nightingale hospitals and also for the food industry. I also used 2 wheels(Street Twin) for the first time in a good few weeks. What a feeling . I may use it again tomorrow .

    I rode in today, was a happy moment to be able to use my bonny.
    Just fitted new tyres and sprocket so was gagging to remember how good the combination was.

    I have a 35 round trip every day and I've been enjoying the bike for this. Great weather for it and I really appreciated it for my own well-being in these strange times. It's just my CB500, nothing special but it's two wheels and 78mpg when petrol is 106p/liter. :)

    Watch out for drivers who think there's no one else out there, enough said.

    Agreed, but it'll still be good to ride on virtually empty roads:D
