What is the IAM ?

 

A pregnancy test ?

It stands for never being in the wrong.

That existential thing, where there is no such thing as Truth, just human interpretation of the world about and how things should be.

Well done wifey of mine! Very proud of you. I also passed my IAM test on a Friday, although I didn't get the F1RST grading like you did. You didn't mention that it was only the third time the examiner (a police motorcycle instructor) has given out a F1RST grade in ten years of doing IAM tests. Impressive stuff and well deserved.

Stripped, cleaned and greased the 900's shock relay arm bearings..... Last done in January so a very simple 30 minute job today.

 

Had hoped to get the bike over 100,000 miles this year but still 3000 miles short of that.....just not had the time.....maybe i should do more riding and less talking about it !

I suppose the answer to that is "get on your bike, mate"

And as i was out while you wrote that.....i wonder,  did you not get out today ? ;)

 

Anyway it's worse than i thought. 100 miles today and not even at 97k yet.... the back tyre is almost dead don't  know if it's worth changing right now given the imminent roadworthyness of the mk2

Wrong Ali. That was BSM (Kelpie's other half), although I did pass my IAM a few years back.
