Excellent! Good work chap, just in time for the (hopefully) good weather. Take your time and enjoy your new bike!

Fantastic mate! It's a great feeling isn't it!

We should do another forum rideout too.
Maybe in June?

cruxiform · March 2017

Sounds good, I'll try my darnedest to get there this time

Me too - at least I have a bike this time around - was waiting for the beast to be delivered last time.

I'd like that, be good motivation to do a few much needed upgrades to the old SV.

I'm sure I could drag the missus along again.

You'd be more than welcome again mate.

Rideout sounds fun! I rode over to Cardiff from greewich on Friday eve... traffice until just past Reading was annoying as usual but I got some good filtering practice done!

Yesterday I took a nice 100-mile twisty ride around the Brecon Beacons with a friend and his Speed Triple; exactly what I needed to get used to the new bike, and a stunning part of the world to do it in. Heading back to London this afternoon, I need to get another 3/400 miles done on the bike in the next week or so to get it's first service done before I head away in Easter to France & Italy!

So I have my T'bird a good wash and brush up, fitted some new loud horns ready for another nice day

Made it back to London safe & sound, I can certainly see the appeal of faired bikes for motorway trips!

No idea why it works like this but not when you put the URL into the image dropdown....

Some fantastic biking roads around the Brecon Beacons for sure but that's a long old way on the motorway on a unfaired bike. I used to hate it on the Speed Triple. And the Superduke. And the CB1000R....!! Some lovely B roads between Brecon, Usk and Chepstow to drop down on to the old Severn bridge too.

Took the GS for its first proper spin of the year yesterday, such a fantastic way to travel

. New Dane jacket arrived today too, so looking forward to testing it out. First though I really just clean last year's mud off the bike...

It really is! Much less comfortable than I'd hoped... though mainly at silly speeds.

Here's my mate's Speed Triple and my new toy:

Howdy, Stranger!
