Today. A really pleasant commute including the coast road south of Anglesey.

Excellent. Weather next week looks positive too.  :moto:

2000 miles since June.  :cool:
Significantly faster than you.....

Alzo

A weekends riding in Southern Ireland...immense...650 miles :moto:  :moto:

Lord Danoir the first

3 spluttering laps of Oulton to give my 7r a shakedown before packing it off to Cartagena...... hopefully just poorly set up carbs, so it's being dyno set up this week.

Sunday. Cheeky day out on the lanes.

Found a new "challenging" route linked to an old favourite.

Also rode the trail along the beach at West Bexington which was nice up until the bit where it merged with the shingle and became an exercise in just revving the nuts off it and trying to keep some momentum. Don't think the anglers were too impressed.

Col De Ratas, Altea and a spin around the Bernia Pass. Not too shabby.

Today. To work. And it rained.

Great fun. I don't know what's wrong with me.

At the weekend...Fort William base...Ullapool/Gairloch loop on Saturday...340+ miles on stunning roads and scenery.

Saturday for an hour, for a quick test on the Maxton modified forks on the SX. Front end is planted. Waiting for the shock to be returned as there was a small issue with that.
Just as the weather has turned too.  :rolleyes:

managed a nice 250 miles around north yorkshire,lancashire,cumbria & northumberland on the 10'th October, killed off the rear tyre on the VFR :evil:  :evil: , so it's packed up until next year now  :(
good day out & an added bonus to have bumped in to tucker,chuggy, graeme & steve at the nook café near Alston, nice to have a catch up with them  :cheesy:

GSXR is still good to go, but i think the weather is against us now, so i reckon the season is pretty much done for me
been a great season, looking forward to next year and euro trip with on the VFR along some of the guys off here and a couple of other mates    :grin:  :grin:

managed 3250 miles on the VFR since the end of May, so not to shabby a time on that and done around 2k on the GXR

Nice one. You're liking the Viffer.
Done just over 5k on the SX since July.
About 500 on the BGB all year, and a big fat Zero on the 6.
Must try harder.
Where you heading on your travels ?

Yesterday. Had a wee blast to Gala. New Maxton shock fitted to SX.  Damp roads in parts but the feel from the suspension is awesome. 
Then took the ZRX out for an hour. Had rebuilt the rear wheel. New bearings and cush drive. Nothing fell off so all good.
