Nothing like fresh fish!!!
Great to be out on the water and skulling beers in the sun![]()

Under the seat? Oh, is that a custom chair too? Nice chair
Yeah, I don't like that the 40-something Holden driving dept tend to treat it as a bit of a racetrack in a kind of "doesn't matter if I go a bit wide here, does it?" fashion. It's pretty mossy at the moment too - but still a great road when dry, eh?I was thinking of a ride over Piecock, but there were so many cages out and about also that I didn't fancy meeting a road hog around there!
Cleaning. Heh, yes. Not as bad as you might've thought - there's not actually all that much white on it, and the bits of white are large slabs of it ... the tank, front mudguard and some curious almost fairing but not quite bits that stick out at the side of the seat. However, the wash mitt thing I has is prone to shitting little tiny bits of oil. Not a problem on a black bike but white ... different story. Still, today's discovery is a little bit of "Australian Degreaser" squirted onto a cloth. Unbelievably good for little dots of oil and also very very good for cleaning wheels.How's that lovely new bike of yours going? Are you finding the white ok to keep clean? Pics please!!!!
I *need* to score a tank pad though.
Going? Wonderfully. Nice Mr Triumph says I can now use 6k RPM and not just five and this gives me a nice comfortable riding range for 95% of needs - it's just that I've not been good enough for the nice thrashy bit at the top. Given the current state of the roads I can't say it's all that much of a problem.
The ride is awesome. It's much easier to ride than the speed 4 was (itself seemingly a piece of piss, once set up properly) and I've started only realising exactly how fast I'm honking along when I go to change up a gear and find it not there. Happened about half a dozen times today. I've started being a bit more adventurous in corners too - it loves it when you stick your arse over the edge a bit. Wonderful bike
There's a pic in my profile. I'll take some more some time when the weather's nice and I'm feeling particularly vain.

Great day for a ride - first time Ive been out for weeks without my wet weather gear (well, wore the jacket for its warmth) legs got a bit cool but nice to be out. Bikes galore everywhere down here too - I reckon anyone who owned a motorbike this morning must have had their eyes light up when they pulled the curtains this morning and saw sunshine and blue skies... all other plans would have been tossed out the window - I know mine were

DuuuuuCaaaaaaTiiiiiiiiiiii
Was nice to be out. As mentioned there were '00's of bikes out there. - You could see that some were rusty and probally hadnt been riding much over the last month.
Grabbed a beer at the pub top of SW16 and in the period it takes to drop a beer on a nice sunny day watched 4 cops come up, turn around and head back again. Where is the trust? Made sure to observe the 70km and 50km zones to the letter just incase 5 0 was parking up.
Got about 500km under the seat - enjoyed the riding with the sun on my back heading home.
Some days biking makes you feel so bloody good.![]()
