I'd love too, but have had my head in a study guide all day and looks like tomorrow will be the same

Go on mate, you can take a spell at lunch time..

Quite liked it. Definately suites my style of riding. Ticked a whole lot of boxes as it where. Seat/peg/ handle bar position was spot on. Gets up to 160kph ok . Closed private road and under supervision of course. So quick enough for open road passing.

Quite Bonnie-esque too Bonez

good plan!!.. go with the.. I frikken hope so...................

Wow!

Nice wee 400 km poodle today. Bumped into some characters at the Ashhurst Inn. They just let anyone in that place..............

Quick quiz- Who eats all the sticky buns?

Awesome! Can't wait to get into some serious gravel. Assignments and racing taking up a bit of time atm, but 900kms so far on the DR and already seen some great new sights. 1st service next week and then its gravel time!

Yeah, it's good fun alright. Can get a bit freaky when there's 220kg of bike moving around under you - more often than not a few more herbs gets ya out of trouble. Rear tyre is pretty good but think I need to look at changing the front soon - fairly worn.

Don't follow too closely - looking at the tyre tracks behind me, she chucks the gravel around a fair bit...

Can't wait to get her on a decent gravel road - one with not quite so deep gravel or with some decent wheel tracks (yes, I'm a wuss).

Hmmm weekend rides...........luxury.

Nah, cleaning chain lube with kero is a PITA. I use Prolan for lube and the fresh stuff cleans off the old stuff. Much easier and cheaper!

You know you're bored when you're freeing up every individual chain roller
