I didn’t to be honest, but I will do so this weekend time allowing!

Took the bike out recently for a little spin round the block for the first time since its arrival home from Inverness, just as a post challenge shakedown and I must day it was good to be back on it to be fair - Its a very fun bike to ride still and I had a few laughs trying to push in around the rou...

Just booked my S1000RR In for its annual service for the stamp - Its only done 4440 Miles.

Engine Oil, Filter and brake fluid.

I'm providing the engine oil and brake fluid, they are providing the oil filter and labour.

£220

That's scrubbed up quite nicely. Well done with the fund raising too. It would be quite excellent if it managed 3 in a row. :thumbup: Definitely, would be great to see the rolling total and how many times it could make it.... I am hoping to do it again maybe 2026 so I could buy it back again :lol:

Afternoon! Hope you are all good :) The ZZR is now home and safe, and I am now working out what to do with her..... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53875662616_23cedff1db_z.jpg After being dropped off and languishing in the the garage for a couple of weeks I thought this weekend was the best opp...

Thanks for all of the kind words, its greatly appreciated!

The ZZR Has made it as far south as Aberdeen - Taking a nice relaxing wander back home

well done that chap. Of course now it's over I thought of some advice that would have helped riding in the pissing rain, moot point now though & not sure if it was previously mentioned: Marigolds under your gloves. Doesn't matter how wet the gloves get, your hands remain dry. This would have he...

A cool adventure and a very tidy sum raised. Well done man. 8-) Thanks Skub, You know I was just speaking to Karl just now and I was saying that I’ve been riding for 28 Years and that’s the one and only like ‘proper’ adventure I’ve had on a bike - Like a proper one where anything could happen (and ...

Well done for making it the full distance! I have to say : having a ferry on the route seems a bit odd, but I guess there's only so many routes up past Loch Ness, so it's a compromise either way. Thankyou, Thankyou, Thankyou :clap: :obscene-drinkingcheers: Yes - It is to be fair but I think it is a...

Afternoon Everyone, Hope all is well :) Still time to donate if you can and have anything to spare! https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/mikes-longest-day-challenge-2024 So..... Me and the ZZR Made it.... Just about :banana-dance: Here is the detail, the feelings and also the photos for you i...

Happy to say that I finished! Albeit outside of the 24hr target due to what was a quite eventful Dunoon - Inverness section.

I’ll post a full update with plenty of pics this week

Also can’t believe how stupid I sound on that video, I was a little frazzled and couldn’t get my words out

Thanks, much appreciated! Been difficult keeping it all together but happy knowing it’s nothing serious and he’s on the mend. Just need to try and focus on the task from tomorrow morning now

Evening! One more update for you all before I (Hopefully) set out on Wednesday morning for Lands End. The bike is ready (As it will ever be)..... But as always in my life, run ups to major events never go very smoothly :hmmm: If there are any pounds you can spare..... I can help you put it towards a...

Hi All, Hope you have had a nice weekend :king: Only ten days to go now before challenge day - Anything you can spare would be so very much appreciated! https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/mikes-longest-day-challenge-2024 So the plan was tomorrow to get another 500 Miles under my belt before...

Morning :) Another update for you on Project ZZR, with the challenge now less than 4 Weeks away we are firmly into final preparations territory - I am looking forward to the challenge.... But with a fair amount of trepidation creeping in as well :wtf: This is going to be the longest ride I have ever...

Evening! If you have any money burning a hole in your pocket - Please can I take it off you in aid of a very good cause? :wave: https://fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/mikes-longest-day-challenge-2024 So Tuesday was the day of the first real test for the ZZR, The plan was to hit as close as I co...

Evening All! Hope you are well and have enjoyed this lovely sunny weekend - Is summer here finally? :shifty: Usual pre-update linky below - If you have any spare cash at all, I can put it to some great use for you my referring you to my donation page below supporting Cancer Research UK: https://fund...

if the clutch is heavy and slipping could it be the cable binding? Mine isn't heavy and never slips. If the cable is binding maybe its never releasing properly I've not actually disconnected the cable to check in all honesty, Ive not been out to the bike since I parked it up and crawled off of it o...

Good Afternoon All Hope you have all had a nice, sunny bank holiday weekend!

I did indeed!

Weeksy was kind enough to email me a Hi-Res logo and I managed to persuade the guy who did my other stickers to print me a few off on his digital press
