When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?

It's got to be bigger than the 390!

It isn't!! Not sure why not I couldn't get both feet flat on the floor on the 390, but on this they are flat and my knees are bent

If this is what you raced, HTF did you do that? Where did you put your knees?!!! LOL

The Monster 600/620 is pretty tiny but that was one of the things I loved about it... it didn't feel like you were trying to manoeuvre a truck.

It's proper weird for me. I've only ever ridden huge bikes and the 390.

Oh, and one session on a GSXR600 at Oulton where I nearly flipped it cos I had only ridden Blackbirds up till then and literally 'threw' it into the first corner

Probably a good thing I'm on a go slow and relearning to ride or I'd be seriously hurling this dinky toy all over the place

Popped out for a quick 130 miles with a toastie in the middle

Parking hog.

Oh wait....

[Noggin]

I thought I'd timed it right this morning, getting to my favourite shop in Bourg St Maurice (Cornish Pasty shop in France ) early enough so all was dry and the forecast suggested that I'd be leaving before the rain!! LOL

Then it hurled it down whilst I was there






Luckily the rain had pretty much stopped as I left to come back home and the roads were drying. Then, I rode into a monsoon Well, I think a cloud caught me and overtook me Luckily it stopped by the time I got to the road up my mountain, and the last 7 hairpins were quite dry and fun The right hand ones before then were a bit dodgy - big rainbows of diesel

Anyway, the bike didn't suffer from Ducati-itis, I didn't fall off it/cause it to slip over and got home safely in a smidge damp!!

Just been for a short spin testing out the luggage set up,minor adjustments adjusted
It's only a 15 mile trip to Pier Head for the Isle of Man boat,but it doesn't sail until 04.00
Time for a lie down..

The beemer will be a handful around there,I bet.

It’s horrendous, struggling out of Clark’s round Hislops and even out the hairpin up the start finish, it’s like shagging your missus from behind, leaning down to her ear and whispering “your sisters a better ride than you”………..bucking bronco

Even though I've vowed I'll never own another heavy bike,the big ZZR still turns my head that direction. Great bike.

I left a bit later than my usual,but the back roads were quiet and it was a bit warmer,so a nice few hours wasting fuel.

doesnt feel like a big lardy bike this 17 plate one feels lightyears away from the 06 it replaced very nimble when moving too handles and goes like stink Scub you'd love it.

Quiet now,I'm a reformed speed addict.

For a sunny Bank Holiday Sunday the roads were quiet this morning, not that I’m complaining.

Even when I stopped for a coffee at Koti Autotali in Chipping Campden it was not as busy as I expected.

Does that no burn your right leg in shorts?

Needs a heel and toe gear change too so it doesn't hurt his tootsie pegs when he changes gear wearing flip flops.

Yes, not sure what to do about it, or the fact my butt gets sweaty with the new pleather seat cover when wearing a thong.
