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

[weeksy]

Clean you say?

[Yorick]

Had a few hours ride today. Can't remember last time I rode it. First hour was shite. Literally hundreds of wanker, arrogant cyclists. Blocking the narrow roads and causing huge tailback.
Once clear of them it was a nice ride. It's not the perfect bike for here, but not selling it. Might be a new bike thread soon

Taipan's shopping scooter?

I got out for a few hours on the SV650.The weather was nice earlier & all the recent rain had washed away the road salt



Had a catch up with my mate & his wife down at the local bike friendly pub.Drinking coffee when there's Plum Porter on tap
Still,it was worth it to get out on the bike.
It clouded up later & more rain's forecast this evening,but on the way home I stopped for a photo for the riding challenge thing,but someone's beat me to that.Still.it was a nice few hours out on the bike

Armchair in for 9.30 mot. New place and a great chap he is. Home for a oil change then took it for a spin. Road's covered in shit but nice to get out all the same.

Pic taken on Burway, Church Stretton with some wild animals.

Went out for a damp ride on the old shitter.

Usually hate the wet but the bike felt really good, got home and checked the tyre pressures, 25psi front, 10psi in the rear

Lots of rain the past couple of weeks,so all the salt was washed away and this morning was dry and bright,so I fired up the bike for a run. I should have kept to the main roads,but I didn't and the country roads were filthy,but it was too late by then,as the bike was now boggin'.

Good to get out,quite mild and some roads were decently dry and grippy.

I had to wash the bike when I got home,it's not often had water inflicted upon it and I think it may be in shock.

I only stopped for one pic and that's in the comp thread.

I took the Street Triple out for a spin to Merlin cycles near Chorley for some cycling stuff.
It's been the best day for riding a bike that we've had in a while,very windy,loose gravel & mud on the road but the sun was shining
I even took a couple of photo's for the riding challenge post but was beaten to it,maybe next time,maybe not



I even took one with a telephone box & post box in the same image..



The forecast's not looking good for the next few days so I think I'll get on with stripping down the XT600.

First time out with Avon Roadriders on the Tenere, felt pretty much the same as the Trailriders I’ve had on for the last few years, bet they don’t last as long though.

[Bustaspoke]

It was cloudy & chilly this morning so I did 60 km on the pushbike,but in the afternoon the sun shone,lovely early Spring day so I've been out on the Street Triple :thumbup.The roads were full of loose gravel & dried mud,but it was the first time in a couple of weeks that I've been on a motorbike & I enjoyed it
It was going well until I rolled to a stop at a junction near home & realised the gritter's had been out .Only one thing for it,go for a ride down some more country lanes & hope any grit that's on the bike gets flung off before things start to corrode



Last week in broad daylight whilst cycling,a deer jumped in front of me about 20 metres from where I took this photo,no such surprises today

[ZRX61]

I'm starting to see a pattern...

[ChrisW]

Beautiful morning and I had to nip out on an errand so I took the bike. It was frosty first thing but the roads were clean & it felt a lot warmer than the 6 degrees on the dash, so I stayed out for an hour or so.

Took a photo for the riding challenge but it was impossible to get the crossroad sign in shot and, looking at the photo now, it hardly even looks like a crossroad...never mind

[Skub]

I'd have stuck it in the challenge thread anyway. I don't think anyone is too strict now!

Ah, but it was only set yesterday & It'll give me another excuse maybe later on in the week.

Seems the Herts gritters have been out again last night So that's another write off of a week.

As soon as the met folk say the F word,thyen that's the trigger for salt,even if it's not a problem on a dry road.

It was a bit nippy first thing, but it has been a beaut of a day.

[Skub]

8°c when I was out today. Blowing a gale too,but dry.

I thought the bike had grown another 20bhp and an invisible fairing,but that notion evaporated when the tail wind became a head wind.
