Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Today, into London again. Getting back into the filtering LAC on the M25 and M4. Washed last year's ACF50 off at the weekend, put her on paddock stands and gave her a 'half weeksy' as I call it. MOT passed again with no advisories end of last month. Seriously enjoying riding again, might do a weekend camping in Wales this summer if anyone fancies talking bollocks round the fire at Fforest Ffields.

Away at 7am and back around lunchtime. Tis a beautiful day for empty roads.

Pausing for a moment at The Shepherd & Dog, Fulking on the way back from picking up my bike. Wot-a-palaver. I love it to bits! It's not the bikes fault it's made by Triumph.
Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
More of the same for me, discovering a few new roads and villages making the most of the great weather.
Out early and back by lunch, it was warm today, OK on the move but that exhaust is noticeable in this heat when stopped at lights etc.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Was looking forward to a nice ride out to Oxfordshire for the Cassington Bike Night this lunchtime... got the mile to the petrol station, turned in and thought... this doesn't feel right... front tyre looking squidgy and obviously well down on pressure.
Didn't bother to stop, but rode through the forecourt and straight back home again. Tyre flat by the time I got home.
I have gone over it and can't see anything that would cause a puncture so perhaps it's the valve with a bit of grit under it. I've pumped it up, and will see how it looks in the morning. But somehow, it wasn't worth stopping for a photo.

I had the same destination planned but only made it as far as the end of my street. .The Spin Doctor wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 5:32 pm Was looking forward to a nice ride out to Oxfordshire for the Cassington Bike Night this lunchtime... got the mile to the petrol station, turned in and thought... this doesn't feel right... front tyre looking squidgy and obviously well down on pressure.

I can't imagine what a rusty crap heap this 24yo/122,520 mile ZRX11 would look like by now in the UK

Rode up to Alguena this morning for the racing through the village streets.
Two classes of 80cc GP bikes, one of 80cc Classics. (I miss watching two strokes race) and one class of Supermotos.
€10 to get in, glossy program, a hat and some great racing.
