I've just been out for a bimble after changing the fork oil yesterday,no drama's everything good.Last week the front felt like it was 'pattering at the beginining of the stroke' on the small deformations to the road surface,now it feels smooth.I haven't checked the sag with the new oil,but going off todays ride it's a improvement.That's a win in my book :thumbup:

The tractor boys are busy at the momment,all their toys are getting used & those combines take up all the road,extra caution required.

Is that looking north to the North Downs or south to the Sarf Dahns?

I really like those sorts of mornings. :thumbup:

Early away today,as the rain returns for the weekend.

I finally managed to hit the 20k mark. If it hadn't been pissing from the middle of June it would have been a lot earlier.

After fitting the Top Yoke conversion to the SV650 I made some minor adjustments to the ergonomics & went out for a spin.I think this angle shows the conversion best

Lovely evening out there but in places the sky is going dark,the farmers are burning the stubble & it's proper breezy,looks like something from a 'slash & burn' news reel in places :shock:.
As people might have guessed,I really enjoy this bike,been a bit of a revelation & this bar conversion makes me like it even more :thumbup:

Nice ride out today to clear my weary head. Dodged a couple of showers, but overall a pretty nice day to be out. I parked up in Matlock Bath and had a wander about. Place was crammed with bikes.

Hit some of my favourite roads not far from home, 120 miles all in.

Been out today for some fun in between a couple of days instructing for upcoming tests.

As @Bustaspoke sais the farmers have been working overtime to shift the crops around here. Combines and tractors towing grain trailers into the darkness.

In the background is one of the smaller combines working nearby
