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

Quite a bit of standing water and lots of debris on the roads mind...

Yea, same up here. A quick blast yesterday to test out my new jacket (AS Andes V3). Lovely day out, roads not too busy, but lots of crap on the roads that has been dragged off the hills. Hoping we still have some good days left before the gritting starts.

We had a run over the Trough of Bowland earlier.There was plenty of debris on the roads,but only a couple were closed.
We were up here at the Jubilee tower a fortnight ago & it was covered in thick fog.Today we got there early afternoon & the fog was burning off .






I'm thinking of putting the Street Triple on a SORN & claiming the tax back next week.It'll motivate me to get the sparkless XT600 sparking & back on the road

Was also new jacket day for me on Sunday too, ironically! Deviated from Alpinestars this time, bought a Dainese Racing 3 D-Dry jacket... Very nice it is too!

Another day stolen back from the grey of Winter. Seems like a win.

[Bustaspoke]

I managed to get out for a spin & appreciate the last rays of sun..



Tractor boys have been busy this week,the roads are covered in peaty mud



Farewell BST 2023
Time to book some ferry's for next year

My bike needs a wash but I'm holding out for 1 last ride...its not looking good!

I refuse to pay for vehicle tax for bikes over winter on the off chance that there might be one or two mild, salt-free days on which I can use them. Fortunately I don't have to - if a unicorn day over winter does materialise I just wheel the (historic vehicle) LC out and bimble about on that...

@Skub knows how it works...

Troo dat,though I used to do the sorn thing every year,but now I'm a lazy twunt and cba with sorns and remembering stuff,so I just tax the Zed for the year and forgetaboutit.

Not having to arrange MOT and tax for the H1 is quite a liberating experience,one less thing to faff over.

[Bustaspoke]

I'm putting the Street Triple on a SORN starting today,it's filled up with E5 & all shiney & polished ready for spring.
The SV650 & XT600 (if I can get it running) will do for the winter months,sadly the XT600 is not tax or MOT exempt for another couple of years

Still need to tax it, just don't heve to pay anything

Will SORN my Triumph in the next couple of days. It's rained so much in the past week or so I might swap it for a boat.

I'll not object too much about a few clicks of a mouse.

Has sir considered a jetski?

A jetski? You can get your house rewired twice for the cost of one of those.

Out to Alcalá de Jucar in Spain today, rode the Jucar valley.

Ridden just over 3,000 kms in the last three weeks

No worries with Sorn'ing anything here for winter, as no salt is used on the roads ....

Rode down some country lanes to see what the aux lights are like. The photo doesn’t really go them justice! Didnt know that house in the distance was there, but I bet they know I was! They are brilliant lights in every sense of the word!

And when something comes the other way and you turn them off, it plunges the road ahead into darkness.

I learned that the hard way years ago.

Turn them off? Off? You'll be expecting BMW car drivers to dip their headlights next!

Years ago I fitted one of the new (then) LED bulbs into a bike. Incredible bright light but no beam pattern to it just flood lit everything. I had to tilt the headlight down to stop blinding oncoming traffic but what that did was made your eyes adjust to the immediate light in front of you, but made everything beyond that total blackness, so it was actually self defeating and totally useless as a headlight!

Mine comes with a mahoosive LED light bar as standard, I've not ridden in the dark to see if it's any good or not
