Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I nipped out on the SV for some petrol as it looks like we're going for a ride on Boxing day.I ended up doing a 46 mile ride very windswept but it's mild for winter
The roads are full of mud & debris,if it gets much worse I might fit some semi-nobblies

Rode East to the coast to Santa Pola, then south to Guardamar for a beer, then back north to La Marina.
From there, westwards to Elche, Crevillente, then up towards Novelda, west to Hondon, through La Romana, Alguena, then south to the other Hondon, onto Albatera and then home. Think this will only make sense to a couple on here.
160kms in beautiful riding weather and on empty roads.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Had a Boxing day meetup with my mate's,as ever I was on the SV650,here's some of the more unusual stuff that was there.
A couple of Velocette flat twins
Classic Eastern block two stroke
Handchange AJS
Panther
Group of thumpers
I had one of these in my teens,however mine was aircooled
Good to get out on the bikes for a couple of hours with my mates & home before the rain started (again)

As regards the velo twins, the red one os as factory, the blue one is a Valint with an LE motor ( much more available) and hence a LeVal. Nice to see them in use.

Dry and not too cold,but windy and lots of lakes on the road after all the rain. I didn't go far,but it was cool to swop a few cogs for a while.

And rather unsurprisingly, clean bill of health for another year!
Have to be well legal en France with the introduction of bike CTs in April.
I'm looking at you Smixx!

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
I'm surprised that's going ahead, but sort of pleased!
I can't get the paperwork to register the Monster, so not totally sure what I'm gonna do for now. Although it might be easier with a CT - if I can say it's legal for a CT, then it might be easier to get Ducati to help get the CoC!!

A while back I posted about the 2-Squeek show that was hosted at a mates factory where he keeps his bike collection. Here's a video of the show & collection:

Had a enjoyable few hours out with my mates earlier,once again I was on the SV650,mates were on a GS & Hyabusa,once again it was raining..
Lathom Hall layby,they had a big battle at Lathom Hall in the civil war & there's a plaque here commemorating what went on in WW1,330,000 horses went through here on the way to France.Lots of history in West Lancs.
We visited the local bike shop,then onto the local water sports centre for a brew,sheltering from the rain & plans for this years holiday.
On the way back we spotted one of those new speed cameras Happy to say my rain gear held up to the moisture

I used to cycle up and down that road when I was a kid! Had friends who lived on the lane right opposite the lay-by that leads to the golf club.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Took the little one for a test ride after a tumble last time out caused the left fork seal to start leaking.All sorted now after dropping forks and realigning.
It’s running peachy now the colder weather is here.

I gave the SV a mid winter clean earlier & took it for a spin to dry everything out
As usual I ended up going further than planned,got to make the most of decent riding weather

It's been settled and dry here,but the gritters are out each night,so it's game off for me.Bustaspoke wrote: ↑Thu Jan 11, 2024 5:04 pm I gave the SV a mid winter clean earlier & took it for a spin to dry everything out
