Went out for a play on the Ducati yesterday and you would be forgiven for thinking spring had sprung wearing just leathers and even ended up down a farm track at some point



Rode in to work today and it was just above zero when i left the house at 0715, full textile kit, heated grips on and the road surface covered in salt .....FFS

Same here,but it's raining now,so at least the roads will get a wash.

Not like you to post up a rape pic.

A cold early morning run today. The roads were a mix of good and dry and damp under trees. Quite like an Autumn run!

The vanishing lake with some water for once.

Usually looks like this.



But today,like this.

Went out with 2 of my enduro pals

Been there a few years ago now. Not so many statues to his psycho sidekick Paddy Blair Mayne!

Found an MOT station less than 3 miles from the house - I call that a win.

It's a characterful looking thang,the Rockster. Those Patrick Moore eyes have grown on me over the years.

Midweek day off from work & the suns shining
I took the SV for a spin around the back roads



The road surface was interesting in places,but no ice or road salt this week

No pictures - will take some later. But took the 95 speed triple out for its MOT yesterday morning. A little stubborn to start after all the body work coming off and then going back on, and being stood all winter. But got the MOT - and went out for a quick 30 miles.
It maybe an old barge but it’s a wonderful thing to ride - as an old codger

They were just doing checks so stopping all bikes that were out. He wasn’t really having a right in depth look, I had said “I’m taking a pic” and he was like “wait and I’ll het down like I’m having a proper look”………

Had a great day out with the lads. When we arrived at the masssive sand pit, we decided that Hippy was gonna go down the huge vertical drop.
Lots of chin stroking then we sent the mad Hippy down.
Failed first time but had another go
