There's only one way you get that colour.

Hmmm well its not this:



I didn't think he was taking

Out near the Welsh border on the way back from Chester earlier on.

The roads were amazingly quiet today,despite me being out later than usual. Was great.

Shot taken on the course of the now extinct Mid Antrim 100,one of my fav road races. I can still imagine I see Joey coming around the left where the cone are in the pic,on his 500 twin GP stroker,then it wheelying over the humps down the road.

Some fine memories of good times here before mates started being dead and stuff.

Jacket liner in or out today?

Out.

A different set of problems today,my leather jacket bugs the shit out of my rashed elbow,so I had to come home and try the textiles. Was good for a couple of hours before I started with the one handed thing again.

I planned a ride to Hartside, but the road through Teesdale was closed due to road works. The diversion took me over the tops of the moors and I discovered a new road that I'm going to have to become more familiar with



For all you southerners, the green stuff in the background is grass and trees - they're supposed to be that colour

Out and back before 11:00 today.

Took a trip over Burton Dasset Hills a little country park near where Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire meet.

At 08:45 this morning it was nice and quite so great for taking a few shots of just the bike and the landscape.

Shame someone parked a bike in the middle of those landscape shots

Proper calender shots them.

Spent a pleasant couple of hours on the SV650 earlier.I fitted a new YSS rear shock the other week & I'm still messing around with suspension settings,blatting around the 'B' roads & single track lanes in a lazy V twin stylee,places where my Street Triple's performance & handling would be wasted.
I go to the Isle of Man next week,booked on the ferry with the Street Triple,but I might take the SV instead.

Went for an early morning ride on some local byways before the bobble hats emerge, surprising how lush and overgrown some of them are. After having bigger 4 strokes for greenlaning the tiny kdx is ridiculously easy going, I changed the rear sprocket from a 49 down to a 44 to keep the front wheel on the ground and make it a bit less frantic on tarmac between lanes.

3 Hour round trip with the wife in tow on her metric.
Popped over the border to Chepstow for a slightly naff Nashville day

Took a break from early morning riding to chill and watch the boats for a while. Lazy Sunday.

Went out with the eldest on his shiny Zx636 for a couple of hours on the Norfolk Coast roads. Lots of traffic and cyclists everywhere so a bit limited on fun till i managed to find some quieter roads. The boy is coming on well and improving as well as getting more confident in his riding but he prefers me to lead as he is self conscious about thinking he is being "assessed" if i am behind him. Suits me as he rides to his own pace and doent push to keep up if i decide to have a play

He hates having a phot taken about as much as i do so sneaky shot as we got ready to set off

T'other weekend but the last time I rode this one .. Somewhere up on the Staffordshire Moorland

Leaving the hospital the other day and my friend took a couple of photos!! LOL

Grenoble Hôpital Sud, Echirolles






It really is the smallest bike I've ever ridden!!

It's got to be bigger than the 390!

It isn't!! Not sure why not I couldn't get both feet flat on the floor on the 390, but on this they are flat and my knees are bent

If this is what you raced, HTF did you do that? Where did you put your knees?!!! LOL
