Lovely run into work this morning with the mist settling just around the level of the tree line around the fields

Did my last Tuesday evening bike club run of the year I think.

The low sun at the start is such you can’t see a damn thing and it’s getting dark by half seven so it’s just not worth it anymore.

Which is a shame as they are fun.

Saturday afternoon bimble with 2 pubs.












Really enjoying the RE. B road bimbling at it's best.
50/60 ish , taking the corners as quick as the straights, that's where the fun is.

Out to Ellesmere by the lake, Cross foxes at Overton by the river and my favourite, the Shroppie fly at Audlem by the canal.

On way home doing 60, thought I'd give it full twist lots more there, I reckon it's good for 80, I do worry about explosions though.

Local hero.

Portsoy.

A couple of hours out with the old classic boyos. Brill weather for October.

That blue '75 Z1-B is my favorite Kaw paint scheme for a 4 banger, ditto the purple '75 H2-C... The '99 ZRX11 isn't too shabby either... I notice he turned the rear plate bracket the right way up. The amount of us who striped/polished the edges of the wheels makes me wonder why the hell Kawasaki didn't do that in the first place. They sure as hell did it on a lot of other models for decades (started with the '76 KZ000 LTD iirc).

The GS1000 is far too shiny

'Tis ten times cleaner than mine in 1980. It happens all the classics,they become polished jewels,which not many of them were in their heyday. I don't recall any glittering Kawa triples back then,they were just oily stinkwheels.

This afternoon- what was planned to be " I'll be an hour max" to test out my new home-made clutch cable (more to follow on that in the projects thread when I get around to it ) ended up as well over 2 hours and 110 miles - this bike is made for roads like these
