I didn't do much biking in 2021! But this was a sunny one. Met up with my friend and her MT07

Was really looking forward to spring. Figured I could start riding in April. Turns out it's more like mid June or July :( :( So I'm a bit miffed

Started 2021 with a new bike in March.

There was a bit of fiddling and mods.

And a good few rides.

Was gutted by the fact that although the weather was nice last weekend I was busy. It had better change soon or I'm going to end up buying a new bike due to watching too many reviews instead of going out to play.

With me,this weekend is to be dry and more settled,the risk remains,if the temperature drops at night they salt the roads again and it's still game off.

It would have been instead of, but it's not looking likely now. I was just getting a little nostalgic after posting the picture of the 690. But, the reality, or nervousness, of KTM ownership came home to roost. As much as I love them, ownership has never been a good experience for me, so the mighty MT stays! :thumbup
