Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
The Starbog Road,near Kilwaughter. It and other connecting roads meander inland roughly in the same direction as the Antrim coast road,so if the coast is busy it's a pleasant option. Poorly surfaced and bumpy in places,so it's not one for chasing the speedo numbers.Wossname wrote: Wed Apr 30, 2025 9:24 pm Where’s that exactly?
PS: I’ll be up at Benone for 10 days from Sunday (NW200), so if you fancy a run….pm me?
Will do,though you may have timed it well for the good weather to end.

His goes and stops well,due to loads of mods. Brembo brakes and all kinds of frame jiggery pokery. Heavy as,though.

Nothing exciting. Just 20 miles down the A1 to finish getting the old bus prepped for the MOT. When done next job is painting it white and soring out new limo tint.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
The old bikes took a trip on the country roads up to Slemish,then down to the usual spot at Carnlough. I was glad of my heated gear,it was dry and sunny,but a pretty sharp n/e wind.

Those end cans look terrible.
Back in the day the 900 Thruxton was pretty nice, but the newer 1200 R makes it look like something from Temu.
