An hours chilled evening ride around the local minor roads

That pic makes me want to move a wheel around to get the decals to match.

Decals, harsh.

They are most definitely paint


A wheel rebuild is on the cards ..... They'll be all one colour

I dunno,the two colours grow on me after a while,kinda goes with the KTM vibe.

Yesterday I rode a 500 km loop.
Starting just outside Crevillent, on to Almansa, then the N330 to Requena, some nice fast bents and then hairpins on the climb up to the top.

Then the narrow and very twisty CV395 to Los del Obispo (saw two cars on this whole section). Great scenery, but no where to stop to take a photo. Then onwards to Segorbe on the CV245 before heading south to Liria and Cheste.

Rode around the centre of Cheste a bit, as it was deserted. Every other time I have been there is the night before the Valencia MotoGP when it is rammed with bikes and pedestrians. So weird it being so quite.

Rode down the CV50 to Carlet then jumped onto the A7 motorway to home.

Only photo I got of the bike was of where we have parked in Cheste for the last few years before MotoGP. Bit pointless but there you go.

You could get away with that in the bike somewhere thread

Posted a a different photo from my ride out this morning

I had a little ride around North Yorkshire, taking in the "Yorkshire TT" Stokesley to Helmsley road. It's a nice road, fast and open in places, twisty, hilly with a lot of blind crests. Unfortunately attracts lots of tourists, police and nutters which is why I try to ride it early in the mornings

Run down to Moffat this morning. First real run out of the year.

I was going to come home via St Mary’s Loch but I wimped out and went M6 to Abington services then across to Edinburgh then A1.

Only did 160 miles but I was knackered. A combination of weight of the bike/rider/passenger and advancing age I suspect.

After way too long I finally have a supermoto again.

This was soo tempting.....

Away after 7am and back around 11am.

A beautiful sunny and dare I say it pleasantly warm morning. The roads were quiet a perfect day to waste fuel.

I stopped in Armoy and sat for a while in the Armada memorial garden. Peaceful and solitary.

First shot sat on the bike from the bridge over the river Bush.

Not having my bike at the moment is killing me with this weather

There'll be more days.

Commute home avoiding the traffic jams on the A27.

That's some commuter bike.

I got on my pub chugger and chugged to a pub, had a pint of shandy and chugged home.

Open face lid, I think I've sun burnt my nose!

Sorry, no pictures (of bike, pub or nose).

Is that one that is programmed to bring you home if your..er..balance is compromised?
