My ride home tonight

[Alpinestarhero]

So today was warm in london (a balmy 11 deg.C), so I was really up for a good ride home tonight.

And you know what

I had an absolutle blast :cheers: Bike was all cleaned and lubed up yesterday, and feels brilliant, fromt brakes were rebuilt a couple of weeks back, and feel brilliant, no handlebar muffs on today, so the twist grip was light and brilliant (normaly a bit heavy with the muffs on, because of the heated grip cable)

Some days...well, most days in the past couple of months, have just been about getting home. Dosnt matter how long it takes, just get home. Tonight was....get home, and have a cracking good time doing it

I love my Suzuki SV650s-x.

That is all :takeabow:

Glad you enjoyed it. Can't wait for a bit of warmer weather.

we need to look out for the summer r1's now trying to prove a point.:rolleyes:

[yorkie_chris]

Hehe same here. Bit of psychology going on... "I haz dark visor hence it must be summer... honest!"

Muahaha pedestrians are so funny when they're scared.

LOL summer R1's. I got an insurance quote on an R1 yesterday (online though) and it was the wrong side of £1000 :( I would really like one...long intervals between valve clearance checks (22,000 miles I believe). And ruddy fast.

Tomorrow is set ot be even warmer (12 deg.C). COuld it be the first day of 2009 that my alpinestars leathers come out?!?!

Was damp and slippery this end, low revs in 4th gear and the back stepped out :( So not pushing it much at all.

had a ride out yesterday and had to go through a lot of floods which surprised me

[skyline]

Yeah I had a good ride out today, it rained yesterday but that meant some of the winter salt gets washed off the road and the mild weather had dried the roads by the time I got on the bike this afternoon. Happy days! :cool:

[Girth]

Starting to dry up round here,

I'm off the the best part of this week so cleaning the bike properly and then a good ride out me thinks.

I also don'd the Tinted visor last week, still not exactly warm though.

[etuna]

im off this week and cant wait for a London blast. Noticed that the outside temp in my car was double figures today - first time in ages!

[Bear]

Also had a brilliant days riding today. New back tyre, cleaned brakes and roads what iz dry and not icy: Woohoo!

[fatneck]

nowt wrong with summer R1s...that'd be me if i could afford one...!

[thefallenangel]

Went for a hoon yesterday. Was good and i remember how good dry, non-snowy roads are.

[Ed]

Pah. I'm not home and I haven't been home. Me, Anne and Gaynor are finishing off a tender document, printing and collating it TEN times - needs to be submitted tomorrow. And before that I did a talk to a Resdidential Landlords Forum, on landlords' repairing obligations in residential tenancies.

[madness]

'Resdidential'!!

Hope someone proof read the tender document! ;)

'Resdidential'!!

Deliberate error - we need to prove that we offer innovative solutions, so innovative spelling is part and parcel:D

New back tyre, cleaned brakes
Can you really tell the difference on the Madness? :confused:

Isn't the "sneering at people who choose not to ride during the winter" thing just a little bit 20 years ago?

....and all the cop "crackdowns" that brings.:rolleyes::rolleyes:


You lucky peepole.

Roads are still terrible up here for hooning. Need a few days heavy rain to wash all the crap away. (and i need a front tyre that turns :( )
