what a gorgeous day!!!

had to make a decision between slinging the treder in the back of the car and taking it out to the forest or riding me SV................. of course the SV won

took it out done about 80 miles really blew the cobwebs off, did some work on the chicken strips that had built up during the odd winter ride

.

would have stopped at Portsdown hill to see if anyone org'ers where up there but was bursting for a pee

i think some drinks are in order later

who else had a good day

I just did exactly the same as it's gorgeous weather here too. 100 miles up to the North Devon coast on some lovely twisties, trying my best to de-square-off my tyres after a couple of thousand miles of miserable winter commuting.

Just got back in, going to take a while to defrost, but what a fantastic ride. Hopefully more where that came from

I would have been blown off the SV if I'd headed out today, it's pretty windy up North.

Also having a good day. Not out on the bike, but it's being put back together right at this moment which means out tomorrow

Had my polishing wheel out, and been shining a few bits up

I have a monster monster hangover, and the GSXR has a flat battery, the SV has a knackered battery and no tax.

I'm staying indoors !!! ( GSXR is on charge though )

No riding again for me this weekend either.

I have however worked some more on the clipon conversion. Bike is now running again and have full control of it. Took it for a quick spin round the block and suddenly remembered steering a bike with clipons is sooooo much different than a bike with handlebars.

Tim is right, it's just a touch windy up north today! We went to the singing ringing tree and the kids were literally blown off their feet. I have only once before been out in such powerfull wind, the storms this time last year, but this was soooo much fun! Makes me giddy!

I can't ride mine yet, so as the next best thing, I put the fairings on and the other mirror.
So I now have a bike with 2 mirrors and all the fairings, minus a few bolts....

Nearly ready.
