ok so i went for a little ride today (about 130 miles)
you might recognise some places ![]() ![]() thunder Thighs ![]() ![]() Does my **** look big in this :P ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ok then the mods :- I lurve the heated grips ![]() the sidecases make the bike (more interesting) to ride (i had 4 bricks in each wrapped in a towel to simulate load) had to crank the preload up one after about 5 miles as she felt back heavy (understandably ) however maybe it was just the roads (salt / molassis, grime,debris) but the front end did not feel at all planted today. In fact i had 2 moments (heartstoppers) then took a good look at the tyre / pressures, the pressure is where i normally run but the tyre is worn badly on both sides making the bike feel a little nervous. still got 3 or so mm of tread left so will be running it a while longer. hopefully fit new rubber before my tour in germany though. |

I take it that Hartside was very quiet then.

![]() ![]() I do venture into other area's although they are not as picturesque. Although Kielder can be nice, and St mary's loch, other roads around Dumfries and Galloway are good roads for riding but not so photogenic. anyway nuff said. one thing i did find even though it was bitterly cold my fingers still functioned 29.99 for the oxford grips and 23 quid for the handguards ![]() ![]() |
