Down south (Portsmouth) has been great (A bit of a blip last week) but I've been looking after the Mrs all week after a minor op so the bike has been left neglected for a week. Still she's looking better (the Mrs), and the weekend is looming with good weather. Happy days.............

Bluddy lovely down south it is. Its not normal for this time of the year. Trouble is, I think this is the calm before the storm.

I've only just ACF-50'd the Tiger!

Usually that's done a month or two ago.

The sun was out yesterday, warm and dry. Got a puncture in the back tyre, fixed today.

Not having much luck with tyres this year...

It might be miserable up here but the temperature is definitely in the doubles! Just means when the cold snap does come it'll hit even harder

Been good fun two wheel drifting in November
