I saw Saturn and Jupiter last night as it was nice and clear. Even at 350mm on a 1.5 crop sensor I could not get a clear image but never mind. Lovely evening to sit outside with lovely Lady Poppy to gaze at the stars.

First panic still on drive, started it and two lights on. ABS and traction control, oh poo faults already! But immediately cleared as I moved. I really should read the manual.
ABS and traction control linked as they both rely on pulses from sensors on wheels so not satisfied until they have seen both wheels rotate after engine started...

My wrists appreciate more upright position on a nekked bike these days...

Excellent. And I do like the low tech way the surgeon was reminded which side to do!
