What have you done on your bike today?

MOT on 'White Lighning' 🛵 Ran out on Thursday. :rolleyes: I've never had a chance to renew it for a couple of weeks, but I started using it for work again on Monday.

Took her this morning and passed as usual. Owned since new and 14.5 years old now, and has never failed. It owes me nothing, this thing. :)

14.5 years???

Damnit man, you could have built yourself a KR1000 replica in that time.
 
Been out of commission for the past week with the flu or a virus or both, (arent they the same?) missed all the good riding weather last week. Soooooo went out with a group today on a test ride for and up coming group ride.

very Scotchlandy weather, cold and wet and I'm completely unprepared. With the Mistress pending new tires and Battery, the Dutchcess is the weapon of choice.

Riding here is quite a bore. No pictures can compare to the ones posted above ya lucky bastards.

I rode tail. After lunch at Getttsburg, we were on a country road and passed them all in about a, second, had fun for a few minutes then stoped and waited and waited, and waited. Must have gotten too far ahead so I circled back and found my way home. According calimoto my top speed going home: kinda quick.

I took the Multi up to St Neots Motorcycles, formerly Ducati and Suzuki dealer but now just Suzuki. Not smooth and sophisticated like a modern dealer but all the better for it. I went with a friend who is after a new bike and is choosing between a multi v2, a Kawasaki Ninja Z something or other, a Suzuki gs1000gt or a Guzzi Mandello. The Suzuki was ruled out instantly as he couldn't get his left foot under the gear lever to change up. The dealer suggested cut and weld an extension after purchase but no way he could test ride the bike so its no longer on the short list. My friend has size 13 feet so larger than most but i struggled even with my relatively dainty size 10s.
 
Many years ago I bought a second hand clutch lever and reservoir from St Neots Motorcycles via eBay.
Reasonably priced, but the unit was pure scrap. You can shit on St Neots Motorcycles. I would shit on them but it's a long trip and they aren't worth my time.

My commute is now 40 miles, half dual carriageway, using the bike I'll probably avoid the dual carriageway as I find them unpleasant - and it reduces the miles 😁 or use the pansexual for dual carriageway munching since it's as big as a truck 🤔🤣

My commute is about 50…feet. Though as the crow flies from by bed to my desk is about 15 feet.

It has advantages and disadvantages 👍
 
Today i had to get out on the Enfield, it's nice and sunny but still cold but getting milder going into the week. :) I had the usual person just pulling out on me and women do it more than men. It's a fucking joke the way people drive, the thing that realy pissies me off more than anything is there's never anything behind me!! The urge to just pull out on you is to much for these fucking retards, anyway hay ho and all that bollox!!

Does it happen more while you’ve been on the Enfield?

No, it happens what ever i'm riding!! I see it all the time i'm out with cars pulling out infront of cars and cyclists, it's a fucking disease in Hampshire let alone Southampton. When ever i go for a ride out of Hampshire to an event etc the driving standard is ok, i find ass soon as i get to Winchester it starts! The driving standard is a joke. I remember when my Uncle god bless him who did a lot of driving all over the UK in the 60s and 70s said the worst driving in all his years on the road Hampshire is the worst. :)
