What have you done on your bike today?

Peak Forest last Sunday 😎

Got the Diavel with it's new Termi back from Nelly's today. Long day, traffic was feckin awful. Got in a short blatt this evening before putting the bike to bed. Well, you've just got to haven't you? Didn't take any pics or sound vids. Too shredded after all that driving but I will tomorrow. Trailer goes back first thing and then the day's my own and I intend to spend it on two wheels.

Sounds ace. Not over the top, just as it should be. Reminds me of the full Akra system I had on the Superduke. Shed a shit load of weight too and I can feel it.
I don't think it's boosted power massively, probably a few ponies at the top end I reckon, but what I'm most chuffed about is how much smoother it is now. Feels like it's fueling like it was always supposed to and it sounds fantastic.

Probably is fueling how it was meant to…they’ve been stifled progressively over the years. I take it you had it mapped then?
 
Today i rode down to Sammy Millers for Yamaha TRX850 day, i do and have for some time liked them and with the right pipes sound awesome!!👌 I know they where made to rival the Ducati 900ss carb and IE market but it didn't happen. There was one there with some bloke tinkering on it and the set up for the fuel tank to get to the air box is almost identical to the 900ss set up. I didn't know that, it's such a great bit of design, pure and simple. It started raining on the way home, not heavy just a light sprinkle.:)

The one below is the livery I like, the red merging into the black.

I've had to do all this on my phone as my laptop is fucked, it's unusable as the cursor keeps freezing and it's doing my head in. I think it's time to look for a new one!!

I remember the TRX850 when it first came out. My Sunday Morning gang nagged me for a few weeks to get one.
I would have loved to but I was fecking skint and could barely afford to keep myself in tyres.
"But Loz, the 270deg offset crank makes it feel just like a v-twin!"

Oh. Great. So it's free then?
Good group of lads but not the sharpest tools in the box.
 
Another great (CCM) ride this evening Stourton, Hornigsham, and Shearwater (where we stopped and had a natter with a couple out for a walk. They were both bikers ( she had a 1200 Diavel )). then on through the Deverills .........

Tomorrow I'm going further afield so I'll take the Multi.

One of my riding mates has one and has spent a lot of money getting it to handle well and give it some more poke. They are a properly collectable bike now without being stupid money

Yeah I've noticed they have been going up in price but not at the silly zone yet.:)
 
Crossed over to the other side of the island for a fish burger and coffee before hitting the beach for photos and banter. You can see the new surf life saving facility in the background. It is a very wild beach and there has been a lot of drownings and shipwrecks

Today I rode up to Prescott Bike fest, hill climb, met up with @Hugo Magnus ,not as busy as last years for some reason :unsure: Good meet and got to see the Vincent's doing the hill.Mental ride back, had to stop under a bridge on the M40, rain hitting your face ain't fun and it didn't last long.The closer I was getting to Southampton the stronger the wind got and I was riding into it. I won't post photos today as doing it on my phone is hard work. Luckily as I went upstairs my new laptop got delivered so now have to set that up and back to some kind of normal.
