What have you done on your bike today?

Today i went to the garage to get the whateverthefuckitis out of the tyre, as it turns out it is a 2 inch screw, bastid!! The puncture safe didn't do anything so i got the GRYYP puncture repait kit out. So plugged the hole and with the fact it has puncture safe in it as well it should be good to go. I will not slag off puncture safe as it had a large hole to plug so i'll let it off this time.:)

Keepin it real dude!

Which is ironic as ive not actually been out on any of them (purely for the fun of it apart from the TT last year and this years attempt) - i only ever seem to ride them to the office...!

But, sayin that...gonna try to get out on saturday to caffeine and machine (the other one not the one near loomies) with a mate...
 
Well, not today, but since Sunday.
For only the second time this year, I managed to escape for more than a couple of hours.
My cousin in Wales has passed, so made a my trip to the funeral a mini adventure.

There wasn’t any accommodation in Brecon, but I managed to get a couple of nights here

It’s the Roadhouse Cafe near Abergavenny, Sunday night was bike night.
The rooms are clean, but the place needs a lick of paint

But the view from the rooms more than makes up for it

The rooms were only £69 a night, breakfast was ok, came to a tenner.

I did a dummy run to the crematorium near Merthyr Tydfil on Sunday evening while the football was on, stopped for a photo on a random, narrow and gravelly back road

Thought I’d see where the do was going to be after the service in Brecon

The service was nice, some very interesting interesting people were there

It's only after seeing your number plate that reminded me how long you've had the v2
 
Have the V4 booked in for service at Worcester tomorrow, only realised on Tuesday it still has slicks on,no mirrors and no plate so busy day today, left the race fairings on but had to cut out so I could fit sidestand! Took it out for a quick test, all good👌 they are loaning me a multistrada V4 which I’m really looking forward to seeing how it compares to my 1260 multi!

Please do let us know what you think.
 
Today i went out for a spin on the HD, lovely and cool but thing's soon heated up.🥵 I went to Salisbury first to Greggs for something to eat, got up there and there is a massive que and one lad serving on his own!! I've noticed this before it's like the staff fuck off round the back leaving one person to serve, the manager imo is a Guinness, i turned round and fucked off. I rode up to Wilton and just went for a ride just down roads i don't know and see were i end up, ended up in blandford forum, i was thinking of going to the Tank museum but i'll go there later seeing that the weather is looking good for the next two weeks. :)

Greggs?? Ffs.. do you have a grudge against ya stomach?
 
So this is what they gave me, fantastic bike but in all honesty I prefer the 1260! Main reasons are it’s a little bit taller than the 1260( easy to sort out I know) the gearbox on the v4 was smoother particularly on the downshifts and it sounded great especially the induction roar ! Can’t quite put my finger on it but it just didn’t give me the grin of the 1260, it handled well but nothing like the 1260, maybe that’s the electronic suspension not sure,all in all a great bike and I fully expected it to convince me to chop mine in
For one but just prefer the 1260👍
