Be interested to know what you think on the light pattern on the LED over OE kit.

@Simon Davey, I class these as experience rides. It's normally an experience I dont want to be in a rush to do again. The main thing is that you made it home in one piece.

Took the XSR900 into Sondel Yamaha for the TPS recall, then I had to test it after the work was completed, so out for a couple of hours enjoying the sun.

@Simon Davey, am I love with the bike, nope cant say I am but I'm also not disliking it. It is a good bike with a cracking engine, but the one common complaint about Yam's is the suspension is on the budget side of things. @bonio, I had my suspension setup by HM Racing down in Edenbridge, so I have confidence that they know a thing or two about setups. Sadly MCT is a bit too far away. I think this weekend might end up going out for a test ride or two if I can fit it in.

I did a biker down a little wihle back and well worth it. I'd also recommend the Bike Safe course.

I've had my XSR900 for almost a year and whilst it's a very accomplished bike, the suspension is built for a 60kg person and not me. I had a suspension setup completed last year and whilst it imporoved things, it was almost (within a click or two) of being max'd out. I've emailled the company that completed the setup and they have quoted the best part of £1800 to replace/upgrade the suspension to something that will handle my 95kg. So I'm now thinking do I spend that and upgrade or just replace the bike with something that is designed for shall I say a more european built person. Yes I know it's going to be my choice at the end of the day but I need my head to win this battle over my heart.

My lsat two tours have been using AirBnB other than one single hotel which was a spur of the moment booking. We hit some real gems in Spain and Portugal. I was asked about a possible 3 week trip up to Nordkapp, but when they said it was camping, I declined as 3 weeks in Norway was just too big a weather risk for my old bones.

Working Saturday night into Sunday otherwise nothing planned.

I've got a core moto that I use in conjunction with an Abus 8077 disc lock. If I was looking to upgrade either end I would be looking at the Hiplock which is around the same price as the X3.

Received a recall letter from Yamaha for the TPS on the MT09's, XSR900's and MT10's . Tomorrow will be giving mine a wash before a quick ride to the dealers to get it all booked in.

Had a set of S23's fitted to the XSR. Just got to ride it for a wee while to scrub them in.

I went on Saturday and it reminded me of rhe first post covid show. Excel must be doing them some mega deal as I just cant see how they make any profit/prestige to grow the show. It was almost like the bike parking area was close to half the size of the event. The Sammy Miller stand got most of my attention, but otherwise I just feel it lacks any buzz that you get from the NEC.

That would be me...... 24mph in a 20 zone! Got to love our citizen Khan who is killing our capital.

Might be worth looking at Squire (https://www.squirepadlocks.co.uk/) as an alternative

Ebay will be your best choice now they've closed down.
