May 30th evening, June 20th all day 

I'll do my best to be there for May 30th, I've got an operation scheduled for the 14th June, doubt I'll be mobile enough to make the June date.

Poor BMW driver though

My weekend started on Thursday which was shooting the Essex Masters, good day out with decent weather and even better company. Friday and Saturday was car shopping as I need to replace the little Abarth with something that can sit on motorways better. Today is shooting again then giving the bike a wash before tomorrow's Mayday run to the coast.

Bit of this 

If I knew there was something on at Brands I would have popped down

After two days of a customer doing my nut, I'll be off out for a ride after food!

@Stu the Freecom's dont have DMC sadly.

The other option on the test, is to take the right lane, indicating right at the time. On the test they cannot fail you for taking a wrong turn, only for failing to appropriate measures to turn.

The issue I could see with indication at that point is that the traffic behind might not know the area and think that you could be turning into that no entry junction. As above I'd position myself in the lane correctly (slightly left) and have a shoulder check.

I receently had a Tracer 9GT on loan whilst some work was being completed on my Tracer 700. I didn't find the seat bad at all, but then again it does take a very long day on my tracer which everyone moans about the seat on the 700's.

The extra power was nice and expected, played with the various rider modes made for entertaining moments.

Would I buy one as my next bike, I'm not really certain. I have Road 6's on mine which give a level on confidence I simply didn't have on the demo bike.

Other than giving the bike a wash after going for a ride, it's mostly a clay shooting weekend, I hope everyone enjoys whatever they get up to

We are planning on doing the NC500 sometime this year, but I did it pre-covid in my Abarth, and for me the best road was from Spean Bridge to Dalwhinnie Distillery.... The A86. Up along the River Spean/Loch Laggan.

Tomorrow will be spent with more time driving to/from a customers site than the time spent completing the work required. Still it's all overtime.

Have to admit I've not read the full topic, but I found the below link interesting when I watched if.

Find somewhere that sells road workers highviz type products. Usually the waterproof gear they wear can last quite well.

First post digging up a 4 year old post.... welcome along. 

Washed the bike then started to jetwash the front. God I hate crazy paving 

Gave it a clean and lube job then put it back under cover. Bit boring really

Quick trip back to the dealers who fitted the UA heated grips as the epoxy isn't sticking. 

After a couple of long headache weeks I took a nice little trip out. 5 hours, in which it rained, snowed, rained again then sunshine. Bloody cold though, even with heated grips I still had to swap to winter gloves 

Check on the TFL website, all you have to do is put the reg plate in.

LED's have come a long way in recent years, but from everything I've read they have/require a different reflector backing that standard halogen's. 

I've been running the Osram Night Breaker bulbs since Oct/Nov and the main bulb has already blown. 

What recommendations do you guys n girls have for me.

I'm being ultra lazy and having a dealer fit some Ultimate Addons heated grips to replace the failed throttle sided OE Yam grips. Not sure which of the demo bikes I'll be taking out yet though.
