675.cc fest around Leicestershire. Absolutely fantastic time. 420 miles over the weekend, it's made me want another 675...I can't get that whining whistling deep sound out my head now after listening to so many haha!!

It's too expensive to make a new sports bike. I can't see Triumph doing it, the demand isn't there.

Had a family visit on yesterday. I managed to "engineer" a decision that we couldn't leave the dog alone all day so I would stay with him whilst the family would go on, and I would meet them on the bike a few hours later.

So a nice leisurely ride up to Stafford, taking my time and only having a couple of 'Oops' moments.

I f****ng spanked it on the way home and had no 'Oops' moments!


The message is clear to me. Spank it more.

A good philosophy for life in general too!

Nice to be riding in the sun without it raining or being freezing cold this morning.

Vehicle Down Sensor has failed Rossgo. Thanks for asking buddy.

Nothing major but no point having a warranty if your not going to use it when needed.

Unsure what that is to be honest. However I agree, a warranty is there to be used when needed mate. I wouldn't think twice if I had to!!

Ordered an Airhawk seat pad for the Multistrada, for some reason the trip back wasn't too bad but going up to the North East on Friday was a Pain in the arse....Literally !! :( Apart form the traffic and the Deluge of rain at Sheffield.

Nice summery ride into work today. Let's hope this dry and sunny spell lasts a bit longer.

Took the Multi in for its first 600 mile service and oil change.

Then decided it was a day to be riding the bike so rode it up towards Mallory, stopped for lunch in a nice pub and then rode to Market Harborough to ride the famed B6047 to Melton Mowbray. Its the road PB magazine use for their photos. Lovely piece of road especially the top section towards Melton but much of it is 50mph limit with double white lines on some parts.

Not the busiest road but would be best ridden on a summers evening or early on a Sunday morning. Its twisty and undulating and ideal for bikes. Shame we have to share it with other road users. :D

Its a great road. I used to get the KTM serviced up the road from there and used to blast the demo bikes up and down it (y)

Me and Kwacky hit it last year. Unfortunately we hit it at the same time as a million gallons of rain!!!

Some lovely roads around that area.
