Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Took it for a right ol spanking.... Well as much as you can keeping the revs down, not holding at the same revs for too long......generally being good-ish
almost into Herefordshire..... then realised I left my phone on the kitchen table.... got all paranoid should anything go wrong in the middle of nowhere i would be knackered, so made my way back.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Yesterday (B/H Monday) me and a mate went down to Poole via New Forest and Bournemouth. The actual ride wasn't great to be honest, a lot of 30s and 40s and speed cameras, and a lot of not knowing what the speed on the road actually is (we have very poor signage on some of these roads). But the final destination was nice. Have a nice cream and a slush puppy a long the coast. It was bloody hot though. Even when we were riding no cool air was passing into us it was just like a hair dryer blowing at us!

Took the MV to the dealer. The rear nut needs cracking, the headlight replacing and the clutch basket upgrading. They'll give it a general check over and service as well. Then I can get the rear tyre changed.

MV are paying for the clutch basket. It's just an upgrade which is quieter than the original one.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I'm hoping they'll do it today.

So Sunday all being well
