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.

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!ImageImageImageImageImageImage

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.

I'm hoping they'll do it today.

I'm hoping to be too hung over tomorrow to do anything but think about dying

So Sunday all being well
