Rode over to Hay on Wye this evening with a couple of friends for fish and chips. Stopped off for a pint in Leominster on the way back. Got home and checked my rear tyre. My chicken strips aren't getting any smaller

I took the SX out for a couple of hours. It's definitely a point and squirt way to ride. You can feel the weight it carries when you compare it to the sx, which is pretty effortless to ride.

Took the 765 out for a little run yesterday before a good wash. I am really enjoying this bike, it is so responsive, plus I am getting used to riding it, its a big difference to riding the S1 with all that power on tap. I forgot how much engine braking you have with a triple. I find myself either braking way to early or worse, too late lol..... Brakes are good though
Will be on it all day today with a trip out to the coast.

MX day on Saturday ,EV lost her confidence because shes hardly ridden this year and on a bigger bike. The track was un-watered and like riding on glass marbles, but once the side cars went out there was a clearer line and she was ok. Watching a 700cc 2T side car is like nothing else they are brutal
Every time I ride mine I love it more and more, I really wish I would have got into mx when I was younger

Rode it through a sea of morons to get new tyres

Washed it after another 300 mile + day yesterday, If I keep doing this kind of mileage I will need that GS

Clock up 200 miles on Sunday riding down to the coast via some nice roads (never been on before) through the New Forest. The only time I dont get ants in my pants when riding at 20 mph and 30 mph ha ha ha..... Nice views.
Again more time on the Street was enjoyable.

Chucked a bucket of soapy water at the ducrapi

Nah, just the 1000XR... Epic cruising ability combined with stupidly good handling I do sometimes miss mine.

I really do like the new version in Red/Black...

Went to Bromyard bike meet and had some Greek street food. Pork and chicken wrap with chips in it. It was very tasty! Did you go Cookie?

Just saw some photos of it, I have to say it does look good... It would be a sin not to try and get a test ride on one
