Haven’t seen it yet apart from pics Frankie took, fairings trashed

that looks painful. Hoping for a speedy recovery for you and bike.

GWS, Mick. That looks like a nasty break.

Ouch. Hope the pain goes soon mate, and hope the recovery is a speedy one.

Ooh not good Mick. Had a similar break few years back and easy repair with some plate and a few self tappers Hope the bike isn't too bad either.

Get well soon. Speedy recovery

I've also booked the bike in for some new boots and an MOT on Friday, so it'll be ready to take out to a 5000-strong rideout!!!

I was umm-ing and ah-ing about it for the last couple of weeks, but we decided to ask my daughter if she wanted to come with me. A few years ago she saw a small gathering of bikes turn up at Marham and decided she wanted to go on the back asap. We deemed she was too young just then but I was quite excited about her wanting to do it.

Fast forward to last year and she'd gone off the idea completely. I was disappointed but wasn't going to force the issue.

Now it seems like she's u-turned again, so not only will Sunday be my first rideout of the year, it will be Holly's first time as a pillion too.

I'm pretty excited.




*puts thoughts of going out on new tyres, not having ridden for months, with my 12 year old daughter on the back firmly to a darkened corner of my mind!!!

wow bit late to the thread, get well soon bud, that looks painful, and I'm sure the pain will only get worse once you see the bike, but hope its not too bad at all!

The event isn't my cup of tea, but you get to spend biking time with your daughter, and that's precious.

I know what you mean mate, it'll be a 23 mile trip at a slow pace with thousands of other bikes, hardly a Tankslap special!

But as you say, it's time I get to spend with Holly and the bike. She's been feeling a bit low recently and I'm hoping that this, among other things, will bring her back up again.

And it's a good fundraiser for a worthwhile charity as well.

I actually really REALLY enjoyed my ride to work this morning, I decided to make an actual point of not going into A mode as it really is a handful and too snatchy and upsets the bike mid corner getting back on the gas and my chicken strips seemed to have got bigger since I started using it, so stuck in standard and loved it! its actually rideable, no chicken strips left already (although the rear is so square it felt like dropping off a cliff, but that's being swapped Friday or Saturday) and in terms of poke it means I just rag it harder to get the same results so actually much more fun! I even found myself having a bit of 1 wheel action on purpose which I hadn't really attempted since my accident so shows how comfortable I felt this morning.

Dropped mine off for a service, nice hour ride to the dealer. Picked up the loan bike and blasted down to Basingstoke.

Was a bit disappointed when I couldn't have the 1290as they had a demo today, but I did get something that really surprised me. Pics and a writeup later.

790?

1090 adventure?

RC390?

I want a go on one of those.
