rode it like I stole it at bromyard moto park getting far more comfortable on the big jumps, spent a lot time being allowed to follow my daughter in the kids class which was the highlight of the day
Did I mention mx is awesome !

Ha ha I agree, since jumping back onto a MX bike again, I have not laughed out loud in my crash helmet for ages.....

First time out on a bike this year…
Took the Thruxton out for its MOT and came home a slightly long way. Hadn’t been down that road since the floods. Pot holes big enough to swallow a whole wheel all over the place. Some I missed by mere millimetres.. roads here are so f**ked atm.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

I tried to fit the protective film to the SX. Despite taking my time, using loads and loads of water and enlisting the help from a hair dryer it still looks crap
I've only done 4 pieces so far. I don't think I'm going to bother with the rest.

I got bored so I swapped the pads over on the MV. I'm not sure I like having the brake pads held in by a clip on the pin. Give me threaded any day.
I've zip tied the lever up over night
Let's see if there's any difference.
