Gave the MV a run out.

Took the KTM out for a couple of hours and some proper abuse...

Oh my god that bike is soooooooooo much fun. If you aren't sure that you need a quick shifter on the road the answer is yes, absolutely, most definitely yes. Just yes..... Feck I love that bike...


Just incase your weren't sure, I had fun ..

Washed and polished, couldn’t resist a wee blast about the local reservoirs after - now covered in wildlife

Looks good in the sun

Always nice to have a bit sun on things to brighten them up

As I’ve sold 3 of the bikes leaving me with just the 999 and 600rr track bike I treated myself to a Yamaha 2010 XT660X, took it out for a quick spin today, what a hoot it’s a cracking bike, getting used to the lack of power was a bit weird but a hoot to ride.

Popped up to get a back protector to fit my new jacket.

So good to be out on warm, dry roads and not a lot of traffic either.

Those AS Africa Twins are more common than Street Triples.

Seen two out today and one last Wednesday.

I lead, others follow

I took the hand guards off... I had house stuff to do today.

Should be off to Lancaster tomorrow to the Pitt stop cafe.

Good solid bike that, enjoy!!

Quite good condition for its age, hate the blue colour so im gonna spray those bits black, thought that might look better with the gold wheels. Ordered some different cans as you cant even hear the bike when riding it.

That blue really pops out of the photo.

Bet it pops wheelies too

Checked the vfr over ready for work next week. It's amazing how much tyre pressures can vary with the ambient temperature. Last week they where spot on, today they where about 6psi over.

That's a job for tomorrow.

Easter egg run on the Friday. Wales Sat. Today nothing. Tomorrow off to some cafe. So far so good!

It’s a Yamaha kingfixer, you can’t block out the blue!!! Looks like a beast mate

Oh yea forgot to mention. On Saturday I saw 2 R1Ms- I couldn't believe it. It was whilst on the way home. I thought they are quite rare...I know now they are common as muck
