Last leg of the trip. Gotta love BMW reliability...

Had a run back from Rothbury with Peter, another one of the regular old boys that I've known since I was 16.

Lovely Matchless. G80CS 500?

Reasonably local to me - is it a forum or FB group? And is a 954 Blade allowed?

1000cc club Scotland mate, FB Page

Blade will be welcome

[Skyman]

Son dropped in with his new bike.

[Moulder]

First decent outing for the 400 today.

New bike day for me - Tuono V4 Factory - after all the hype I decided to try one, well wow!

My friend took this, a pro photographer with his lovely Monster 821 which is his first big bike.

Fantastic. They really are a great bike.

Thank you, moved back up 2 years ago after 20 down south, looking forward to first summer where I can get out.

Parked up for a smoke, bike in the sun thought no more of it. Screens bloody cracked 300 miles in... Wtf.
Rode it straight to the dealer to get it logged and see if KTM will replace it, pure fking raging.

It's annoying because the 690s did it so they've known about the problem since 2016 (IIRC)

If they change it, it'll probably go again

Hope that was just the meeting point! Can’t imagine too many wanting to tour the scenic roads of Cumbernauld

I got the full tour of Cumbernauld trying to find itlol. Didn't realise Cumbernauld was so big.

[Mr Squarekins]

250 miles today and just about every insect in North Wales on either me or bike.

Modern bikes are so expensive but they seem a bit cheaply made or have too little testing imo. KTM, Aprillia and BMW seem quite regular for problems.

Yeah I read a bit about this last night. The surprise the dealer had at seeing it was making me st myself to the tune of £800, I thought KTM might claim it was a stone chip or something

Loving the local trails. This was about half an hour before I ran out of fuel. Ugh, had to walk quite far to pick up some from a kind neighbour. Now my feet are f*cked from walking so far in MX boots.

Taken in mid-Wales on the way back from Ruthin, Denbighshire to Surrey today. Wales was picture perfect this weekend. Did about 650 miles all told with a charity ride-out round Snowdonia yesterday.

Tiger was faultless obviously. There has been quite a lot of comment about vibes on the 1200 and I did notice it on long motorway rides. Although it didn't bother me very much I fitted some heavier bar ends from evotech and they're very effective, vibes damped right down to nearly nothing.

managed to sneak out again today before my night shift, I passed Mercedes AMG F1 so thought I'd grab a pic.

What's quite far in Canada 500 miles ?

4 of us went out today - 2 punctures

Luckily no walking involved

First trip up to the Dales this year, took it easy and enjoyed the scenery to avoid being part of the inevitable carnage on a Sunday, been there got the scars.
