Nice pics 
How do you find the TKC70s?
Really liking them. I thought about the TKC80s but unless I start riding on the beach with the Duke it seemed overkill. The TKC70s are perfect, good for street with just enough compromise for bit of gravel and mud that tends to accumulate on some of the less-used roads in Cumbria.Plus the tread pattern looks like it should be great for rainy days - we get plenty of those too. A scorching 18 degrees today and an afternoon hoon across the fells and some A roads, I grew more confident with the grip. They don't feel as stable as the Corsa's for some of the fast sweepers but that's to be expected I guess. How do you find the TKC70s?
So far, really happy!

Good crack today out n about with the Chopper boys n girls...
Is that just a meet up and show or do you guys actually have a ride out for a few miles 
. Fair play, more than my total of doing fook all today. Some of them do more miles and venture further afield than people I know who ride motorbikes...3 more meets in September to aim for...
t 10 miles , I remember the little chain that goes through the rear hub always snapping, 10 miles stuck in 3rd gear deserves a pint 
Yesterday 50 friends and relations went out for a memorial ride for my nephew Jelle who sadly lost his life in an track day accident at Circuit Mettet on 3Sept 2016. We had a 300km round trip to Malmedy in Belgium.
Some of the participants:
In Malmedy:
The pizza was delicious, Mamma Mia in Malmedy.

These pics pretty much sum up the last 2 weeks for me:
Nearly 3000 miles, the Schwarzwaldhochstraße (B500 black forest) followed by passes Silvretta, Timmelsjoch, Giovo (which is incredible), Gardena then a few days in the dolomites doing local passes. Then Stelvio en-route to 36 degree heat at lake Como. Then various passes to Fibourg, Switzerland for a week and many, many Swiss passes before riding 500 miles from Switzerland to home yesterday.
Already thinking about the next trip down there, fingers crossed it'll be on the Tuono, rucksack and tank bag, down to Andermatt in a day then a week at a single hotel doing the 5+ passes you can ride within 30 minutes of there
