Managed to take the twins out for a short run a little while back. They're loud, they're imperfect, and they're just raw beasts. Vivid reminders of just how awesome superbikes can be before all the electronics have neutered the latest generation.

Ferkin' love that SP2!

It followed me one evening along the M3 in the setting sun. Pulled up alongside, gave a nod, then thundered off into the distance. Right then and there, I knew I had to have one one day. She’s been a delight to own, but I have considered letting her go to make some space. I hesitate only because it’s so hard to find another like her.

Do not want even think about how much that is going to cost.

Few more clouds here unfortunately. A different type of biking for me at the moment as well.

I'm sure I've told you this before SP but just in case I haven't...there's a small part of me that really, really hates you...

Neutered? I dunno maybe, but certainly faster, stronger, and more accessible.

Typical old person "fear change" viewpoint, I'll bet you remember when this was all fields as well?

Also, sweep up your leaves. Bloody disgrace.

You been or going to any trail centres?

Not quite thankfully, as it’ll hurt with the amount of rocks here and I’m riding in shirts amd T-shirt, as we all know we’re invincible when on holiday

Nope, just finding my own way. These tracks are about 5 miles from the villa, so good to explore. Got a shedload of mountains too, but I think that’s a bit much at the moment. My plan is to ride from Peyia to the end of the Akamas Peninsula then over to Latsi / Polis, then hitch a ride back over the top, as I’d die if I tried to ride over the mountains on a MTB with Offroad tyres.

Day off so got out for a few miles. It was about 7 degrees and the roads were patchy damp but it was alright. Still in leathers with summer gloves and didn't get too cold.

Just fitted some new EBC HH pads in the 6R and it has improved the brakes massively, they are easily on a par with the Brembos on my Aprilia.

Still a great looking bike...good to hear your endorsement for the EBCs as ive just put a set in my bike, not as yet tested thou.

Got an exhaust for the XSR.




I will get it on the dyno, see what the a\f is doing.
Looking at the rear shock choices, then get that ordered.

Took my son out for a ride on his Oset

[Andybow]

New bike day for one of the team, OMG sounds amazing, Very impressed with the ride I had

[Joe-53vdc]

Had my S1000RR since April 2016 and love it to bits, got to the TT this year and going back next year which I can't wait for.
