Looks like the weather was kinder this time around. Happy days.

Which TDO was that with BN?
And did you have to pay extra for the bloody garages...?!

Paintwork is done, wheels next.

I believe every TDO charges out garages separately on the Italian and East Europe events. It does annoy.... just price it in FFS!

Think BN went with FE.

I had a mate there on his rsv4 , didn’t bin it which is odd

There were quite a few crashes the last couple of days as it was mad hot. I didn't ride after 2pm on the last 2 days as the track was getting greasy I thought plus I think 4 days is a bit much for an old fella like me.

How fast at the end of the straight?

We had live timing on the screens in the garage and I saw on one session 280 kph for me. I assume that it was taken on the start/ finish line. I also assume I would have got another few kph as you keep it pinned until after the brow which for me was a touch scary.

Spent a couple of days in Wales last week.

The Elan Valley mountain road was stunning.

Hard work two up and fully loaded. Handled like a Panzer, but good fun in a masochistic sort of way.

Only got wet on day three, which was unusual for Wales.

Yes Andy. The opposite of what it was last time we were both there.

A PH'r came over to see me while I was there. Vonsegner is his forum name, a nice lad on a blue R1-M

Yes it was FE.

It was around £140 extra for the garage for the Four days. If I'm honest it all ran very smoothly and the briefing by Colin was short to the point with humor too so there's no complaint from me. Bike return pick up is this Saturday so that's a good turnaround

We did a run up there and stopped at the three dams on Saturday, we were slightly damp by the end of it

Just to show I do occasionally wash my bike:



It's just gone over 10,000 miles and is still great fun!

Looks great! It coping well with the miles?

I think this may the only Kawasaki I have ever actually wanted.

It's coping really well. No issues with commuting and was a real blast in The Dolomites. It's just about worn out a set of PR5s in a little under 7000 miles so I'm really happy. It's only the seat that's, literally, a pain in the arse. Sargent should be doing a replacement very soon so that's top of my current shopping list.

Snap, only mine have the green ink finish. If you've not had carbon wheels before, they're brilliant. Enjoy!

I love the bike! Great pic too!
