Sunday. Went out for about 120 miles on the R1 with a mate on his ZX-12R. Was good to be out although I needed my heated kit on the way home.

And went out on Saturday on my own for a similar distance.  :moto:

This afternoon.  Z1000SX. 110 ish miles around Fife. A couple of degrees colder than when i set off. Thick mist in places was not on the forecast. Roads were a mixture of wet and dry. Tyres worn and squared off made it interesting at times. New PR5s in garage waiting to go on. A visit to Kirkcaldy Kawasaki confirmed I won't be purchasing a bike from them. Sales prevention at their finest.

Felt a bit like that when I test rode the T700 from Crescent. Hung around for a bit after but none of the sales people wanted to talk to a scruffy bloke with a DR350.

Their mistake.

It's shocking. Diane and I went round three bike showrooms in Edinburgh in August and not one salesman took us on. Was the same when we went to look at the RE Himalayan in Coventry.

Today but not a big ride as I was only taking the GSXS for a service, whilst it was very damp and the leaves on the road don't improve my desire to have a go I have to say I love the bike every time I ride it..

Today, popped over to Southport to deliver something to a friend. Pissed it down on the way back.

In to work on the Zed Thou...50+mph winds meant the forth road bridge was shut and the wee ybr would've been a liability on the motorway in those conditions. Plus it's nice to be on a bike that does the commute so effortlessly  :afro: and I can judge the mirrors better for filtering compared to the SX.  :shocked:

Maybe I should just keep the Zed...or change that and the ybr into an er6 or old 6r...
