Not today but last week went camping to Cwmdu camp site https://www.campingbreconbeacons.com (recommended). Got there in the dry and set up camp expecting to use it as a base for the next 3 days. Next day....complete washout all day: no ride. Day 2 nice and dry, head out to the Gower peninsula, heavens opened, soaked us and followed us all the way back and then rained through the night last day, pack up and nice dry ride back home happy birthday Mrs Visor
Went out with a couple of guys who run the Herts branch of the TRF. Nothing too challenging except the toll taken on my arse by the “seat like a razor blade” saddle of the Gas Gas over the course of 5 hours and about 70 miles.
Washed the bike after a 2,280 mile trip around France and Spain for this years EMM (European Multistrada Meeting). It took 3.5 hrs and I had a supervisor
Serviced the Gs ready for Scotland. Oil and filter, fitted new rear tyre, checked and cleaned chain and serviced the front brakes.
Got a new DID chain on the Monster. Last week’s trip to the Pyrenees stretched the old one to shit, bucking bronco shit. Super smooth new one
this evening, checked and balanced throttle bodies on m1000ds. next time, i'll probably take the oil cooler off for better access and try the 'angle drive' screwdriver i used on old z650
Popped to CTL in Cirencester to see a mildly customised Harley XR1200 (yes - I know - but it's the least Harley-ish Harley ever, second only to the mighty XR750!). Realised I was being stupid to have another bike I'd have to keep spotless, so I'm on the lookout now for a RNineT to replace wrist-ache Hermann...
It was yesterday but got out on the Multistrada for a few hours. Met up with a couple of mates at Crossgates then routed through the Elan Valley down to Aberystwyth for an ice cream at the seaside. We then bomb burst in our various directions so had a slightly more spirited ride home
