I saw that on a Honda Cafe Racer the other day. It looked awesome.

Looks to me that he should have been 2m forward to open up his view around the corner.

Good for you. I was out at the same time and it was horribly hot.

Anyone fancy riding on marbles?

Also the dents in the tarmac from side stands on hot days? One of those was caused by my Z400 back in the day. I remember pulling the bugger out!

I LOVE that place. So many memories. Also you can use the wall around the top as a table whilst eating chips and gravy, not to mention free parking.

I'm just back from a lovely ride out, exploring a few new roads. I made a point to go past the poppy field after stealing the idea from @valheru.bsky.social

Nice photo. I was out on an IAM ride on Saturday and came across a stunning poppy field. Not the time to stop though.

Today's distraction. No wind protection so I'm never likely to buy one, but so much fun to ride. Responsive, surprisingly comfortable, handles well. So much fun to ride.

Normally I would agree but today was a sausage roll day

So many bikes out on the B660 this morning. What do you think you're all doing on my private racetrack πŸ˜‚

I've finally settled on the new Multistrada V2S. I loved it.

It's a space issue. I was heading for eBay but wife just said keep it. What can you say?

I've had some great times on it. I'm struggling to decide what to do.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm coming from.

1984 Honda VF400FD. I used to ride it up until Covid and then stopped. Decision for '25, do I restore it and ride it, or sell it and get garage space back?

It's great fun to ride, but so are other things.

MV Augusta Turismo Veloce. I considered adding it to my shortlist but decided against as there's a new model next year with the motor from the Enduro. Still might take the Enduro Veloce for a spin though.

So first ride over as an Observer to a new member. My plan, my route, my assessment. No-one died so taking that as a win.

I've got my first ride out today as an IAM Observer to a new Associate. Time to get in the zone.
