Re: Two wheels good.
I was chatting to the riders of the two gixers in the pic. They couldn’t believe that I’d ridden from Ipswich just for lunch
Annoying sideways pic, sorry.

Re: Two wheels good.
Gixxer riders are odd, I led a ride out with a few on once & they complained I went too far between stops - it was about 45miles ffs.

Re: Two wheels good.
One of them said he couldn’t imagine doing 150 miles in a day let alone 300. His head nearly exploded when I told him about my best ever in one hit. Millau in France to Faro in Portugal, 1100 miles in twenty hours.

Bless 'em, those & the GS boys only ever pose at cafes rather than ride.

Took a spin out to Caffeine and Machine in Warwickshire today. 300 mile round trip for a burger, chips and a cup of tea. Good food and I enjoyed the ride.

Re: Two wheels good.
600 miles into the new bike
Went to the seaside today
Its a very cool bike, and is a lot faster than it looks, its run in now (and I've never been one for running bikes in) and happily wheelies off the throttle in second once you turn the TC off (which is awesome and sounds like a proper race bike when it kicks in)

Re: Two wheels good.
Swapped my yz250 for a learner legal kmx, I'll miss the power of the yz but think this will be more fun to use out on the road.
CBT booked for tomorrow so hoping to get out on it on Sunday.

Re: Two wheels good.
I got my first bike in November after catching a train into Euston. It pissed down all the way back to Manchester and I had to stop every couple of hours to defrost my nuts.
Less annoying tag line.

Just when I thought I was out they dragged me back in.
