takes a bit of getting the old body back into bike fit shape. one gives me a sore ass, one gives me sore everything and surprised that the new blue one is actually by far the most comfy :thumbup:

Looking good lad, if your board you can come over to mine and do all the work on my 2 as I just cant find the time.
Suspension set up, flatbars to fit, and generally use them.
Please.

Didn't get far on mine. Managed to pick up a puncture within 20minutes.
Plugged it at the side of the road, rode for another twenty minutes and it had gone down again! The sticky worm type pluge had worked it's way back out!!! Replugged it again and went home :(
Epic fail

Just pumped up the tires and went for first quick ride since March. Realised half way that the reason my hands were cooking was that my heated grips were on from last time I rode doh!
Feeling a whole lot more human now though.

What a great thread fabiostar :clap:

And nice pics everyone :thumbup:

I went for a ride on the backroads today with a mate on a ZX9R. We have been riding together for a couple of hundred years - more or less - and our stories from the good old days seem to get better and better :roll: :lol:

Yep, and the lap times and elapsed quarters get shorter about a second every ten years...

Well, you can get away with it; there's less witnesses of the original deed left to call you a liar.

And if they do, it's dementia settling in!

Did a bit of a trip out from Gloucester to almost Hay on Wye, then to Hereford, Ledbury and home.
Don't think my mate, on his SuperDuke, was to impressed with some of the goat tracks, his words, we took 😂😂😂
