Rubbish!
Paddle and kick it into first, then clutchless shifts for the rest of the day. No need to miss a day's riding!
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Thrashed it round Devon...172 miles beautiful weather. Great banter. Only one slight off when Vergil decided to visit a hedge. Low speed no damage except to pride....

Cleaned the bike ready for Popkat's funeral, just waiting for some replacement streaming rear indicators to arrive.
Nothing else needs doing, so to kill time I'm going to see Muse at MK bowl .

Some nice bikes there.

I especially liked this one :lol:

Al, the Triumph looks rather trick 😎

I have never seen an EBR 1190RX in the flesh so-to-speak 😎
Some great looking bikes there, especially your Storm 😉 many thank for posting 👍👍

And for those of you who missed Keira Knightley in the BMW photo:

Finally got round to the post Devon tlc for Nue Red.
Sorted out the exhaust leak so hopefully less popping n banging. Whiped lots of clag off the swing arm... damm scotoiler. Topped up said scotoiler. Didn't adjust the chain after the 800+ miles...damm scotoiler...Hahaha. Took a leaf out of Tony's handbook of not cleaning it apart from the rear wheel had a wipe off
To be fair there is a hosepipe ban in place.
