    No! Just my phone but I tried to edit the picture to add some colour but instead appear to have added part of my front brake disc to my tyre!

    After nearly 2.5 months resting in the garage I pulled the street twin out; 7.5c but decided that I would wrap up warm and go for it. Got started following the front wheel and ended up doing a 100 mile round trip to the ponderosa/horeshoe pass. With lovely clear skies and dry roads what was there not to enjoy.

    I've been staring at my T120 in the garage. It's not stopped raining for days and days and days and before that snow. So staring is all I can do at the moment. Bloody winter, I hate it. Anyway enjoy this evening chaps.

    Took one of my Rockets for a short blast just to pump oil around and move brakes etc. Ran my classic Rocket on the bench just again to push oil around the block. Is it spring yet? :(

    It hasn’t turned a wheel for over 6yrs:eek: not even for a an MOT:confused:
    Apparently it’s his pride and joy????

    Go and shake him warmly by the throat:eek: and make him an offer he can't refuse. Then you can be the proud owner of a BB(Bloody Big)BPOS:cool:. AND .... you can destroy rear tyres at will!:grinning::grinning:

    Yeah I used to tell the same story to my grandsons. Used to tell them I went to the moon to stock up on cheese and about how I used to battle through asteroid belts. Spellbound they were. Tried the same stories on my grand daughters, they just looked at me with pity and told me to stop being silly.

    Always blame your age for such indiscretions:blush:. The older you get the easier it is to get away with such things.:cool: Senior moments become more acceptable as they become more frequent:). I know this to be true but I can't always remember why.:confused:

    Took Legend out yesterday morning before the rabble awoke, to deliver a thank you pressie to my drummer and chew the fat a while... dry and warm enough for jeans and jacket... roll on more days like that in this new year.

    2 degrees and wet so I only did 10 miles.I adjusted the rebound on the forks (softened) and now I think I have what I want, which is the same handling as before, a comfortable ride, and no dip on first braking .Ive still only done maybe 40 miles on the new rear tyre

    Hope you guys are cleaning and reapplying ACF50 (other inferior brands are available) to your bikes after taking them out on those shitey salt covered roads!!!
    Ran the Tuono 10 miles up the road and made sure it was well cleaned and sprayed.
