Took the Guzzi out for a couple of hours this afternoon , roads were surprisingly quiet considering the hot sunny weather .

My wife and I cycled the 65 mile route on the Coventry and Rugby Bloodwise Bikeathon.


Third charity ride in a month, after the 50 mile British Heart Foundation Cotswold ride and our Macmillan Cancer 150 mile Coast to Coast ride.


Feeling tired, but well worth it for all of the charity money we've raised.

Changed the rubber handle bar inserts on the KTM to aluminium - hadn't realised how much the rubber had softened up and how back bat "flex" had been introduced. Nice and solid now, and no noticeable change in vibes. Ready for a big off road ride coming up with the KTM lads!

cheers

I had a little help putting the finishing touches to my daughter's first Yamaha.

Took the Sprint out on Saturday, told the wife I'd be a couple of hours max as it was dull, went up the road for an hour and it brightened up so continued out west to Applecross, Arrived home 350miles and 5 hours later,, she wasn't best pleased :lol :lol

Ragged the Striple down to the Filling Station cafe at Keswick, where I did see this:





Flash git. But boy, is that ugly for an Akrapovich!


Then ragged it down to Ambleside on the A591, then up The Struggle, (ooh er missus etc):





To the Kirkstone Pass:





What they don't tell you is there were 2 accidents  :lol


Then ragged it along Ullswater:








Then ragged it along the A66 back to Keswick, A591, and A595 home.






Rag rag rag rag rag rag rag.            Rag.
