Looked, sniffed and inspected the carbs on my kitchen sink as the part delivered that would not fit through the letter box is sat waiting for pick up from my local delivery office.

So no work on the bike today

Rode up to London from Portsmouth, but went for a more interesting route than the A3 by taking the A32 and B3349.

There was an amusing incident when I turned onto the A31 approaching Alton. I saw a single bike on the exit from the Roundabout and thought "Hello, looks like a Marker."

As such, I wasn't surprised to see another bike on the Alton turn off, then one on the A339 turn off waving his arm and making pointing gestures to direct me.

So I pointed at myself and shook my head at which point he realised I wasn't someone on his Ride Out

LoFo ride out from Oakdene Cafe.

No route planned so did A20 Ashford, A28 Tenterden, B2080 Rye, A265, A229 Maidstone, then A20 back to Oakdene.

Very leisurely ride out.

Bike got dirty

Went for a ride with my Dad and brother to Loomies Cafe. Nice 80 mile trip through the country roads.
Sorry for the poor picture

took my new toy out for the first time since it got delivered here last thursday. the bike run like a chuggy diesel car for the first few miles,its fuel light was on when i viewed it in the shop,so i had them put a fivers worth of fuel in for me before they mot'd it for me,i filled the tank and its running much better now.
first real ride in 8 years for me,so took my time to get going as clearly i would be a bit rusty but im pleased with my choice of bike and hope for lots more fun with the bike.

HAPPY DAYS!!

I checked the links (thanks) and all of em incorporate a chain guard. I been lookin ever since I bought the bike and havn't been able to find a hugger without the guard.

brooker81 · « **Reply #1390 on:** 05 November 2013, 10:40:56 am »

Took delivery of, and started fitting my shiny silver Renthal 755 Bars...

Only to find that the eBay seller has read the print wrong and I have 756's! Not road Medium, but Road HIGH!

We'll see if they can be shoehorned on without having to bend the fairing!

Went into the garage, switched on the light revved up the throttle grip without starting the engine, gave the seat a rub, switched off the light and closed the door and went back into the house.

Took mine for a 40 mile run. hands were freezing after the first 5 miles and I wished I'd fitted my heated grips when I had the chance with the bad weather but a nice run none the less.

Will stick a picture up tomorrow if I get them loaded onto the computer.

something seems strange about your garage

I built a stud wall to devide the garage. A small section at the front to keep a motorbike with enough space to work on it. Above the bike is a mezzanine level too, for storage. Then the other side is fully insulated and used as an office / mancave.
