How old is she, I started taking my own kids out for long runs once they could reach the foot pegs.
The biggest problem I had was with my youngest When I took him out, he kept trying to stand up to see what speed I was doing
They were great pillion riders and I would nearly forget they were behind me

shes 11 with the fazer ive got the top box fitted which is safer
so she was very keen and has been for a while so off we went np probs even got her a bikers breakie
its good just wanna make the fazer a bit better on the running

ive got the cbf1000 but will wait a bit before i take her on that one

Got it treated with ACF50 by the All Year Biker rep in Hinckley. Top job, the bike's never looked so clean!

Should need nothing more than a bit of water after a ride to stay protected now.

Only slight downside was that he said my Scottoiler was coating everything except the chain. $:\$

Proper gleaming

Yeah, I found out I've actually got an engine number!

And I'm afraid the nearest guy to south Wales is in Worcester, but it's well worth a trip.

Finally got around to cleaning it after the last LoFo ride, all sparkly again ready for next weeks LoFo/middle earth ride.

Went for a quick blast down to Westerham to trial new sat nav mount, bar risers for comfort, and new 'in helmet' speaker system.

Boy! those roads are pretty slick out of town. I could really feel the bike squirming for grip under my arse. Couldn't seem to generate any heat into my tyres, which is unusual for me.

Took it out for its last winter ride , only done about 350 miles since HTB , headed east towards Tetbury , roads were mainly dry , got very windy so headed home , getting blown about all over the place on the M4. Should have gone out yesterday , but always seem to be working when the sun is shining .

Lead a Ride-out for 10 members of the Solent Advanced Group from Wickham Square, up the A32, down Steep Hill, then along the A272 to Cowdray Farm Cafe at Midhurst.

Back down the A286, along the B2141 (only a little bit flooded!), then to Loomies along the A272

Good Ride

Did a run down to Salisbury today. Had been watching the rain all morning, blustery winds, thinking, yeah, but I need to RIDE!

So got going. Rain stopped, was still pretty windy though, and had to watch on some corners where the wind tried to snatch the wheels out from under me. But that A338 has some pretty good stretches where fun was had. Hit another flood with associated bow wave, stopped to take a pic for photo challenge on another forum (your bike with both wheels in 2+ inches of standing water) - how no one beat me to it I'll never know. 2 more similar floods were traffic light controlled, and took these at a more sensible pace.

Got to Salisbury where the guy controlling the parking at the cathedral tipped me off to a MAG organised do in the market place on 13th April (Sunday) - will be custom and show bikes, food stalls etc. Sounds like a good day out so might go. He also watched over the bike while I had a stroll around - good man

I was looking forward to getting out with you again,,,,buttttt, now i have second thoughts,

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #1965 on:** 23 February 2014, 07:01:39 pm »

I thought about heading west, but forecast said that was where the rain would be, so I went south instead

RobG UK · « **Reply #1966 on:** 23 February 2014, 07:31:47 pm »

put new chain and sprockets on. Boots next cos Avon on the front and Dunlop on the back (although they haven't let me down yet) just preys on my mind a bit

Checked oil ready to go to work on, decided the rain was way too heavy to bother with seeing as google was saying the M6 was traffic free....

Stuck in the traffic in the car on M6 15 mins later..... Contemplated turning round to go get the bike but Northbound was chock too.

Blue Sky all day.....
