A nice ride in the sunshine back to the Midlands. Wrexham, Stone, Weston, Uttoxeter, Rugeley, Hednesford, ( stopped to visit my Grandparents' grave ), Lilleshall, Shawbury, Wem, home. 147 miles total. I stopped at Castlewood Cafe, on the A518 between Uttoxeter and Stafford, for some food. Very welcoming staff, bikers coming and going. They have a bikers night every Wednesday. I shall definitely be visiting again.

Noggy - stop fannying around with your suspension and get some springs matched to your weight in the front!


Dropping the front as it won't turn in properly with too stiff springs is like putting a plaster on someones bleeding stump after an accident with a chainsaw

Nipped out after supper at 7:15 and did 50 miles round the coast....bloody windy......but bloody nice......50 miles is better than nothing ill take what i can get.....might be getting a pass on Wedneday to dissapear for the day because thursday into the weekend looks like rain.

[esetest]

Rode the fazer  to the Shakespeare inn at Redland to look at a job , then took it for a nice easy ride around CHew valley to test the new brake pads  did about 40 miles , not gonna have a lot of time to ride either bike over the next fortnight  as i am doing a few extra shifts and a bit of private work  , got to get out while I can .

[MarkWales]

Not today - colour change
[size=78%]





and dual head light mod


New Exhaust



New seat from Digger South Wales

[/size]

[noggythenog]

Washed it....fettled the suspension again.......waited for babysleepoclock & out i went for another little blast.


Visited a local, ancient paper mill that i had heard about...little gem.....blasted down to the beach & then came home.


Forgot to get a pic of the bike being out so heres another of it in th drive for MickVP :b


Oh.......& lets just say that it is amazing what a little bit of pre-load adjustment can do......dare i say it i think im finally happy with it.....my new pilot power 2ct tyres are nice and sticky too, just scrubbed in & ready for more....my rad hose gear shift mod is great too.


Fingers crossed, all being well im gonna do a couple hundred miles tomorrow through Wales in the sun & on some of the worlds best roads 8)

[noggythenog]

Markwales...sorry mate just noticed your bike.....so glad you didnt go blue........looks like a good paint job you got there unless it was all different coloured panels.


Engine needs a paint now though mate

[brooker81]

Nogster where is that paper mill looks nearly as good as your bike is looking. I need to loose more of my chicken strips.

[bigbluebear]

Taking a sickie today as its easy when you're the boss.........and will be taking the mighty Fazer Thou up to Glencoe and beyond....can't resist it in this rare Scottish sunshine

Ok so im focced with the cold but just managd this run...only 200 miles but if it was the only run i ever did id be happy


It's pretty hard to show how nice the A44 really is but it is corner heaven.....pics look crap but hopefully you can see the trucks etc further down.....these series of corners were so fun i evn went back down the hill just to do them again.


Really happy with my ride, carved some nice corners in sequence & felt in control...if at the edge a bit.....i had vast bits of top road, traffic free when it mattered, views were spectacular.....flying into twisties with enclosures of trees where you insantly felt the nice chill of the shade, sunlight speccled through the trees onto the road.....bit like a playstation game at times.


Tyres got a real caning but stuck like glue....very happy noggy


Even did the Beula road in reverse probably the quickest and smoothest ive ever ridden it.
