So yeah rode it to work again. Completely puzzled as to why I can switch the front headlamp off – I thought EU regs meant it was always on – and I would rather it was always on.
Took a detour on the way home to my favourite butchers, but darn it they have changed their opening hours for Covid19. So that just meant I had to take the bike out again this morning.
The roads are amazing – just deserted. I was reading traffic in Scotland is now around the same level that it was in 1955! I was so tempted to go for a decent spin, but darn if we all start doing that……. so just 8 miles there and 8 miles back.
Glad I speced cruise control. Just figured out how to use it this morning. I’ve been finding the R1250R really hard to hold to a steady 30mph, the throttle is so light and sensitive and the engine just has incredible low-down torque. So, I now find myself hitting the cruise control for 30mph zones – not what I thought I’d use it for – but it solves that particular problem.
Beemer back in the garage for the week as I’m now on stand-by till the week after.
This is murder. :evil
