I was looking at the 899 before I bought the F3 800.
Spending time on a Ducati forum put me off. There's nothing wrong with the bikes, but the owners are a different breed

Imagine the biking equivalent of a vegan who does cross fit
That's your average 899 owner

Tonight will be finishing off the fettling with the YZ, sorting filter, plug, check bolts, gear lever needs moving... oil, fuel etc...
Once thats done, replace the pads on the S1, i have had the pads for ages, but every time I check they look ok. However it was in for an MOT recently and that was flagged up.

Thought it was lonely sat in the shed by itself, so bought it a new buddy.
Need to get a stand for it and have a bit of a shed shuffle.

It was the Monthly Triumph Rat run today, chilly and wet, so I took the beemer, spend bloody ages cleaning the 765 and the rear is a little close to being done, so it stayed wrapped up... I didnt want to get it dirty so soon lol.
Had a really good day on dry roads, wets roads, floods... and a bit of rain later in the day. I have to say and I know I have said it before, but that S1000R is such a good bike, really had fun on it today. Going off onto roads that I have not ridden for ages on the bike, made it even more fun.

Wintered the bikes today. Good clean and sort out.
I also put the missus’s 400-4 back together, it’s been in bits for 10 years. I now need to find time to strip it completely / properly and get it running, needs a lot of work but a cool bike. 1976 vintage

Cleaned the last of the mud off the MX bike and lubed the chain up.. my office now smells of MucOff chain lube
I turned the triumph over the other day as it's been sat for a few weeks, started instantly so
happy with that.

Insured it... I've bought, taxed and insured cars for less. Admittedly not recently.

Yesterday I made use of a hole in the weather to take the bike up to Squire's cafe and back on the back roads, 90 miles so far and still over 200 in the massive tank.

I remember those days on the Africa Twin. You can do a full day.

I actually rode my bike. I took the kwak in to work.
It'll be dirty now, so I'll have to wash it at the weekend. I don't miss those weekly winter washes.
