Your not kidding.. was really nice riding over the weekend.

Also nice talking a break from riding and sitting outside in the warm sunshine eating cake..

Ha ha I agree, since jumping back onto a MX bike again, I have not laughed out loud in my crash helmet for ages.....

First time out on a bike this year…

Took the Thruxton out for its MOT and came home a slightly long way. Hadn’t been down that road since the floods. Pot holes big enough to swallow a whole wheel all over the place. Some I missed by mere millimetres.. roads here are so f**ked atm.

I tried to fit the protective film to the SX. Despite taking my time, using loads and loads of water and enlisting the help from a hair dryer it still looks crap

I've only done 4 pieces so far. I don't think I'm going to bother with the rest.

I got bored so I swapped the pads over on the MV. I'm not sure I like having the brake pads held in by a clip on the pin. Give me threaded any day.

I've zip tied the lever up over night

Let's see if there's any difference.
