I have the Delkevic version. WAAAAAaaaayyyyy to loud and not staying.

My bike has a cat so not loud at all really. But I can at least now hear it , and hopefully the cyclists jumping across the embankment to get on the cycle superhighway will too!

Out with a couple of Spanish blokes thins morning. The usual format, ride to a cafe for brunch then home.

Is that a bee flying past in the sky? I have just tried to wipe it from my screen.

I've no idea what it is, I tried wiping it off when I looked at the pic on my tablet.

Looks like a pic from the good ol' days of photography, when you got specks of dirt on transparencies.

UFO innit

Dodged a bullet

Did you know these guys before you moved out there, or are they new mates you've made since you've been there?

People we've met since being here. When we moved here we didn't know anyone, we've met some decent people since. The midweek cafe ride is organised by a Spanish bloke. Sometimes it's just me and him, yesterday there was another Spanish bloke joined us, sometimes there's other English or Spanish blokes (and chicas). It varies from week to week.

Wifey is off to Alicante for a night tomorrow with four of her friends for a birthday celebration. I'm taking the bike for a spin to Gibraltar next week with another English bloke I'm mates with.

Not me but my son went to the Dragons Back to see what the fuss was about . Don't think he was overly impressed
but its not really a big Harley type road.

DGR ride from West Meon, by Loomies, Gunwarf in Pompey.

We got the Caen - Portsmouth ferry on Saturday.Bike's on before the cars & campers,nice empty deck.Note the ratchet strap & the cover over the seat to stop damage



We were also amongst the first off at Portsmouth .

Seven hours riding today, Gibraltar tomorrow.

Some great roads around Xixona. When friends come over I take them on a big loop to the bike museum at Guardalest via Xixona and Confrides, then back via Finestrat, Rellue, El Campello.and onto home.

Went up in the hills and got some artistic shots in the clouds

A wet Distinguished Gentlemen’s Ride, last Sunday.

I could've sworn I posted this yesterday,but apparently not...

I took the SV650S out for a spin.I put it on a SORN at the end of Feb,the bike fired up first press of the button .



One of my mates is getting back into motorcycling & next week he's buying it from me so I took it out for a spin to make sure everything's running alright.I only sold it to him on the provision that I get first dibs if at some point he decides to sell it.

Modern Jap bike have us spoiled. My Zed is the same and I fully expect it to start first press of the button even when it's been neglected. A friend has an old H2 triple and if he doesn't start it every week,it'll tell him to fuck right off for a long time.
