ridng back from eastbourne with valenjimbo rossi yesterday...after a dreadful couple of minutes circumnavigating the town centre it was a pleasure to see the chosen one pull the pin on his SV650 and display the schmooovemeister of old with fully functional mojo .....big big grins having moved someway to sorting out the front end jitters i have been having on the 1400 ( 2 turns off the preload ) would say it can still be better but having the confidence to find some decent lean angles again without the fear of the front end washing away was a fantastic feeling and the route master certainly gave me a few twists and turns with which to test out the new settings.
Have certainly rekindled something and for now she feels rideable again until i can get some sheckles together to allow HM Racing a crack at setting her up perfect.

Yup - me as well. 6200 on the Sprint after Wales. Did the A4069 Black Mountain Pass, which was a standout amongst a lot of top roads. 
Managed to lose my wallet and phone somehow yesterday though, which rather put a dampener on it all.  |

Did you stop for a cuppa and a bacon roll at West End Café Llandovery afterwards too?

Indeed we did, but before rather than after.

That begins to cover it.
I must have spent about five hours so far on the phone cancelling old and requesting new cards and of course the phone wasn't recently sync'd so I've lost loads of numbers as well... |

You definitely looked like you were more comfortable with the "little" beast than of late. Hopefully this means we'll be seeing much more of you on rideouts  .

Ah but law of sod dictates the last ten percent Takes as much time as the perceived ninety
