A nice eeeeaaaarrrrllllyyyy morning motorcycle ride on my lovely Raptor, a special "made it through the MOT again" present.
Temperature just right, managed to avoid most of the traffic, some great fast sweeping bends and some tight ones requiring rapid direction changes.
The Raptor never fails to amaze me how good it is! _________________ So many roads, so little time. |

What else MMS......my first ride on a Street Triple R. Went with Helen to Hemel Hempstead to collect her 'new' bike. She insisted i take it for a spin, and get fuel, while paperwork was being sorted. Twin, open, Arrow cans and it is seriously load but i was well impressed.
Her old Striple and new.
Btw, it's a 2010 model with 2000 miles on the clock and Helen had a great p/x on the old 28k model. So she's happy. _________________ Just call me Waki. |

A Bloody good day in the company of the Gentlemen of the Met Police Bikesafe team at The Warren. Defiantly the best £25 I've spent in a long time. Even the bag of freebies I got was worth more than the cost of the day
Even managed to bump into GT at the lunch. As usual, he was scrounging a free cuppa lol _________________ Opinions are like assholes...... Ahhh Fcuk it - YOUR WRONG !!!

Did this a few weeks ago, and agreed well worth £25. Worth £75 in my opinion.
Fortunately I didn't bump into GT on mine . _________________ So many roads, so little time. |

Extended the brackets to get mine to fit near the top of the forks, where the old dead one was sitting but agreed, not easy to find the space and I had to use a relay and a 25amp fuse as the GS has a canbus system. _________________ Boxhill Chippendales
