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! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

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

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 Wink Laughing .

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 Shocked as the GS has a canbus system.
