Went out on the GS750 today. Freezing but sunny and dry.
A blast around the Derbyshire hills is better than a vaccine
(Ahem, not really but I feel a lot better)

I'm fed up cleaning the crap off my bike after every ride. Not been out since before christmas - and I'm not in a rush to get out again, until the roads dry properly. Bike looks nice though

Sick of cleaning the crud off my bikes too, and the plod in Lincolnshire have said they'll stop and possibly fine anyone on a motorbike, if they can't provide a valid reason for being out. So with that in mind and knowing my luck,
I daren't risk it right now.
It's given me a good reason to get out on the pushbike though (legally allowed) and get fit, and lose some weight, almost 2 stone up to now.(thanks for the inspiration Richard
you git )
Did a two hour ride in the sunshine this morning, through Grimsby and Cleethorpes to Humberstone fitties, (look it up, really interesting) and got home knackered, but feeling great

Nah, just like to get out on my favorite routes and keep making them longer if the mood takes me.

I almost like that with the non standard side panels.
You flogging it Kev?
I've a few Yorkshire Groats spare from the Invaders sale and I could reclassify meself as a partial 4 banger so it'd fit in with the triples. Apparently it's all the rage nowadays.
I won't have the 'op' though.High pitched talking's not me, I'm not retraining at my age......
I do have 'previous' with the GSX14.
Fartywarty (see his ebay moniker) seems to be getting away with it, although 2 cylinders is as much as he can handle at his age I suppose.

If you'd got a proper one, they wouldn't catch you.

That's what friends are for.

Trump said that didn't he? Probably rode his 'bike' more than 500 yards though.
