It was just too nice to refuse a ride out this morning.

The bike fired into life, and sat there thumping away while I got ready, no idea where to go, but just thought, why not.

Soon found myself heading out of town, after a quick fuel stop, A30 towards Hook, then out via Odiham to Alton, out on some of the nicest biking roads around, down to West Meon Hut, the café looked very busy, so I took a right, out along heading back Winchester way.

Sitting at one of the roundabouts, a guy in a rather nice Land Rover, asked if I could rev the motor for his kids to hear, duly obliged.. big smiles all round, job done!!

then back home for a well earned coffee, a very peasant ride, nice to see some many other bikers all taking advantage as well..

clean the flies from the bike, a polish, then a very nice quick job.. change the front pads, in fact it was a real easy job, 5 minutes! no drama, and now ready for bedding in, think if the weathers on my side next week, I might have to have another 60 mile jolly...

awaiting some attention...
