Out before 10......but it was already 33 and rising! It was a round trip of 160kms so it had really hotted up by the time I got back around 12.30! The bike went brilliantly.....no fuss or drama, no oil leaks, and no warning lights! After recent experiences having peace of mind and total confidence in the bike makes a big difference. Worked it a bit harder on the motorway.....120KMH/70mph is around 6k revs but it's quite happy at that point. Not stressed in any way, and if you need to overtake there's plenty more there. I love the bike, it's smaller, lighter, and much easier to manage than the bikes I've had in recent years! Why do they keep making bikes that are the size of small cars FFS? And I also found when I parked up that the turning circle is incredible. Where I'd normally be doing a 3 point turn this just turns on a sixpence, and doesn't feel top heavy either. So all good AFAIC......besides the fucking heat that is! Here we go.....

You meet the nicest… oh well it was good while it lasted

Blatant play for BOTM here...................parked next to the trash cart. It's a real winner as it's been done before

Does anyone still deny this is happening? Got to be some nut balls in America I imagine, or @zzzak after a week on the baggie. Anyway the highest recorded temperature in Edinburgh was in 2019 and was 31.6 Celsius, forecast for this Tuesday is 32 Celsius. Gingers will die.

I rode my bike and told you about it what more do you want

I adjusted the clutch lever on my KLR.

Why isn't it cooler like here? Why do you choose to have such heat?

Well caught some ran.. Excape the worse of it.

Nice one Pete, seems like your bike dramas are over. Honda, you know it makes sense

Brilliant, when you want to ride, go Jap.

Havnt seen your abs yet, and im 70 so, the bar of what im supposed to look like aint that high bro....sothere is that.

I agree completely. I think its just a stop gap before they finally switch to hydrogen. IMO lithium mining isn’t the way forward. Plus the sales of battery vehicles has sky rocketed so unless they pull their finger out theyre predicting demand for charging points will outstrip supply by 2025. Batteries also have a limited life span and I have no desire to get lumbered with old tech or expensive replacement costs. But I was offered a superb deal, far far too good to turn down, they’ll have it back at almost exactly what I paid for it anytime in the next three years. Its ex demo and boy they do not hold their value at all! In the meantime I get to mess about on a bike that is so quick out the gate its frightening and Ill get shot of it before things move on.

Stop a few time along the way to get blood flow to my ass.

Looks like I'll be out this morning!

This will be a Harley forum soon.

Not if you are part esquimo, which part, who knows? Maybe the scrotum.

So the only Ride Reports this weekend appear to be me and @Marcel? The rest of you need to get a grip!

All of those things have happened to me more than once with different iterations but maybe iPhones are crap?

Great looking sky, so it's warm there is it?

Box, rack, and handguards at some point Bob!

No it wasn't.....it was a sort of heat haze! Hope we're not getting that orange sand back again!

Looks windy in your video was a warm breeze or cooling

I looked it up and that's 56kg in a unit I understand. Seems to me if you really want to show off you should get some meat and muscle to go with your bones.

Just trying a paronamic shot

Does Jesus love gingers ?

That's a brave choice and not just because it's a Harley. I fell that anyone buying an electric vehicle at the moment is just a guinea pig, the manufacturers and the government are not telling whole truths.

Trip to Baza perchance

Oh ffs..... Im re - joining adventure butt rider

I cant tell you cos I'll be a dead woman walking... Is a Harley L_v_w_r_ Shit I had to tell you all at some point You know I already occasionally ride a Harley low rider? Double shit.. gotta go now

Like 27c with humidity 30 something is pretty well my limit... Morning was excellent.. 23c.

A frontal lobotomy by the sound of it!

Ya there just a bunch of wankers... Buck being the biggest... Anyway if a harley had fallow me today.. Bits would have fallen off for sure..

You truly live in a dessert... Its not the case here.... Nice one Pete...

Oh ya the last bunch of pics are from route 299... It cuts across the penesula mid way... That where the highness elevation are.... Well I'm beat.. Covered just over 1100 km in 2 days... The bike is a mess... Needs a good wash and a chain service... Now to plan my next trip... Im on holiday.. Yay!!!

Was surprise to see snow on the caps... It was 30c today.

Well another excellent day.. The bike preform like it should.. No hick ups... A full day of mountain roads... Twists.. Some off road...

I repaired a puncture , cleaned the brake caliper and fitted new pads. That ain't ever going to happen in your world @XTreme

yes we went to fleetwood today and it was warm there too

think you could be right there Pete

That's all i use is an old mobile phone with no sim card if you get the right one there's no problems with it the only thing you got right is it don't like being left in direct sunlight i have a case to keep the mud out but the phone itself is waterproof it has a brightness adjustment so it can be seen in bright sunshine i haven't had any problems in the cold and I've been out in the cold but i only use it in the uk might be different abroad

We have an adventure frog in our garden, he climbs up the flower basket

One of of my all time favourites. I tried to cut off someones phone rant yesterday by saying can we talk about something else? They angrily replied "what do you want to talk about? Hm? Fluffy kittens?"

I’m glad we cleared that up.

Oh I don't have time... You have to download and app or something... Now that I have the Garmin... It would look awfully stupid going down the road with 2 gps going wouldn't it?

Marcel! What’s the point of having that tv screen for a dashboard if you don’t bother with it? Ask the guys at KTM or whatever to set it up.

Ya but I have no frigen idea how it works.... Im not to computer savvy ya know

Same, works well in England elsewhere meh. You have to find it on google maps then find that point on the Garmin map to navigate to it. Rubbish. I asked Garmin about it and it was the usual crap. Still it beats having your phone pack up cos its too hot, or cold or wet and oh the suns too bright for the crappy screen, oh liquid detected its stopped charging, oh balls it won't image stabilise anymore, oh FFS stop the txt alert banners covering the instructions..

All done with the install... Now to see if I can really get lost next week or maybe over the weekend... I have no curfew like most of you twats...

Its to keep the foreigners out
