Finally I'll be able to ride my bike! Looks to be a bit warm though!

But I will be out nevertheless!

What about you lot?

Clearly, I won’t be out on either of my bikes. Instead I’ll be moaning and generally mooching about with my bottom lip dragging on the floor.

I did consider getting a two wheel fix on the mountain bike but it’s far too hot.

No mate, no spark whatsoever despite fitting  new plugs, coil and HT leads, new cdi and checked the stator is working. Going to get an electrical expert to check the whole wiring loom thoroughly. I’m wondering if the thirty odd year old loom is earthing out somewhere.

I’m clutching at straws now. 🤣

It could well be that, Suzuki looms definitely deteriorate over time.  That was usually the reason for selling my DR350's, mostly it was rot at the connectors.  Check all the electrical connectors, give the wires a slight tug on all of them.

Not enough content for a Ride Report, but took a little shortcut through some familiar farm access dirt roads, just enough to get my boots dusty

Decided it was time for a ride this afternoon. Short of ideas as towhere to go so fired up the pootah, opened Kurviger, programmed "twisty route", then "Circuit" andturned the heading arrow just eastof North and hit "Go".

How french is this?!DSC05341.thumb.JPG.5b6084ef6690eb68c72a63f3d4c5368d.JPG

and across arable lowlands. All pretty dry at the moment but the trees are still green.DSC05353.thumb.JPG.41bf095b53276891f9bef708058998ea.JPG

Unstable weather here today, about 27 c and high humidity. fairly dominant cloud cover but no rain.

Good to be out on the bike again. 👍

Well I did 470 miles over the weekend, slept two nights under canvas, drank beer and whisky and whiskey, had lunch with a beautiful woman, made some new friends and now I’m home changing the oil on the bike. I’m a fucking legend, you lot need to respect my authority.
