Very nice to still be riding in November  8).

I need to take three bikes for MOT tomorrow (subject to rain!). The VFR hasn't even been out this year, the RE was due in September and the NC30 hasn't been out of the garage since I finished it! Life gets very busy when trying to sell and buy a house!

It does seem unusual Dave. I only put Kitty the 500K1 in the conservatory for the winter last week, Millie the 550 mongrel is still out, the 750K6 was ridden about 10 days ago, all the other bikes are winter hacks anyway. If this is the effect of ElNino, bring it on.

Enjoying some motorcycling here in Orkney during some nice settled days. Although temp in the 10c region not finding cold with heated grips and seat. The old classics away for the winter. Here’s a Japanese vs Chinese pic taken during a coffee and cake run.

I ride my bike throughout as long as weather not too horrendous.  My car is broken at the moment anyway so I have exciting trips like going to work or to the dentist as in this instance. 🤣

If the bike does get laid up I always find it’s tedious trying to get it working again after standing.

Looking good , since the last photo you have a 'comfort' seat fitted.

Enjoy!
