WSB & MOTOGP are about the only things worth watching on TV at the moment, then as winter approaches it’s onto ski jumping. :)

Went out and did another 77 miles this morning.

The weekend warriors are a bunch of twats.

I would say only 2 in 10 nodded or waved back at me and they ride like wankers.

Saw one light blue R1250RT who was parked up and he waved back.

also saw another RT on the same back road to whom i waved to and he just rode passed.

Had a nice little chat with a guy on a 2014 grey GS at Abber.

Then came the long way home with a little blast on the last bit of duel before hitting town.

all in all a nice little ride.

Changed:
- engine oil + filter
- air filter
- spark plugs
- transmission oil
- final drive oil

Still need to change tyres and fork seals and adjust CO a tad richer.

Otherwise this old Massey-Ferguson does its thing quite well. :idea:

Received the HifLo filter (HF164) along with 5ltrs of the best Smith and Allen oil that they can offer. Way too hot to put a helmet on let alone start working in the garage.
Not interested in the Olympics at all.

Don't like wet heat like we have here. Southern Europe heat suits me better.

Took the bike in for its MOT, passed with flying colours. Only covered 2887 mile in 12 months, most of that was on my trip to Holland in May. Need to get out more!!

She does that about 5 times during the routine, I think she's stretching it a bit. 😉
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)
