Guildford to Leatherhead to Bognor Regis and back. 100 miles
Started out partly sunny, but quickly turned grey and mizzly. Ride home at 5pm was dark, full of road spray and fewer lairy overtakes.
Visited Polesden Lacy for a brew and walk around the gardens / borders of mud. Including their "spectacular" winter gardens which were spectacularly shit
Being facetious / unfair. Its actually another very good National Trust site if that's your thing. But obviously better in summer.

As I approached entrance to Polesdon, instantly recognised it as having been there a few times doing a green lane next to it.
On the way out, passed Steve Jordan Motorcycles. Bit of legend down here but didn't know exactly where it was, do now. Might be dropping a shock off to them for rebuild if I feck it up myself. I certainly won't be doing the Nitrogen refill, but hoping to find a garage closer that will.
Down to the olds at Bognor for some more tea and a natter. Splendid hoonary on route.
Ran out of bravery on the wet roads, but still enjoyed it.
Roadsmart 3's are not as good in cold/damp as I remember PR4's being. Front moved a bit in the bends when pushed. But they are 6k miles old, so had the best out of them.

Hasn't punctured it (miraculously). But was in vertically at 7mm. So am a little concerned of loading tyre.....but sure I'll forget about it after a while
So yeah. Enjoyed the riding (albeit a bit damp). Can't wait to have some sunny(ish) dry(ish) days before Christmas hopefully. |

Yeay, got a decent run out this afternoon, with the weather being a nice, mild & bright winters day !. Up to Manchester Airport, and back via Jodrell Bank, avoiding the motorways. Still waiting for my tank stickers to arrive !
Actually, only a little ride out, of about 130 miles in total ...

Pushed out the garage, then a couple hours later pulled back into garage...ha ha ha...cannot ride at the moment as had osteo pummel my shoulders (getting bike back into the garage was a bit painful), though my lifesaver move has now been restored...won't be long till I'm back in the saddle for a ride out. ____________________ Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter won't mind - Dr. Seuss |

Out for a couple of hours looping around local A, B and single-track roads just for the joy of it. Dry roads, fairly mild air and the Kawasaki on song. Considerate car drivers, and a good few bikers out and about too. |

I made use of the sunny weather to roll the gixer out to go and get some petrol. Two hours later I got home again having done pretty much all of the lovely biking roads in my local area.
Lots of other bikes out today and only a few knobby car drivers. I had a thoroughly lovely afternoon

Guildford to Climping via Goodwood on Gixxer (even left the topbox at home ).
85 miles
Sooooo many bikes out. It seems we come out when the Daffodils are out. Snowdrops, nope too early. Daffodils, LETS 'AV IT!

About 30 feet of erosion in 6 months. Busted through £2m worth of defences in 1/4 the time it took to put in place.

Sausage, chips, sun, tea and sea. Splendid. |

First ride out today since the Winter rebuilds and replacements. This was a stop off at Cambois, Northumberland.

Nothing came loose or fell off which was a surprise - only the gear selector required adjusting by one spline to position it better.
I did close to 100 miles and the new Pirelli tyres are turning out to be an excellent purchase. They're giving excellent grip and handling. Some folk here recommended them and it's a good choice.
I changed the chain and sprockets anyway but this time I've geared the bike for a little more top end speed. It's meaning that the engine can run national speed limit roads without screaming but I still have good acceleration.
I'm sat at my PC with a massive grin! ____________________ CCM 404 DS |

Guildford to Bognor and back via Goodwood.
80 miles......quite windy miles. On my Striple, so didn't feal it as much as a faired bike.
The cold and wind kept people off the roads. And while the damp patches, fresh collections of gravel, and cold wind kept a lid on some exuberance, really enjoyed it!

Only minor. They seem to have widened sections of the A285, which is a shame. I guess I'll just have to go faster |
