I had an afternoon in the garage putting some new bits on the tiger. Some new metal hand guards to protect the plastic wind guards.
A Givi locking tank bag mount.
A side stand foot.
And the crash bar bags I recently bought on Temu.

Yes apart from the crash bar bags. The handover took place in Gretna lol

I took advantage of a window in the weather and just did an 80 mile ish round trip to Midwest Moto for a nose at the lovely bikes and kit and to get a coffee and another stamp in the passport. I like coming here because you always get a companion or three when you sit down

It hasn’t started here but looks threatening so I nipped out at lunchtime and cleaned the M1 grime off the Sprint from our Silverstone trip. The advantages of working from home.

Weather tomorrow is looking very good so I plan on doing a day in the Peak District, but the good weather started after lunch so I got greedy and did a 100 miles today too 
During the ride I felt something bounce up the inside of my jacket sleeve, then a stinging sensation that seemed to grow over a few seconds. So I promptly slammed on the anchors and unzipped jacket sleeve to try and shake out whatever was in there. Didn’t find anything other than a bee sting sticking out the inside of my forearm which I pulled out. Not sure if I’ve ever been stung by a bee before, I’ve now got a two inch swollen patch but it doesn’t hurt much unless I press it.

I got stung by a bee once. £8 for a jar of honey.
…I’ll get my coat.

1 hour of total ride yesterday with the Sprint ST 1050 here and there.
Even after riding a “modern bike” I totally assume, I’m still enjoying the ST. It’s fast, fun, and much nicer that the Honda NT.
I’m not the only one there to embrace bike polygamy isn’t it
