Went for a beautiful ride today with a pal and his Ural outfit. Started from Aigurande, then Bonnat, Guéret, Bourganeuf and finally Lac Vassivière. Returned via Peyrat Le Chateau. Here's the two machines au bord du lac : The weather was perfick, 30°, slight breeze and blue skies. Had a meal at a resto next to the lake. Couldn't have been a nicer day
Trip to Honda HQ today to meet their events team. They conceded to a Thruxton parked out front - I accepted I looked like a 'London business w@nker'...shameful. ...and cracking triumph day at ace cafe Sunday.
Trip to Hilltop Motorcycles, 117 miles each way, but welll worth it. No more fluffiness and more power and torque throughout the range. Why don't triumph employ this man? Regards to all. Matt
The price we pay to meet Euro noise and emission reg's I'm afraid, plus variations from motor to motor. You've now got a "proper job", looking good, yep worth the trip.
Impressive ! Is that tuned via the ecu? Wonder what he could do with the full arrow system on mine.... Time to check the funds
Tc, Yes, the ecu is remapped and not detectable when you have it serviced. I am told that the software auto corrects for varying weather conditions, fuel etc and can also adjust should you change exhausts/air filters etc. My bike just felt flat compared with the S1000r I had previously.. it's much better now! Long ride though 250 miles for the return trip. Still looking forward to a trip to Loomies with you at some point. Cheers Matt
I daresay we'll be going to Loomies or the Departure Lounge at some point over the weekend I'll let you know.
I struggle to multitask because I used to be a lady! You need to cut me some slack you transphobic b*stards! I spat in your tea BTW
I really enjoyed the day to be honest, spending time with people that share an interest is never a chore! How did your GS turn out? I would like to see the comparison graph. How many miles did you tell the wife you travelled and did it only cost £20? Very funny!! Best regards Matt
