Perfect riding weather over here today - blue skies all day with a very reasonable temp of around 18 degrees C this afternoon.
Managed to squeeze in around 100 miles - just lovin' this bike more each time I jump on it and despite running in and keeping the revs to no more than 3500-4000 it still turns in a fair bit of accelleration and cruises nicely at about 75 mph.
Tyres are scrubbed in and I've got used to the relatively long wheelbase - great fun chucking it in to roundabouts and twisties.
Good mpg - computer showing average of 74mpg (UK) - good enough for me. Great sound from the IXIL too.
For anyone who remembers GP riders of the 70s, the pic of my bike outside the large gates - that was Barry Sheene's place (before he went out to Oz) which is about four miles from where I live. Spot the NC in the bike meet pic too.
