Been struggling lately with sportsbikes because of the riding position, and my xvs650 was a nice comfy ride but was like a snail, so I have been looking at some bigger cruisers, then last week I took a triumph speedmaster out on a test ride.

A week later the xvs is gone and this has taken it's place :)

Shame the weekend weather is supposed to be pants.

Rode a Vinduro a couple of weeks back in Northumberland and took the old KTM for a bit of a change over the little XR - took a lap or so to get back into it, then soon after the front wheel bearing collapsed (again). Grabbed buzzsurgeon's spare bike (DR350) for a lap, then he got a puncture so he jumped on the DR while I fixed the puncture on his Husky and I got a lap in on that. I may have DNF'd, but I was the only person to get timed round the special test on three different bikes :biggrin:

 

The little XR's still feeling a bit sorry for itself after it's last outing - a hare and hounds in Wales. Hugely underpowered but it tried hard.

After investigating a rattly top end a few months ago (found the cam welding itself to the head :blushing:), finally got round to getting little Yella back together ready for it's first MOT in several years.

 

Decided (maybe rather foolishly) to enter it in this years Ryedale Rally, though thankfully I'll be scored in with the few Vinduro bikes rather than the modern rally/rally lite/enduro/trail bikes.
