Had a steady-away ride out with a 'just passed his test' friend. We did 160 miles and the 9er used half a tank.
Home - through Hawes (mental - are there no other cafes in Yshire?) camera van present just before Hawes, over Buttertubs and up to Tan Hill (also flat out with visitors), down to Brough and on past Selsett res, Stanhope - Crawleyside, towards Castleside - Consett - Durham - Home again.
Sunny n dry, summer gloves n warm with grips on 30%.
I'll find out if he enjoyed the ride on Monday

Steady indeed. 
Seat bedding in yet ? That seat Ramo sold recently was one by Tony Archer, remembering our chat about seats.
I had to nip over to Ollerton this am and it was chocka on the roads, and at the Green Hut, didn't even bother stopping off.

No riding for last two months due to clavicle repair (again). Battery died whilst the bike waited patiently for my return. Recharged battery and then lost one of the terminal screws deep in the body work when hooking up accessories. Everything connected and running, just needs an oil and filter change now and I'm back on the road.

Three weeks to the day since ordering, I have possession of a Nitron shock for the 9er. Just need to find time to fit it.

Got a second key cut. £11 at Timpsons.
Seems a bit pricey, but what can you do, can't just have one working key.

11 quid ! They stuck the boot in there Sphere. 
Priceless when you need to use it though.

I’m in the middle of removing, cleaning and regreasing ‘The Bush’. Everything came apart okay, it’s cleaned up and ready for lithium grease and reassembly!

sorted out my engine bars;
They got a bit scratched (due to the bike falling over either side) and I wanted to fit some GS style highway pegs which needed a larger tube.
Got the tubes welded in and powder coated at Atherton Creative Engineering ACE
Dan has done great job

Made a tool to hold the fork innards, then put new seals in.
M20 bolt and a bit of tube from Homebase.
