I actually thought about meeting billinom8s this morning but work all week kids up early so didnt really want to get up 30 mins earlier than I had to any way so I got out for a little ride left home 8.45 ish got home a little after ten was a good little ride to dust of the cobwebs was quite roads also result

Me & the good lady were out yesterday.
Out over to Minehead, grabbed some fuel & then on to Lymouth and finally back across Exmoor to home - 160 miles(ish) in total.

Was a bit achy towards the end but getting my riding stamina back.
Gonna do a longer one tomorrow I think, probably over to Bude.
I plan on getting a few rides in now to tide me over in case a second spike happens and we all get locked down again.

Managed to get out on Bunny67 Superduke 990 on Thursday. First time that I have ridden a naked for any real distance and got to ride it the way i like to ride at my own pace just to try and get used to the bike and riding a twin. Did from Teignmouth to Holsworthy through the usual lovely a roads an country side. Was a blood epic ride loved it.
Do I now love naked bikes = Yes (so easy to ride)
Am I ok with a twin = Yes
Would I want a twin as my own bike = Maybe not still prefer a 3 of 4 pot.

Ride it more, you'll learn.

[menzies3032]

Just might be doing that

Part of the trick is learning not to ride a twin like a four - use higher gears and enjoy the torque and midrange rather than revving it lots. The relaxed nature of a twin is much easier to live with on the roads, you’re not always looking for another gear.

You can also make good pace without sounding like you are, another feature of a big twin that can be very relaxing.

The big difference that I have noticed is that been 4000 and 8000 revs the torque and the drive is totally the same. On everything else i have ridden you get a power curve and as you go up the revs you get a greater acceleration. Its a very different feeling as you bang up the box as you have no sense of speed change it all stays at the same pull...

Its defiantly a different type of ride. Biggest complaint is how vibie it is my feet are numb by the time i get home don't get that on a 3 or 4 pot.

But hey its got 2 wheels and an engine and the suspension and handling is excellent so not going to complain to much.
