It's a quiet old day here, forecast was for rain, so planned nothing, then it didn't rain, so did nothing anyway. So sitting here and trying to get the blog sorted. Made a monumental F*#k up and copied about 300 images into the page only to realise that most were double ups, so had to go back one by one and delete them. If there are any double ups well all good for you, because you get to see them twice.. Been out and about on my new ( to me ) Multistrada, Ohlins, all the bells and whistles, luggage ( this was a must), and I am pretty impressed with how well it goes. far better then the last one that's for sure. Only 9000 K's on the clock and in pretty great condition. Had the full Desmo service done on it, new belts etc etc, so it's ready for the summer and into the new year. Looking forward to that. Thinking of heading down south in February for a couple of weeks of fine weather riding. Since I started this blog ( this episode), I've managed to put another 1000 K's on the Multi, I am so impressed with the Ohlins on it, just soaks up the bumps and so true through the corners, no deflection no nothing, just soaks it all up. Looking forward to summer. Anyways enough I hear you cry, give me some delightful images to pour over, so here you go.

I do like them in Blue, even though it's not an original color for them, still looks pretty smart

Hmmmm, noyt entirely sure, but what ever floats your boat I guess

In a work shop far far away

In another life a long time ago.

I do like these, and this color scheme is spot on. Now this model will get the new engine I'm picking 57Kg's is light for a 900cc engine and with 126 Hp it should fly.

It's messy, but I understand how this came about

Just about as perfect as you can get on two wheels. Just stunning. Take your time to look at this. A nice mix of old and semi new.

Always wanted one of these. nearly had one a couple of years ago, but it fell through.

Had a close look at one of these just the other day, I like the way they have put it together, it kind of has the simplicity of a race bike but with all the modern day functions that you have come to expect.

yes please, I'd have one today if I could

Queen Street back in the day

I'm always reminded of 111 when I see this colour scheme. He pretty much owns it really.

Old lizard ride. Stopped in Ngongataha for a quick coffee

There you go. This is what i wanted to do to that bike if I had bought it

 

I'll bet he never used 7 different tools just to remove the fairing

My new Multi.

OK, how do they make these?

No more Desmodronics for Ducati

Jason and Daniel on the Planet Design Kawasaki's

It's not a very wide engine that's for sure

Just because OK!!!!

Dont know about the glasses but agree with the sentiment



Looking forward to full on summer thats for sure
