                I'm moving out of London on Thursday. Today I found that the local scooter shop, which is less than five minutes walk from my flat, has started offering a slightly more exciting range.

                This is the first MV Augusta Brutale Dragster RR in the UK. Want.

                  I moved out of London today, on a very heavily loaded motorbike. I stopped off in Richmond to post a few letters and saw my bike's sexier little sister.

                  The R1200R is a lot dowdier, but (as you can see in the photo) you can strap panniers and an enormous bag to it, and it'll still behave. It's a highly capable machine, and I sat in sixth gear at around the speed limit (70 mph / 120 km/h) all the way up, and despite the added weight, it didn't miss a beat.

                  The fuel gauge is a different matter. I had it fixed a few weeks back, and it's gone again. 😞

                  The ride up wasn't entirely fun. When I set out it was 3 degrees Celsius (37 degrees Fahrenheit), and didn't get much about 8 degrees Celsius (46 degrees Fahrenheit). Plus it started to rain towards the end. I covered around 260 miles (420 km), and arrived here just after dark, in the rain. I felt pretty wiped out, naked bikes are not good in this sort of weather.

                  But heated grips FTW! The side panels also warmed up from the engine, and kept my legs toasty if I squeezed the bike.

                      I'm currently in South Cumbria. I moved out of my flat in East Sheen today, and then will be heading to Australia (Sydney or Melbourne) in the not so distant future.

                          @Graeme good luck with your travels and I hope you can take your MC with you to Australia.  That long trip in the cold and rain does not sound like fun, but at least it's behind you and you arrived safe and sound.

                          I'm assuming that big brown bag is all of your Iron Heart gear!

                            Best of luck on the move @Graeme. I agree that heated grips are a lifesaver.

                              Record high temperatures have been nice. Each day I think it's the last possible ride of the year.  A quick attachment of the GoPro to the passenger peg after work Friday.

                                    Great shots from the GoPro, I'd love to get one myself.

                                      @Bluegrass most of my IH gear is in a crate heading to Australia. Reports that the ship is listing are somewhat exaggerated…

                                          This definitely is not the norm. It's usually a lot colder and with snow. I'll take it. Skiing can wait a few more weeks 🙂
