@yannis a lovely bike and defintiely more confortable than a sportsbike, but I'd imagine it has more power than the Panigale V2 I used to have, and that was too fast for the road. It only came alive over 70mph and even with my very limited talent to enjoy the bike's performance meant that I was going very quickly indeed.
I think somewhere around 120-130bhp is the sweet spot for usable road power. The Triumph 1200 twins are a little below that, around 100bhp, but still plenty quick enough 99% of the time.

Beautiful evening. Went on a nice ride today -
Club ride today. Up to Fort Ross and back on some truly spectacular Nor Cal roads. The weather was cool and foggy in the early morning. But the sun came out brilliantly after that. Stayed cool enough for leathers with vents open. I’ve attached a route map if you’re interested. Didn’t have time for a lot of pictures as the roads were fairly technical and the pace was somewhat brisk.

@goosehd I got a battery charger you can use. Come on over and pick it up
Sorry to hear about the setback.

@goosehd what a buzzkill!
-
@goosehd the trickle charger still may save it. I left mine unplugged one winter, plugged the battery conditioner back in and it was fine. Probably tempting fate but it's still on its first battery.
The Thruxton had its first ride of the season...to the garage. It needs an MOT, a service and I'm getting riser bars added because my back is fucked and I need a more upright position.

Spotted at the Club last night: Brother Kevin’s Harley is sporting some pretty fancy suspension components:

More from the Club last night: Another one of Kalle’s Indians, JC’s blackout Harley and Eric’s recently put together ‘72 Tiger.

I prefer open face helmets, however it’s Windy as Fvck at the Jersey Shore and winters are brutal. Picked up the Simpson M30 Slipline and love it.
