.... for the first time in probably two years (other than taking it to the
MOT place a few days ago).

I say, these motorcycle things are jolly fast, aren't they?

I'd probably best get a few mile sunder my belt before the TOG-tour.

I'm sure there must have been at least 2 days in the last 6 months that
I didn't ride, but I can't remember them.

Likewise. Neither of mine are particularly fast but i actually rode both
yesterday! XV to my son's, backfiring all the time when off load, so that
was 2 miles (it is about to have its tci administered new 't's when they
arrive). Then i rode the GS back. Plan was to take it straight back but the
barriers for the level crossing came down as i approached so i went for a
quick blast the other way and returned just as the barriers went up.
Perfect timing for once.

So nice to feel the wind in ones hair and the sun on ones back etc. I
appreciate that some people here may experience things the other way round
:-)

I'm hoping to do so soon. My 400f has had its gearbox issue resolved, and I'm trying to find time to get to the shop to collect it - but I'm away all week and they don't open on Saturdays.

My mileage may vary!

Hah, I do recall BOTAFOTing the 400 when I had it, and it could do a
perfectly fine job of keeping up with all but the keenest
participants. It's not the machine, but the way you ride it. Was
helped, at that point, by the all-but-useless front brake (later
improved to be vaguely finctional) which meant that there was no point
trying to slow down for the corners anyway.

I have found a style born out of having poor brakes and older engines
that need to be "spinning" to accelerate - the kind of bikes that the
brake, point, squirt approach won't work with [1].

It does mean I can carry quite a lot of corner speed quite comfortably.

[1] I put 400 miles on one this weekend.

I dragged the Guzzi out this weekend. I'd forgotten that once it's
moving it's quite nippy. If also very heavy and quite brutal - and
surprisingly small.

You'd think after all this time I'd remember.

On the subject of safety nazis, the Beeb carried this report of a
Nigerian[1] boy who has converted his bike into a motorbike.
<https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-africa-61154448>

They've made him wear a crappy-old helmet in all the shots of him riding
the thing. Given that none of the riders of the many mopeds seen in the
background are wearing helmets, I'm surprised they managed to find one
for him.

[1] Not that the Beeb could be bothered to actually name the country -
'Africa' is close enough for them.

They *are*! The gsxr made me very smiley today and I did one of my most
enjoyable leans ever on a 270 degree motorway junction. Just a couple of
hours buzzing around at mostly legal mph till the fuel light came on.
