Ride it .. don't rubbish it.
...but only on the roads remember as we aren't allowed trails as all the land in Wales is privately owned even most of the national parks which are largely in the hands of rich old family's and Farmers
Much of the oppression in Wales is home grown, not really any need to blame other nations
Actually managed a ride yesterday with only a brief shower whilst out but I probably need a few more days like that to stop me coming here to whinge and write crap
Today of course it's back to pissing down
I wasn't blaming other nations, I was referring to my own nation .. the British nation.
.
anyway.

.Yeah ... I managed a late ride. I did an few hours maintenance in the road bike.. NC750 .. DCT reset (stops the rumble which seems to build up from the gears/engine), adjusted and oiled chain(took ages as i only needed to turn one flat of the adjuster bolt, but over tightened it), inflated both tyres to correct pressure (they were 22 psi lol.. I'm not using the guy in Treorchy anymore as this has happened with his work before) took ages with a tiny hand pump. slightly freed the brake calipers .. but they need a thorough re,assembly. , sorted out the frunk (false tank) tools spares excess tools removed etc.
Keeriyst .. my legs were killing, this morning, just from squatting.
.. but a nice rideout .. the engine was smooth again, brakes slightly better, road holding massively improved, less wobble at stops as tyres ok.
Felt a lot better when I got back.
Bike put away ready for a TRF ride soon to North wales via small B roads, o dear.. hard work, as will be muddy backroads and flooded small roads, again. ...... but will test my Forma boots out.

Join the TRF ... no trails?? .. they have a Green Road Map that shows you all the legal and verified green lanes, UK.
Lanes you would never know were legal.
