Minus 2C this morning but it's dry and I haven't ridden for a while, so a quick trip to Aviemore for breakfast.

The track's muddy and the road is salty.

But, the sun's out and it's been too long. #motorcycle #R100GS

The track's been too rutted and muddy to get out recently, but recent repairs meant I could do the paper run on the old girl again.

Early morning ride on the #R100GS thwarted by gearchange problems.

Easily sorted when I got back home and I still got to enjoy a chilly morning on largely empty roads.

I haven't been able to ride the GS for three weeks, so to console myself I did all the small hobs I've been putting off.

Blimey, what a transformation!

Who'd have thought that looking after it properly would have made such a difference?

Fitted a single Corbin seat to the BMW, along with a Paris Dakar rack.

Not sure it's a keeper, but it's nice to mess around with period accessories, especially if they've got a similar patina.
