Yamaha XJR1300
Completely in my element: Minding my own business, stresses of day-to-day life temporarily forgotten, focused on nothing in particular other than the road ahead...
And someone goes and takes a bloody picture. ๐
Love it! ๐ค๐

First Hayling Bike Night of the season.
Nice weather so a decent turnout.
Will hopefully get to a few more over the summer. ๐

Sunshine, the countryside, a steak sarnie, and 1300ccs.
Beautiful. ๐๐ค

Had a broadband blokey round earlier. Apparently 'Enough for the kids to be online while I buy shit on ebay and watch a dodgy firestick: all with zero buffering' isn't a recognised desired speed-strength.
Weird.
Anyway all sorted now (allegedly) so went for a evening bimble... #motosky #xjr1300
Finally, a whole *checks notes* four hours of dry roads!!
(So went for a bimble and a coffee.๐)

Midnight fuel stop in the pissing rain after a crap shift at work...
Bike still looks ๐ mind.

Billet alternator cover for the #XJR1300.
Hardly the most bike changing customisation you can do, but still.
Looks loads better than the bit of pressed tin #Yamaha put on.

First #motosky contribution of 2026.
'A proper night out.'
Plenty more to come throughout the year I hope. #xjr1300
Get blown around like a bastard but God does it look better without the screen. ๐

Some designs seem to last forever with even later versions deriving from the success. Such is the Yamaha XJR1300 - an excellent roadster that handles well. #motosky #motorcycle #bikesky #bikersky #motorbike #yamaha #xjr1300
No evenings like this now the clocks have gone back. ๐ช
Still, we'll get out when we can. MOT next month too.๐ค #motosky #yamaha #xjr1300
Got a million jobs that need doing at home...
But it's nice out.

Nights are starting to draw in now.
Lovely, balmy evening for a blast though. ๐

Another much needed little bimble this evening. Nothing special, just half a tank and a coffee.
Can't beat it.

Portsmouth Harbour on a little solo evening bimble.
Always nice when passers-by stop and comment or chat, too. ๐

Looking forward to my next dry day off already.
Really do love this bike. So glad I finally decided to bite the bullet.

Not the brightest of afternoons, but at least it was dry enough to go and blow the cobwebs off. ๐
#motosky #yamaha #xjr1300
Everyday life, as well as bad weather on days off meant I hadn't ridden for a few weeks...
Those 'should I s*ll it' thoughts began creeping in.
... Until the second I rode off the drive again earlier.
Cracking machine, this. Love it. #bikesky #motosky #yamaha #xjr1300
Perfect afternoon for a Sunday blast.
Genuinely wonder sometimes, what *the hell* did I used to do on sunny evenings before owning a bike? ๐ค

One good thing about working lates is being able to go for a blast and a coffee in the sun before work. ๐
