Just time on the bike to arrive at a set up that suits you .

Dont waste any money on any aftermarket kit , it will make no difference at best .


Most important thing , a very accurate tyre pressure gauge , thats all you need

Some pics from my 340 mile ride today if anyone is interested







Wouldn't dream of doing this in the S - too tiring. Weird how relaxing the bike is for long distances. I guess it's just the effortless power of the thing.

Only c 700 odd miles

There weren't that many other bikers out today - spent the morning on the A93 Perth to Braemar which is a popular route, and very quiet bikewise.

Folk must be already putting their bikes into hibernation - shame as it was a great day for it, dry and with a lot of the muck washed off the road by rain last night.
