What Have You Done To Your Tdm Today?

[JohnnyW]

Took it for a 5 1/2 hour, 265 mile round trip from Tomintoul to the Premier Inn at South Queensferry to try out my new Shoei GT Air 2 helmet and also collect my wife's Samsung tablet that she conveniently left behind in our hotel room on Monday.🤬



At least it gave me a chance to have a good long run on the bike and check out a few things. Overall the bike ran great and managed 75mpg running down the A9 at a steady 60mph.🤗 The suspension was fine on smooth surfaces but hitting the odd pothole or sharp edged repair patch was another matter.😮 The front forks have ATF fluid in them but are too stiff for me so will be planning to go back to 10 wt fork oil. The rear shock works but needs replacing. I had a Maxton shock fitted to my Mk2 850 with race tech emulators in the front forks so was a bit spoiled on the suspension front.😆

Came back up my favorite road, the A93 thru Blairgowrie, past Glenshee ski centre to Braemar and then onto the A939 to the Lecht ski centre and home. Overall a great day but my arse was aching by the time I got home so might have to look at doing something with the seat or alternatively eat more cakes and pies and build up a bit of padding.🤣
