For reasons, this beauty hasn't been started in a while, fresh fuel and a new battery she fired right up Obviously going to check her over properly before putting a fresh MOT on Don't let anyone tell you Italian bikes are unreliable 😂 #motosky

Well after 7 and and half years, this bike has been sold It's taken us across Europe a number of times and brought much joy Cruise control and a radio made it great tourer, it's just too big and bulky when you get anywhere to enjoy the twisty roads to the fullest I will miss it though #motosky

Trip to France occasionally turned into a bit of a nightmare because the nav kept getting it wrong (mainly in towns) Need a new set up I think, looking for something small though All the sat nav/mirror devices seem to be massive #motosky

It's 2am we've just arrived home from Sarbruecken Due to Eurotunnel delays and the fact the the UK doesn't know what a contraflow is apparently (A1 closed again!) The screen is just too bright on Multistrada and night, have to cover it with Duct tape What a trip home! #motosky

Here's one of the problems I have with 'AI' Everything seems to be given the moniker A.I This is what we used to call special effects, it's just done in a different way now Spell check, which has been around for ever, is now called AI Much of it isn't new, just relabelled

I think Liverpool fans may need to taper expectations this season Only 3 'first choice' midfielders Poor full backs Chiesa the only right winger A top 4 push is the only realistic aim I'll reserve excitement till Barcola has played a few games - £100m has been spent before with little return

Scammers will try won't they 20 minutes after posting the Royal Star for sale, we get scam requests (They ask for you to do a hpi check, then refuse it asking you to use their link where they get your bank card details) What a world we live in 🙄 #motosky

Wheels are off the 749 for tyres No 28mm socket to take the front off, no problem I thought, used an adjustable wrench, Halfords or Euro car parts will have one Nope Screwfix or Toolstation maybe, nope GSF car parts, nadda It's no wonder bricks and mortar stores are going under 😡 #Motosky

It's not just Silverstone tickets it's the whole event, (some is out of their control) Kids u-16 free is a start (Mugello is €1) Portimao is free For reference below is the cheapest ticket at Portimao this year so it'll cost me €60 (£51) for the weekend Silverstone this year was £140 for Sunday

This one got me thinking, to my surprise, they actually have the lowest rates other than summary motoring offences

Decided to just get new (used) silencers for the Royal Star off a Harley Electra Glide as they were a bargain.... Had more trouble putting them on than I'd hoped for (they're supposed to be a direct fit) Anyway they're on now and sound like the god of thunder is on his way 😂 #Motosky

This will explain some of the popping and banging on the xvz1300 Do I A) try use some kind of longer clamp (probably not) B) buy Harley Road King pipes and figure how to cover the gap to the silencer C) buy a new set of OEM pipes (by far the most expensive option)

Carbs cleaned, still running rich (exhaust pop) with a bit of hang up on idle.... No air leak that I can find Time for some fuel cleaner and an 'Italian tune-up ' #Motosky

Where do go from here Sticking slide Do I (A) put things back together after loosening it and see if it works even though a sticking slide is unlikely to have caused the symptoms (B) Keep going, remove and clean the carb with the chance it doesn't need to be cleaned (It'll be B 😆) #Motosky

Out and about today.... Feels better with the Nav in the middle, more balanced (obviously it does because there's not a big weight on one handlebar) #motosky

Can't say I'm overly pleased with this (we knew it was coming) Two 'media darlings' in the factory Ducati team #Motogp

Moved the sat nav.... It was on a bracket on the left handlebar and looked awful This looks much neater and more 'OEM' #motosky

Another one bites the dust Until Brexit is addressed properly and a Prime Minister stops trying to muddle their way through it, it'll keep happening.... 7 Prime Ministers in 10 years 🤦‍♂️

Chalet Raticosa on the s65 Futa Pass from Bologna to Florence I did the road last year and again today, it's without doubt the best road I've ever ridden #motosky
