 For people who like nature and motorcycles this thread might be interesting..

I do love to ride even in the winter here in the UK and want to share pictures with this forum. 

The roads I usually ride in winter are around Essex, Kent and Surrey I guess as they are the most convenient to get too. 

Love the small roads in this country especially on Saturday and Sunday morning when you can stop and enjoy the silence. 

More pictures to follow 😁😁

Yesterday the weather wasn't great it has been raining for almost 4 days now and I was feeling a tad low cause I haven't been on the bike the whole week so in the afternoon a small opportunity arrived... 🌞🌞🌞 Was up for about 10 min and I jumped and put my gear on.

Took the cover of the bike started and jumped on with enthusiasm as if it was 25 degrees Celsius and sunny. 

Next week I'm off and if the rain transforms into showers and I can get my bloody phone hooked up to get the routes up an running I will be testing myself and the bike for some longer days in the saddle. The photos stop here as I'm not allowed to upload anymore. 😭😭😭

Have a good weekend and safe riding.

Bike has reached the 720 miles mark and the dealer has performed the first service... Seems to be a bit smoother now after the oil change but this might be placebo effect. 

Weather hasn't been amazing  but still managing to go out in burst of 2 to 3 hours and enjoying the ride. 

Hope for better weather soon and more exciting stories to tell.

Beautiful day today and I've managed a nice ride of around 124 miles... 9 degrees and sunny but with patches of wet roads.. Loving this bike... Still haven't decided on the seat?? 

I don't know if I should spend the money on it or not.

Short ride today only to test the new levers and adjust them... Would like to put more miles on them but first impressions are very nice... Perfect fit and they look so much better... One of the things I didn't like about the stock ones.. 

It's nice and dry out there and the grip levels are good... This bike still amazes me how good it handles even on the stock tyres.. Once they are gone some nice road tyres are coming for more grip. 😎😁

I also released my t7 today.  Off road still a very good bike, only the original tires are nothing for the mud.  Soon some more off-road oriented tires underneath.  I doubt between the Michelin anakee wild, continental tkc 80, or the bridgestone ax41.  (I have heard the bridgestone's also seems to do very well.)

People seem to give good reviews for the ax41... I was going for the a41 but couple of my friends with Gs1250 recommended the continental trail attack 3 or something like that. 

 

Good luck with your choice

Your bmw friends are right the continental trail attack 3 are one of the best road oriented allroad tires on this moment. (he wins many reviews) For me it's not nobby enough 😁

Tail tidy weekend I call it... Why? For two reasons.. One it is the best thing that has ever happened to this bike... Looks are amazing... 

Two: told the bike after I've fitted it that I need to test it and gave me the opportunity to go for a ride around beautiful countryside. 

Dry roads meant I could push a bit more and we are batting to know each other and the confidence is growing. Direction change is very nice now that I've turned up the rear a bit. 

Home run as I call it, stretched towards Bradwell on Sea... The roads are nice, with curves for 2nd to 3rd gear rolls but also long sweepers where you can stretch her legs a bit... Good quality tarmac.... If you ever around this part of the world please have a look as it might be worth it.

I've been once in my life in UK, for seven days. It was strange for my to drive on left hand side. 😉 

If I would be somewhere around one day I'll try those roads.😊

Looking great. I raised my forks 10mm through the yokes which makes it even more fun and easier to throw around. I barely notice it has a 21 inch front wheel. No stability issues either I should add.

Thank you for the advice... Could be my next mod but I'm a bit reluctant to do it... 🤔😂

It's fine and dead easy to do with everything in situ. Easy access to bolts. If you gently undo the last of the pinch bolts you can ease each leg through gently. Do one at a time and tighten that side back up gently. Do the other side and tighten up after remeasuring again. 15 mins tops.
