Went out for a little ride today and managed to loose the screw that holds my bar end mirror.

Wish I'd checked mine. Excuse to pick up some new mirrors I suppose

I don't know why I didn't go down the street triple path straight after the SV, it's an epic little bike.
Definitely much more enjoyable to me than the blackbird but I'm glad I've at least experienced a straight line rocket.
I sat and added up roughly what the previous owners have spent on aftermarket parts and it comes in just over £3k by my guess

I went SV650, Street Triple, Tuono 1100 Factory, MT-10 (and R6 track bike), Duke 890R.
My next bike will be in quite a few years, I imagine when electric bikes take off. I really like light bikes, around the 160-170kg region, and electric will be porkers for decades.
What's the 890R like compared the to the STR?
Very similar weight and handling, 20% more power, and extremely noticeable increase in torque.
Add blipper, QS, cruise, IMU, full electronics package, TFT screen, and the best brakes on the market and you have a superb package. Twins sound great too
It was a very easy decision between the 890R and the Street Triple 765 RS, even though I loved that bike.
It’s the only bike that has ever convinced me to buy new. I’ve owned some great bikes but this blows them out of the water, even the Tuono 1100 Factory.

We've got to be in the office one day a week these days, I made sure today was my day and I'm taking the long way home

Rode to the office today - probably shouldn't, as I injured my back - so feeling EVERY imperection on the road when riding! Ouch, but we'll probably get snow next week, so might as well try and enjoy it

Mot passed today.
Advisory for noisy exhaust (standards) bent brake pedal which it has been for years and front tyre near legal limit.
The guy said he was really impressed on how well the Michelin Road 5's had evenly worn. I will definitely buy those again.

Yeah, it's just Five minutes up the road from me, Lyle Hill, view is from the free French memorial.
Can someone tell me the bar clamp hole spacing please on a Tiger 800?, i bought some swmotech bar backs on ebay second hand and think they may not fit, they are the right 28mm size but i think the hole spacing might be off, not had a chance to try mounting them yet.
