    First time out on a litre bike. Didnt get to give it too much stick but very impressed. Thought the standard exhaust sounded pretty good when you get up in the rev range, cant wait to get the yoshi on and hear that!

    Day was cut short when about 20 miles in I realised i no longer had a number plate.

    Found it 2 corners away from my house, in bits lol.

    Yeh the weather down south is bonkers right now, 13c!! Glad you enjoyed your ride fella but you might want to try fixing the plate with a little bit more double sided tape and some plastic bolts!...

    It was all coming off anyways for smaller plate and tail tidy, bit annoyed it was delivered with only a strip of sticky tape holding it on though, didnt stand a chance lol.

    Seen 2 bikers heading home and both pointed out the missing plate. Nice to be back on a bike!

    I had 16 deg on the thermometer today... And that was in the frozen north of englandia...

    Sadly no riding, just had major work done at home so started my decorating prep.

    I have always secured plate with a couple of strips of heavy duty velcro and never had a problem (plate size 7 x 5) saves drilling a hole through plate,
