Just been out on the Him for nearly 50 miles.

Although very hot, there is a lovely cooling breeze, with the vents open on my jacket no fear of overheating.

Would have liked to have taken the Speedmaster but I am currently in the process of changing handlebars.

After a 40 odd mile ride last week with the OE "Beachbars" my wrists were excruciatingly painful for nearly 2 days.

The beachbars mean that you grip the bars a bit like an old fashioned pushbike so your wrists are at an odd angle. And if you give it any beans you really have to hold on tight to the bars.

A lot of people report aching wrists after riding with the Beachbars - straight pair will be fitted when they eventually arrive.

One amusing thing on my ride, I came up behind one of those 40MPH everywhere drivers, had to follow them for quite some distance due to oncomming traffic, but 30 limit - constant 40, 50 and 60 a constant 40.

I was glad to pass him, I just wonder why they do it.
