Junction 27 of the M4

Coming home on the M4, it was restricted to 50mph for road works (which were not obviously in progress!!).

Average cameras clocked me at 58mph

So, it was YOU with a camera outside my bathroom window in Wales, watching me 'birth' myself out of the tiny shower cubicle...!!

This used to be a Bike Forum - Not Slimming World!!

Welcome Nick. You're in good company. Dave Clough (Davecly) also has a 2016 Iconic, which has just ticked over 40,000 miles.

£70 is taking the Micky, they must have seen you coming

Where do you go Dr T? I'm also in West Sussex.

Thanks Sakm. With 5 bikes on the go, I think I should invest.

If it makes you feel better I have just fitted my own front for nothing!

What equipment do you use to change the tyre? I’m considering getting a machine to DIY

I was pleased to have found a new set of Road 6 GTs for £320, I removed my wheels and took them to my local bike mechanic for the tyres to be changed over. Mrs Sullivj kindly collected them for me whilst I was at work. I was shocked to learn that to change two tyres and disposal of the old ones was ...

Thanks Nick. It's an impressive thing to do, although I'm not sure it's for me. I think my concentration could deteriorate over such a long period.

Good luck with your adventure. Let me know when your sponsorship link goes live and I'll contribute.

Hi Nick, I noticed on your bike that you've done this at least at once before, and I see in another thread you're planning to do it again...Made me wonder if your name should actually be Captain 'Psycho'! Seriously though - 1,000 miles in 24 hours is quite some achievement. Where do you ride to cove...

Nice work SimonD.

It’s on my To Do list. How did you get the springs on and off?

Took the wheels off for a tyre change in advance of our 1st RT European Meeting.

£320 for the Road 6 GTs, plus fitting.
