• Glorious spin home from work yesterday (and in again this morning) on my Old Man's Scrambler.
    Also my first solo spin on a proper bike!
    He's got an SC Project full exhaust and a box of jazzy Rizoma bits (handlebar, risers, mirrors etc.) to go on it he's had gathering dust for a few months now so I'm motivated to roll my sleeves up and get those fitted asap as the current setup isn't the most comfortable...
    Also my Bell MX9 Adventure is noisy as fuck... need earplugs and a decent balaclava!

  • Nice bike and view, the scrambler is, for me, one of the nicest looking Ducati in a while.

    Boring old gipper bit;
    I don’t even ride my little c90 without earplugs, anything above 15mph (iirc) and it’s something like 100db of wind noise and you risk damaging your hearing. My dad ended up deaf from years working on building sites and it’s shit (and may increase chances of dementia). Cheap foam earplugs are fine - my bike jacket pockets and bags are stuffed with them!

  • Yeah I felt a bit stupid to be honest because I have lots of decent earplugs for drumming and playing music in general so won't be out without them again!
