Showing its good side at the Gilmore Car Museum Classic MC Weekend next to Sean Barney's beautiful survivor 550k
  By the little sun and shade I see that pic was maybe taken on Saturday ?

Yes. Sean and I cruised by your shop in the afternoon but it was locked up. I was going to go to the show today, but steady rain changed my mind and I decided to head home early to get to work on the tank.

  Good call as it rained here all morning and then off and on in the afternoon. Cool,wet and gloomy and about the worst day for a high end outdoor cycle show.  Sorry we could not have hooked up for a little ride. I was down at the shop for awhile Saturday as I just broke a 1975 750F out of storage to get some miles and keep it alive.

A ride on my K6, nice country roads. Stopped by a small restaurant in a small village (Västerfärnebo) 40 km from home. Ordered a very tasty kebab plate with fries and spicy harissa..

Talk about chicken strips.
Actually it's a huge cattle ranch and they use chicken manure to fertilize the grasses, which is the only thing their cows eat, until slaughtered.

Really good looking bike in front of that small house with a colorful flag.
That bike look like a real survivor in untouched mint condition!

Out on the annual Wagon Wheel Run for Historic Motor Cycle Club of Queensland this weekend. About 20 bikes from around Central Queensland camped overnight at the Grand Hotel in the tiny community of Many Peaks.

Always something to test ;)
This time verify charging with my new gadget, voltmeter I can look at constantly while riding. There are some electrical gremlins causing charge voltage to suddenly hit 12V something from 14V. Clean connectors adjust regulator that I might replace with another stock one.

Country roads with almost no others on, more looking for animals when my eyes are not looking at the meters.

Stopped by a Pizza Kebab restaurant in a small village called Salbohed. They knew what I needed with Harissa..

That's the tasty fast food we have here ;)

I made another trip today, around 340km on the brown K2. Good opportunity to test the last adjustments.
Tasty ice-cream in Strängnäs, then continued on curvy roads and ferry at Skanssundet over Baltic sea, nice curvy roads on an island and continue to Cafe Rosenhill for a sandwich with meatballs with coffee.
