So, another year and another advisory for noisy exhausts but a slightly embarrassing not-quite 300 miles between MoTs ! Not a typo, yep 300 and since the last one it's had new tyres and the suspension done so I'm not going to work out the pence per mile...

Anyway, the new suspension is in, serviced and set up for me by MTS and after taking a longer way home from the MoT man, I can tell that the back is certainly higher that it used to be but it doesn't float over the bumps and now both ends are quite firm. I also seemed to have lost a lot of the feel that I used to have form both ends

Perhaps I was expecting too much as Monsters aren't really known for wafting along, the tyres are still pretty new and I'm a bit rusty - so the overall impression at the moment is that it's all a bit 'meh'. I did however get to the edge of the tyres without really pushing so maybe it is lots better and it's just me.

And that's the excuse I'll use at the weekend to get out on it !
