Out testing the new 690 cruise control, good chance we're the first SMCs in the country with it installed.

The good, it works well.
The bad, needs third gear and 25mph or higher.

Two KTM 690 SMC Rs take a short break, letting their cruise control cool down a bit. There license plates are obscured, strangely.

Weather is set to kill, but at least there's a breeze on the top of the Pennines

Lunch break at Bull Beck Picnic Site. If you've never been, I recommend getting a Hawaiian or double cheese burger - best we've had anywhere ❤️

Matt Caulfield of Caulfield Leather does it again! Amazing new custom covered seats, with the middles raised by about an inch for more butt padding, plus medical gel insert along the top for comfort when sat fore or aft. And, as always, they look incredible ❄️😸❤️

On our way back from the 690 SMC Rs first services. Every time we go through this new bike dance I forget how much the first service changes the ride. It could be the rider, too, not having to baby the throttle to keep the revs down.
