Took Deb out for dinner. Very nice pub & a very nice meal.
Then drove over to one of our local gun clubs to have a look. They've bult a new club house & built new clay shooting stands & altered others.
They've also got a very nice cafe, where I could have got two all day breakfasts for the price I paid for one of the meals in the pub! 
(I've logged it in the mental microwave for future reference.  )
However the main reason I wanted to go was check out the new rifle ranges they've built, in particular, the air rifle range.
I'm not using the shotgun as much now, as the two lads I used to go with don't shoot any more & it's not so much fun on my own. Deb will come with me & release the clays, but it ain't the same.
She will use the shotgun but it is a bit heavy for her & she complains about a sore shoulder after a dozen cartridges or so. 
Anyway, an air rifle seems to be a good idea/compromise, not only could Deb use it but the grandkids could too. 
Decisions, decisions. Sell/part exchange the shotgun & buy an air rifle or keep the shotgun & buy an air rifle? 
The lad in the shop mentioned an Air Arms S510 (.177) as a good range rifle, he also said it would be good for pointing at the rat(s) under my decking. 
Anyone (Doc) with knowledge of such things please feel free to advise. 
 

I emailed Mark (I was a bit long winded) reference a foot peg lowering kit for my bike, I explained that I would like them as quick as possible because I wanted them fitted before I have an operation.

Well, Mark didn't disappoint as they arrived today, faster than expected. I couldn't be more happy with Cymarc and would recommend to anybody. Thank you Mark if you see this. 

Yep! Front mudguard extender is well worth fitting. 
I fitted 25mm risers on mine & pulled the bars back a little. All helps the old bone & muscles to cope.   

If it works, it works! 
Don't forget the mirrors can make a bit of difference & fitting extenders to mine helped a little bit. Plus your helmet can be a problem. Try filling the void around the neck with a scarf or similar & keep your visor closed. Not saying it will help any more but always worth a try. 

Been trying to sort out my 800RE's screen woes. Standard was just too noisy, even with ear plugs. Standard with a deflector thingy was better but still not great. Tried raising (and lowering) it with an AliExpress bracket https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007712493775.html?. Also bought a cheapish Aliexpress screen jobby https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009812018198.html? (iirc it was about 35 quid, is 46cm tall and took about a week to arrive). Again, an incremental improvement. This one is too narrow at the top to take the same deflector but I had a wee one on a shelf so popped that on and again better.
On my 650 I'd used a multi-screen arrangement touring Spain and Portugal so thought I'd have a play about with the two screens I now have. Many big bolts and rubber spacers later trying to get some angle and some air up between the screens, arrived at this solution. Tested and working well up to an indicated 90 (on a private test track, obviously).
Probably should have just bought an Airflow but they are pricey and didn't get on with mine on the 650 (found it made the front end a little skittish at speed).
