What did you do to your bike today???

Im not gonna brag, but i did about 80 on the mway

On the other roads, i tend to keep to the limits mostly, have just done 40 in a 30 and got overtaken by a bmw bike, personally, i think thats a bit excessive when the scouts are all over doing orienteering

I may change my mind when i get a bit less shit

 

You'll deffo change your mind once you get fully used to it. It nearly does that in first..

 

I cried inside.

 

oh, i know, i still think that ill exercise a degree of sensibleness, although i do get lairy in my cars, but still, not in a residential 30 at 4pm on a sunday

if the car is anything to go by, ill probably take a good year before i get to feel the same on the bike as in the car. Im still making errors from lack of experience on the bike. I have started setting off from lights fast, childish, but it feels great (as long as i lean forwards)

 

Oh, and the blade hidden under the dust makes me sad too, makes me want to take it home!

 

Had the RRB and the MV out today.

Now have to put my bikes to bed for the next 8 days

 

What's the story behind it? Friend?

 

It's my friends dads bike that he has just forgotten about, not much else of a story, but I want it.

 

time to start dropping hints

 

I am in love with this colour scheme

 

Thank mate, When the new tank goes on it will look even better

 

Gave the Gixxer a blow dry with this after riding home in this afternoons monsoon...

It’s bloody brilliant
Ordered Monday AM turned up today which was handy

 

This crappy weather and no bikings brought about online shopping fever ...and now I've just spotted @hitch 's blooming dryer which I'm sure I need as well now

These arrived the other day...



And I ordered another of these bad boys which came today.....as I'm beyond ecstatic with it on the sp and thought ahh life's too short so got it for the other one as well

 

Yep, the indoors does invite spending. And to think I've only snaffled a couple of grips and a rubber tube

Very interesting to see that the Translogic's strap line is: 'Performance. Comfort. Control.'

I guess that might also apply to the Oxford Base Layer top that you might model for us later. I'm sure @bazzashadow will have his 'Screen Capture' key at the ready!!

 

Who did you use for the translogic Lozzy?

 

Is that the R30 Kriega? ...that's what I use daily, bloody brilliant bag. I have my food and gym kit plus jeans in it the pockets are full of crap and it weighs a ton, yet feels comfortable and rock solid in position - good choice.

The dryer is brilliant, its a bit mesmerizing blowing all the water away - GET ONE! I think it was £51 on Amazon

Not got round to fitting my QS yet...my "garage" is too small so I have to work on the drive and as we all know this weather is sooooo bad

 

You're just going to have to bring the bike inside, the kitchen works well

Small company not far from me. Giles and Matt are absolutely brilliant. The service is second to none and both QS arrived the day after ordering. Plus they're really knowledgeable and happy to talk bike if you need to ring re any queries.

 

Yep it's the R30 I've got it for the SP as my luggage from the other won't fit because of the weight limit etc. I've got loads of really good backpacks from hiking days but they don't distribute weight well for riding so thought I'd treat myself
Defo need a dryer I'll have a look for that one...cheers...

 

It was this one...
