    I don't care to remember, it was a awful experience I wouldn't like to go through again

    I put a pair of cheap bar muffs on my commuter in winter (£20) just like the ones in the link. They have been cut to go around the mirrors but work well keeping the cold off, but I do have heated grips too.

    Currently using the Interphone Tour, the Mrs and I can communicate, listen to our own music, receive phone calls and I get the sat nav directions. The choice is ours to use or not, as and when. Sometimes I like to ride and just listen to the bike.

    70lbs lighter......that's a huge difference offroad! Most definitely and would handle better, pull from zero revs with plenty of punch and good MPG to go with it.

    Fitted the Optimate input lead and a Keis optimate heated vest lead its getting colder now.

    Thats a nice looking bike. That big single will take you on any abandoned village trail with ease.

    If you could get a replacement lock barrel I think it can be made to fit your original key as long a the key profile/fluting is the same. The tumblers are the same as fiat (If my memory serves me right) and many other makes too for that matter.

    Camberwick Green in Trumptonshire was all the rage when I was a kid. It's a shame the Long way up is on Apple TV as I find terrestrial TV just full of vapid people on vapid shows.

    Just started watching it, 2 episodes in, its far better than the shite on terrestrial tv.

    So I had Monday off. I ended up riding approx 250-60 miles, a lovely trip to Wales and back. Headed for Bala then on to Lake Vyrnwy and made a loop back to Bala then Home. Weather was fantastic as was the Ice cream at Vyrnwy. After Bala I made my way to Lake Vyrnwy, passing some miserable buggers Saw some friendly green lane and off road riders Posed for a picture some good roads back to Bala Some people even ignored me And some didnt All in all a great day

    Those things are huge! To be fair, they do look bigger in the picture, although the 40l & 36l panniers arnt that wide, total width 101cm . however my shit photography still doesn't make it anymore convincing. .

    Great pics, great phone. I have the A70 and I thought the pictures on that phone were good. I like the fact it is a dual sim phone. Work/Private without the need to carry two phones.

    That's just yuk. I use A Coolmax Helmet Liner. A great little beanie that wicks away moisture, just throw it in the wash each week.

    Because that is the specified oil grade and the bike is still in warranty. so, for now I'm sticking to the schedule - to the letter. The brand is Castrol. and it exactly matches the spec in the owners manual. JASO T 903 MA 10W/30 API SG (or higher) - its SL Strange to specify 10W30 though? And I'd have gone with Motul! Another one for Motul Although I have just stupidly paid over the odds for Yamalube for the MT07

    We’re lead by donkeys. 2020 is stuffed, I've given up for this year & planning for next I admire the OP due diligence and enthusiasm to travel abroad. I too was meant to be off over the Timmelsjoch this year. However, with all the uncertainty on travel to and from abroad, and my lack of enthusiasm to keep abreast with all the latest travel advice. I have decided to stay here and see more of the UK. Hopefully start again next year I hope you do get away and we get to read your european tour stories.

    Cats are usually nearer the engine due to the heat the need to operate at. I think it's a trend with a lot of new bikes to have huge exhausts. I found out yesterday I can replace the end can without involving the workshop or any remapping required

    Did your oiler fit on easy enough, it was just where to fit the main body that was the awkward bit for me Installation was the easy bit, finding where to put the body of the oiler was the difficult part. I ended up making a bracket and it connects the the screen fixings
  23. Pie man
    Yes totally agree.

    So you named it after a German bombing campaign? Other than that looks good Nooooo. I named it after an Austrian mountain goat, also known as an Alpine Ibex
