Pie man

Always on the side stand, cos that's all its got very rarely remain sat on the bike when filling up.

I've started commuting again on the KTM, 50 mile round trip, been riding in 2c and the Keis heated gloves have been put to the test, pleased to report, warm and toasty. I need to get my act together, too much faffing around before and after the ride.

Applied some XCP yesterday and today rode it to work. I have decided to go back to using the bike for work, I hate being in the car, traffic on my commute is horrendous. Obviously as the days get longer and the weather starts to improve, my ride home naturally gets longer

Ah Good Ole British Standards, not to be confused with Council and Highways who have no standards

Pain in the arse if it doesn't fit or you have to return it.

I went out for two hours yesterday morning, temp was showing 6°C. I didn't need the Keis heated Gillet (which I've had for around 15 years), but the Keis heated 701s gloves were brilliant, too hot on the highest setting for me.

My wife tell me I snore like a trooper so I couldn't possibly stay in a Hostel. Anyhow, I couldn't think of anything worse than staying in one, but then again I have to sleep in the far corner of a camp site, just so others can get some sleep

I've had several pairs of custom fit ear plugs, the most comfortable ones being Auritech Custom Guards(£129), and the worst being Custom Fit Guards (£99). The Auritech ones were small and fitted within the ear, the helmet did not press against them, where as the CFG are quite filling of the ear and after time the helmet pressed against the plugs, causing pain after around 2 hrs. Now I use the Auritech Universal biker plugs. (£19.95) CFG Auritech universal

Good Evening. I hear Chester KTM & Harley Davidson along with Manchester Harley Davidson have shut shop. Not good for someone who has their bike there or farkles ready to be collected.

Grass Roots Football on Saturday followed by a walk into town, a visit to the Micropub for a couple of scoops of their finest. Sunday, Grass Roots Rugby, quarter final home game against our arch rivals. Might involve a beer or two

Good Evening We've just opened the Vino Its needed, we looked after both Granddaughters for the day today

Today I had a ride to J&S Accessories at Oakmere. Bought some bike cleaner, got home and couldn't be bothered to clean the bike Whilst on the car park, I noticed 3 cars full of plod pull up and they all headed for the cafe, it must serve some decent coffee and cake in there The Keis gilet and gloves kept me nice and warm, temp was a barmy 7ºC

I was thinking more along these lines

I prefer the Standard ones too. Not a fan of bar end mirrors, never seen the point of them.

KTM UK claim it happens to a percentage of other manufacturers therefore statistically, falls in line with other woes and try to pass it off as normal. I have pictures of the condensation affecting the display and obscuring information/safety information on the screen. Hopefully this will be resolved when it goes for a service at the end of March. Although my confidence in dealer customer service is bordering on zero.

@S-WesterlyCondensation behind the screen, just as bad on the left side. I have several pictures before and after the cooling process, now there is no condensation. @RideWithStyles typical KTM, this being my second, although no issues with the big 1290 i had. I know it hasn't been done by a power washer, I hate cleaning bikes. Only ever had a slight hose wash before applying XCP. There were no issues during last summers run out to Euroland, no issues at all. This is purely seasonal, typical condensation determined primarily by the air temperature and the relative humidity cause by the heat of the bike, oh and shite parts

A well known issue with the KTM. Several pictures have been sent over to the dealer, when I take it for a service next month I have asked them to raise a warranty claim with the manufacturer. Lets see how this goes. Emailed Several date stamped pictures of the defect, just in case they can't replicate the defect.

How do you come up with that synopsis from that photo

Love it.

I have a pair of Keis G701S Gloves. They are Brilliant and get really hot when on the high setting, I also use them with the Keis heated gilet. Well worth it in my opinion.

This reminds me of the Tree of Lost Soles (or, although in this instance ar*eholes). When I worked in Warrington, I used to pass through Woolston and the tree of Lost Soles, people would hang one shoe amongst the branches, it was quite nice to see, until the council cut it down.

I love and hate the Can bus system, all at the same time
