The GS occasionally produces a little pop on the overrun. The first bike I’ve had that does that. It’s kinda cute… Would piss me off if it did it all the time, mind.

They do sound good, been confirmed by a couple of biking friends “sounds so much better then the old ones”. Maybe this week I will get a friend a quite bit of road and catch some “on” the road noises. The only thing is I liked my quite old stock exhausts but replacing with them would be nearly 4x the cost… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klingelton Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Treated the bike to some new rubber today. The difference in handling is night and day. The old tyres were original to the bike 15 years ago and are looooong overdue a change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So kept busy mowed the lawn and washed the bike least it was productive. Just made a curry to end the day and wasn't far off the local curry house standard. I bought a book called the curry bible and once cracked you can pretty much make any well known curry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billy sugger Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Ridden it to St Neots, currently sat in a cafe with a bacon roll and cup of tea. One other biker here, sat outside in black and yellow textile jacket (very clean), and a helmet with magic roundabout characters on it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I love the Magic Roundabout. It got even better when I found out that they ignored the original French script and just made up a story that fitted the characters' movements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I scared our 11 month old granddaughter. She was fine all afternoon until it was time for me to leave. She was looking increasingly anxious as I put on my kit. The final straw was putting on my helmet. That freaked her out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
