Currently on Michelin Pilot Power 2s; just about to change rear after 6K+

VERY nice. Prefer Powers to Road myself, but the Road2s look interesting.

But... The Belstaff outfits...the colours...the "Got a wet arse already" as EM arrived in only London... HA, HA, HA! It's hard work sitting in front of a map and then (sometimes) deciding not to pack the Toilet roll cover (Last trip they had a toilet roll holder). I note that they are star...

Motorway Madness

Ahem... My thanks (I think) to the Blue F800 that eventually overtook me early Wednesday Morning heading West. If you hadn't have, the pursuit car might have got me...on the other hand, if I hadn't been following, he might not have slowed beside me to point an accusing finger for several seconds bef...

I'm getting used to it. Initially felt like I needed 4 inch shorter legs and 4in longer torso/arms... Probably not helped as my arse is perhaps not as well upholstered as it might be...so I'm feeling a tad like I'm perched on a fence... It's getting better though... And will get the old one re-done ...

Ah well... My Sargent arrived yesterday (colour coded and everything)...I will use/test it in due course. I can't believe I wrote "I don't care about pillion provision" in the original post, but looking at the date of the posting 'twas shortly after a romantic trip to the Black Forest. :ro...

All done :D Including the mounting bush thingy that Bailey recommend, which was a Yamaha part with a bit of milling on something or other...looked like it needed to be done as there was a bit of chafing...all that London "off roading"... :roll: Front took a little longer to do as they didn...

Hmmm...

MC Technics' "while-u-wait" service is booked out until August! :shock:
