A RECENT ADDITION WHICH .......

is yet to get some red rim-tape...................
Last week ..........
And here in Moffat today...........
And at home................. Took the bellypan off for cleaning, and didn't bother putting it back - that exhaust is too sexy to hide.
Spur of the moment purchase - has under 3,000 miles on it.
Was out for the first "decent" run on it today, down to Moffat and back. Foly Huck! It goes at the speed of many antelopes! I was feeling it was unusually hard work, until I checked the speedo! Ve-e-ery easy to go way too fast.
Not a bike for "round the houses" - you typically want to be one ratio lower than the R1100s or R1200GS, and 1st is quite tall.
Mirrors were next to useless, but at least you could peek under your oxters if you push your elbows out - a la Bush and Blair.
Bought a couple of spacers for the mirrors - slightly better, but might have to fit "Caravan mirrors"......
