Well -after a good 300 mile run yesterday to Stirling/Loch Lomond/Inveraray/Oban/Tyndrum/Crieff/Knockhill and home, with Yogi Bear and his cousin - on my GS................

I think the biking year is finished for me (work etc will prevent any more runs soon)

So - The bikes are cleaned and put away until March, I think...............

Your pic's are awfey BIG laddie I post mine to myself from my camara and when it asks if i want to make my pic's smaller i click the radio button 'yes' then transfer from my in-tray to photobucket, etc. This makes them more viewer friendly Just saying.

Fits in my screen - at 100%.............

Are you sure you don't have yours set at 125% or higher?

Al

Year might be over for some , but its only just beginning for me, down to Portugal on Thursday and yes we had our second frost on Friday morning Sounded like a good run and a crackin day for it too.

Aye - it's so cold these mornings - you could lose your bearings, Chris

Reckon the tunnel will be mucho-busy, with Brittany Ferries on strike.

Nope. This a 22" HDMI monitor and I have to shrink 'em down to 50% to see 'em

Who's is the dynamag shod R1?

Very, Very tastey looking bike with all the rights bits on it. And in the nice speed block colours.

Err, it's Al's , and you're right, it's not bad.

Very nice did you buy it like that or have you shelled out the (not so) small fortune to get it up to this spec? I bet that's quick and must handle almost telepathically!!

Sorry I mis-read your 1st post I though you were on a GS!!

If I see this (there can't be many-IF any) similar bikes certainly not in Scotland I'll come and say hi!! Same if you see the humbug bike parked up anywhere!!

Well very nice i must say

I think Al has just earned himself a new nicknane "moneybags"

That is one sweet R1

Not at all

If I told you that the bike owes me about £8,500 (inc bike) to get it where it is today? If I sold off the old forks/shock/wheels - I could recoup about £600 of that.

Now done 9,000 miles (7,000 by me).

Al

One sweet bike for that

Only winding you up, like they say there's no pockets in a shroud[spilin]

Enjoy it Dai

8 of my mates are in the Picos and due to return by Brittany ferries on thursday, I've just called them to give them the news, they are told to ride to calais where other companies will honour their tickets thats a 971 mile trip from where they are right now

Just had the same issue with Brittany Ferries last Friday night, should have been on the Caen - Portsmouth overnight crossing, cancelled due to industrial action !

Hotel over night then a Le Mans style start (at least 10 bikes) from the hotel heading up to Calais and then Dover to home on the Saturday.

Quite a long ride that was, but not too many complaints from the missus on the back of the GS
