Nice. Instead of, or as well as a boxer?

R1200GS TC. Triple Black. It has to go sadly...

You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.

Boxer went a while ago and have been riding 1300 GT which i am keeping as can't find anything i want to change it for. Did I think of R9T but bit out of price range.

Aye, I was thinking that, matt paint is the new gloss. most manufacturers are doing it. It looks cool but I can tell you now it ain`t durable. It does not have the protective lacquer coats. My matt bike was a pita showing the slightest scruff or greasy paw mark.

lovely bike enjoy it. Sure looks a blast to ride. :)
Fiat Panda.
Fiat Scudo (with speedblock, pipe carrier, reversing sensors, reversing camera, tow bar, some new rust and Fake Plumber logo)


started out with nothing, still have most of it left.

Had a couple of rides in the cold and damp, but not explored anywhere near the bikes or my potential.

Having no fairing is fairly comfortable,(up to about 75/80 mph), until the next day and muscles I didn't know I had were aching.

Bike laid up now as enjoying sunny Norway for a month.
