    Oh your poor little thin legs don’t look strong enough to support your body :cool:;)

    I was looking at the new VStrom 1000, but don’t think I could bear to part with Waspy. I’m not like Dilli who cast aside his old pal Nudger ;);)

    I got bored one night while drinking, and starting looking at eBay. The next morning I found out I bought a Mercedes that was 600 miles away (each way)

    I picked up the pannier liners that I ordered from the dealers last week. They look quite robust so should last well. :):)

    General service stuff oil, filter, plugs and motone tank pads, SKF wheel bearings, and full wide front crash bars, oh and a small pelicase [removeable] so I can take my camera and bino's and a tool kit on a trip.

    I bought me a new computer this week. Still waiting for it to come by FEDEX. I bought a tower PC to add to my entertainment center. I plan to use my flat screen for a monitor. The system also has a wireless keyboard & mouse, internet, Roko, a 600 watt surround sound, w/DVD-VHS recorder that is wired in [an old installation I did years ago.] I also bought a cheap video cam and signed up for a Zoom conference service. We tested it out Sunday morning. [using my laptop for now]. The way to keep in touch with all my old housebound friends. The computer only cost $130 since it is a remanufactured unit. Got to have fun and save money at the same time. ;) ...J.D.
