    Had to get out to get fags, so took the bike. Funnily enough I ended up at a petrol station 30 miles away to get them... o_O was nice to be out. On my return I noticed a wet spot on the garage floor... bugger. Front left fork seal is buggered... will have to have that fixed...

    Yep. I can't do it myself, so I hope it's not too expensive a job...

    And was amazed how simple it was compared to every other vehicle I've ever owned :)

    Won't go to the dealers mate, there's a small shop in town who could probably use the business...

    It is Tuesday of week two of our lock down and today I have done nothing. No jobs around the house or garden, nothing with by bikes, just drinking tea wtf. I did however find a picture of my 1000 vstrom and it struct me that it was very similar to my tiger sport. What do you guys think?

    Yep a quality piece of kit. I toured all over on the vstrom, including Norway back in the day. Having said that I do like the tiger triple which I think just edges it over the suzuki in the performance stakes... Both cracking bikes :):)

    Went to the shop in town today to book the bike in. He'll do both seals as a precaution and charges 30% less than the dealers. He's very happy with the business.

    Fitted the screen today after adding a decal, managed to get one crease in it and scratched the paint, but it still looks pretty good and I can redo it in the summer if I can be arsed...
