    All this test riding, then flying around on the 765 meant I haven't eaten all day :eek:

    Stamford bridge for FnC ;)
    Agh they don't open for another hour:rolleyes:

    Ok Quiche and doughnuts from Co-Op it is then, especially as they've just reduced x4 with jam in to £0.51 :yum

    Just changed out the modern clutch and brake levers that were on my T100R for the correct items. Much more in keeping with the period (and a bit more chrome doesn't hurt either :cool:). Probably replace the grips next, with the originals that came with the bike (I'll suffer the extra vibes!)

    Well "looking" you know!!! :imp:

    I find "brainwashing by Youtube" a useful tactic!
    Eventually she gets that fed up of, her words, "watching all this 5hite, just bloody buy one if that's what you want and put the cooking program back on!"

    :joy::joy:

    A proper win-win, she gets telly control and I get a new bike :blush:

    Definitely more in keeping and look far more appropriate ;)

    I had a business day in the city of Salzburg. Therefore I "beamed" me with my Rocket starting at 0530 there. After finishing my appointments I rode back home and arrived after in sum 684 kilometres at 1900 hours there. The complete day was dry! The first in the last two weeks and also the last in the upcoming days.:rolleyes: This summer is extremely wet in Austria. :(

    It's a good job you had new tyres @Markus! I hope your weather starts to pick up for you.

    @Mrs Visor:
    After this disgusting weekend it will get better.;)
    Next week we will be able to take our bikes every day for our office rides without any "washing phases" on the streets. :)
    I did 4.000 kilometres with the new tyres up to now. They perform really great!

    Maybe you should invest in a life jacket for the rain storms to be safe? :p.

    Yesterday, Helmut and I went out with two friends on a half day Magical Mystery Tour run by me. I lead the way on my Street Triple, followed by Helmut on his Tuono and our friends on their ZX6R and ZX10R. I ride with very few other people as I like to just relax and enjoy and not think about how others are riding around me, however the folk on the Kawasakis own a local riding school and in fact I was their first Mod 2 pass once they started working for themselves :).

    We had a great day out, even if I pretty much took us green laning for a mile or two after a small geographic embarrassment o_O. Someone did take a photo and a video of us all, however I have failed to secure either :(.

    So all you need now, is another bike to expand your greenlaning :blush:

    Well I may just be going to Sweet Lamb in September with Helmut (birthday gift to each other) to do a day's off-road training on a CRF250 as I enjoyed the off road Himalayan thing at the ABR so much......

    Crf250l aren't the best option, but it's better than nothing :)

    If you decide to buy at some point then just ask if you want my opinion?

    Absolutely will, thank you very much :). You're the forum off road expert in my eyes!

    I edited and removed the L as in fact don't know if it's L or R.....

    An older Crf 250x would be a better option with far better suspension ;)

    I'll be sure to let you know which variety we had.....at my skill (less) level, just getting off road and learning the very basics is what I am after....I don't think I'll be troubling Red Bull for sponsorship any time soon :p.
