For a second there, I thought, that pannier is low and then realised its your end can!

I have a deep scratch on the exhaust heatguard on my Himalayan. So rather than buy another, I bought an aluminium Akropovic sticker to cover it. When I took it for its ITV, the examiner wanted to see the approval certificate for the endcan.Yorick wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 7:24 pmI only put it back on for the ITV (MOT).

Even though I showed him the purchase from Aliexpress, he still gave the endcan a good inspection.

Yup. Cleaned mine at the weekend and it was all lovely and shiny. First ride into work and it pissed down! By the time I got to work it looked as bad as it did before I cleaned it!

Weather is feeling more early April rather than mid May, it's been a shocker for weather this year thus far. Rain everyday this week

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Seriously racking up the miles this year......
3 whole miles to the MOT station!
And back!
I did less than 2000 miles on the Rockster last year... Thats shameful, will have to more this year!

Off to Czechia tomorrow. This afternoon it rained here for the first time this year. Pissed it down for two hours.
Looks like I'll be either riding behind, or just in front of, the rain tomorrow, all the way up to the Spain/France border. At least I hope I'll avoid it....

The only thing bigger than that exhaust is the chicken strips

No rain today-sunshine most of the way, although cloudy for the last 100kms
697 kms covered. Riding to meet up with mates in Vichy tomorrow, via Millau.

Re: When/Where/Pics was the last time you rode your bike ?
Today was spent mostly battering round North Wales in the company of Abel, KHH, MAC, @Beancounter and a couple of other lads. Just under 300 miles on everything from fast open sweeping roads to nadgery twists onto single lane goat tracks covered in sheep shit ….. superb fun and pleased with my riding throughout the day in some very fast company
Bit of a misty start
Soon brightened up though after a quick breakfast
Opportune place to pull in for a chat, we may have slightly obscured his view down the road
Good day had by all and took home a lot of Welsh wildlife on the front of the bike which I thought was a fair swap for the rubber left behind
There’s lovely

I remember Easter tours with some of those guys, say hello to the ones that remember me.
I have been out for the first time this year, mostly taking it easy round the lesser travelled roads of Co Durham. I've lived up this way for 15 years and found places I've never been before just by saying "I wonder what's down that road?"
