Since it was a lovely day and like a good boy I've finished my painting,I gave the three chainsaw engines a run out.

I went initially to pray for all the poor non Kawasaki owners,especially those with Homdas or topboxes,but the place was closed,so I took that as a sign there's no help for them until they repent of their perverted ways. :silent:

They slammed the doors as the cloud of smoke approached and told the congregation to sit quietly until the evil had passed. :lol:

Would a man,such as yourself in his senior years,not prefer a set of handlebars a little more upright?

Yeah maybe. A five gallon tank is useful though.

It’s experimental at the moment. Did about thirty miles without getting a sore back or arms.

I called round at one of my mates & we fitted some tank grips to the Street Triple.Amongst other things he's got this big Foff V-twin Yamaha,I'd never seen one before he bought it,I think it's called a Roadstar,it dwarfs his XJR1300 :wtf:

Image

I went to fill up the Streety,the petrol station's only a couple of miles away but somehow by the time I'd got back home I'd covered 20 miles. :thumbup:

Image

It's getting windy around here & no doubt there'll be lots of leaves on the floor by tomorrow so I made the most of the conditions,soon be winter...

It says “Wild Star” on the tank.

Not quite as bad as Drag Star!

Had a morning out on the motorcycle, forecast being a bit rubbish for the afternoon.

Definitely the last ride this year with vented gear.

Up to 200 miles of running in now. I went out with a biking buddy who has just picked up a new BMW R1250RR. I started a game of My Bike Top Trumps and got my ass kicked in a about 30 seconds. He’s got an adaptive headlight etc etc etc etc etc. Don’t ever let anyone start taking you on a guided tour through the BMW rider display, not while the roads are dry. We had a great day and stopped in Midhurst for coffee and cake and then on to Goodwood.

Keys!

That's a bit council. Om my BMW the only time you put a key in lock is to remove the seat or open the panniers.
