That's the general idea... altho if they actually do anything is debatable. The ones on my 11 connect the front & rear engine mounts, which is also accomplished by the crankcase...
However, as all the Tsukugi parts on my bikes were free (rear-sets, fork brace, frame braces) I'm in favor of them :)

That's a fair mix of machinery there!

Weather was a bit more welcoming when I dropped in there for a coffee a couple of weeks ago.

The range of bikes was a bit less diverse in terms of tank badge, but very different in terms of age.

You would get bored if I took a pic every time I ride the bike ....... I might remember to take one tomorrow as today is the only day this week I haven’t been on one of the bikes 😉

A short but wet ride around the Peak ..... Can't believe how cold it was even with a winter coat some extra base layers would have been a benefit.

Commuted to work a few times this week on the Grom.
1. God it’s slow, but still quite fun to ride.
2. In the name of making it look better removing and replacing the tail tidy with a smaller one has made rising in the wet fun 😂😂😂😂 back gets absolutely covered in wet.
3. But it’s cost nothing In petrol so that’s a bonus.

Having had it SORN'd for the last couple of years I've blown the dust off the Thundercat* and just ridden it up to be MOT'd. Battery has stayed topped up nicely, rode wonderfully, just needed some air in the tyres. *I may photograph it later but I'm a little ashamed of how dirty it is bearing in mind it was OCDs all those years ago!

That's a hard act to follow in the clean stakes. :lol:

Visited the Kickback Custom Show at Cheltenham Town Hall yesterday. Managed to dodge most of the showers but happy to report that my bargain Richa Fullmer stayed waterproof during the short showers that caught us

@Nidge The bikes, especially the Rocket, look cool :thumbup:

While I don’t get the leather waistcoat vibe, I realise not everyone can match my sartorial elegance :mrgreen:
