I used to think the Yam speedblock thing worked on any bike.

I was wrong.

Really like the engineering and design of that............apart from the exhausts.
They would be better going forward, cross and under the bike and up through the swingarm, imo

Tone it down a bit (lose the blue basically!) and I think I'd quite like it.

Million mile (almost ish) Guzzi Stelvio

First time i took Mrs Y she asked what she could take, so I passed her one of the Oxford panniers.
So she asked again.

I said she could take anything she liked, as long as it fit in 1 pannier ;)

She managed :D
