Had a short 50 miles out this morning to pick up a second inner bag for the tail pack, thought it might come in handy to have two separate compartments.

The comfort seat is ace - I'm very happy with it.

Everything I'd read on the internet said that it would be "pointless / no better than the standard seat / really uncomfortable etc.". I'm glad I took a chance as it has way more support & I'm confident it'll make a difference on long days.

I can only assume most people on the internet think a 'comfort' seat is meant to be all soft, squishy and, well, comfortable. And they're all wrong.

Just fiddling around with the dash whilst getting a few more miles on it and came across this - quite neat!

The dash navigation's ok, but I'll likely not use it, I'm quite happy with just the audio directions. I look at maps as a last resort.

Bike comes pre-loaded with Robert Fripp?! Kewl.

(I expect you know it, but if you don't...'The First Day', Fripp and Sylvian is a fave).

Not listened to it for years! Thanks

There'll be Robert and Toyah vids on there too I bet.

Oh christ I hope not...

Almost up to 1st service mileage - as confirmed to me by my phone, which my bike had apparently got in touch with.

What a time to be alive!

What kind of sorcery is that!

Heard that additional fobs are in the hundreds of pounds range, and depend on what the dealer charges you to pair it to the bike, soooo....

£14.40 inc. delivery for a fob from Aliexpress & the pairing process is in the workshop service manual. I ordered one a couple of days before going away & it arrived within a week. Took me five minutes to pair it to the bike. Yay!

Hard to tell the difference from the original one if it wasn't for a few weeks worth of wear.

I used to think you were cool... but a Mac Book!

I'm currently failing to fix it for someone.

Bit dull but I have just realised that its tyres - Bridgestone S23s - are actually wearing better than I thought they might. They're on just over 4,000 miles, the vast majority non-motorway admittedly but they both look like they've plenty of life in them yet.

Not bad for a sports tyre.
