Has the paint come off the swingarm or is that dirt?

Good, honest dirt from an all year round biker. Wear it with pride.

If we ever go enduro after it's rained, we all go to the jet wash place and give them our mud

I think its so dirty because I keep going exploring dark lanes which have mud and crap all over them. So its the stupid adventure bikes fault for making me go on adventures!

Been thinking about selling it a lot lately, as I do struggle getting on and off of it and manoeuvring it across my garden etc. But once i'm on the go I really like it, like properly like it, as its a fantastic bike for me, fairly smooth, fuels well, good weather protection, economical, comfortable, just that its a bloody behmouth to move about.

I've still got the CB1000R laying about and I really liked that as it surprised me so much. I didn't expect a IL4 to be so grunty with good smooth linear power. I have more movement in my leg now and reckon I could ride it, so I had thought of putting the AT up for sale and falling back on the CB1R if it sold. But I think I know i'd regret doing so and doubt i'd keep the CB1R for any length of time and I really dont know what other bike I could have, as wanting an auto/DCT limits your choice...

It was the cleanest bike i've ever owned. It was cleaner than the ex-demo Tmax I bought a while ago. The bike clearer guy remarked at how well it came up and that it had certainly never seen hard work. I said to him that when I went to see it I couldn't relate the age of it to its condition and looking at it now, I still cant. Its almost too nice for me to ruin as an all weather hack!
