What the feck have you done today?

Trivia fact of the day: the R1300GS is actually lighter with a shorter wheelbase than the Guzzi V100 Stelvio. It is not svelte though. Like @Exige it is 1 metre wide.
He doesn't have an R1300GS - he has the porky Adventure model....... 👀


The BMW R 1300 GS Adventure weighs more than the Moto Guzzi Stelvio. The BMW R 1300 GSA has a fully fueled wet weight of 269 kg (593 lbs), while the Moto Guzzi Stelvio has a wet weight of 246 kg (542 lbs), making the BMW roughly 23 kg (51 lbs) heavier - that the difference of 1 Gimlet...
 
…was in France, with a few bevvies in me (ahem) and all went dark !
Was working at Sun Alliance in the IT department then (we were in the basement so used to it being dark) - they threw a BBQ out on the terrace out the back of the office....quite good....this one fucking sucked ass though. Bristol gridlocked as everyone headed up to clifton/suspension bridge to watch the shitness....personally i we looked out the rooflight in the loft.
 
Today i just went outside to put the rubbish out and it was like walking into a fucking oven, they, you know they:unsure: are saying it's going to be the hottest day this summer. Even though i cant ride the bike at the moment because of my fucking ankle i wouldn't go out, silly hot!!🥵
 
Went to Hall Brothers on Carnaby Industrial estate to buy a new helmet.
They have bike night Thursday and bike days Saturday and Sunday
They have an interesting bike collection on display
This i thought was a nice bobber and would suit Gimlet when he gets rid of that Devil
Its powered by a Kawasaki 1300/6

I see you have been paying attention to my photography tutorials!
 
Just paid for the Africa Twin and lots of accessories 🥵 and it's raining every day next week 👀pick the bike up next Friday 🥳

Ordered loads of accessories but from Doble Honda as they did a better deal.

Padgett's wanted £850 to fit anyway so will do them myself - first service booked for the earliest date they had (22nd Sept)

Top Box on back order until Mid October, waiting on current stock info on the rest...
 
The bitch is mad of sugar and will melt in the rain.. exi that is .. and possibly the honda...
I am rather sweet 😇- the build quality on the Honda is top notch - I checked that 5 year old one out and it just looked like it had come from the factory - apart from the common issue of paint cracking where the accessory engine mounts and the skid pan mount. Tinternet mainly puts this down to brittle paint on the white frame models but I saw a black frame model like mine with the same. I think it is down to main dealer monkeys over tightening the bolts and cracking the paint, which then lets moisture in and ends up with 50p sized circles of rust in these areas 🤷‍♂️

I will use a lower torque than the recommended on these and more thread lock which should help........... 👀

Did they throw in a free elderly person's hemorrhoid cushion and complementary set of nose tweezers as well?
You see the pattern emerging here: top-box, automatic transmission, comfy seat.... 👀

Don't be silly. We don't have Patisseries in Consett. You only get those in York. We have Greggs and Whetherspoons.
