Go big or go home. :)

My GS (delivered late May 2023) says “hold my beer”

You gotta bear in mind your propensity for changing bikes, Tony…. :)

I guess you could calculate it, Tony?

Wheelbase + (front wheel diameter/2) + (rear wheel diameter/2) + tyres (which is dependent on size/profile)

Alternatively, Google suggests the overall...

I'm on W11. My SkyGo app version is 23.6.2-23.5.1

What "does not work" about your setup?

It'll be no help to you, but mine just works. I'm watching the warm-up to the footie on my laptop while my wife watches some other carp on the telly.

It'll be worth it when you get there.

Lovely morning up in the Peak…

Yeah, I fitted the Weiser wizards to my GS. Having followed a few GS's, I'm convinced the stock turn signal/brake combo light is just flat out adding unnecessary risk.

^^^ It is a thing of beauty, no doubt about it.

The nose fairing detracts from that imo…

Green Thruxton FE for the win!

Yeah, the Beeline started life as a cycle device. As for the Beeline version 2, I'm sure it's better in some ways, but it's bigger, has half the battery life and costs more. I guess progress is...

Managed to get the newbie grubby this morning, but I reckon it will not be the last time that happens.

It’s worth it imo. I have a US10 and US20. They are really well designed and excellent quality.

I’ve tried other bags from other brands, but the Kriega bags are better imo.

Fortunately I still have this alongside the Speed Twin.

Covering all the bases.

I think I'll use the Triumph for more local stuff in N Wales and...

It’s a crap picture but the bike is pale blue. I think they had too many baja orange bikes (a matt colour that didn’t suit the Speed Twin imo) so they customised a couple.

I think this is the blue...

Collected the new steed yesterday. Delighted with it:

Yeah, much better.

Yeah, that, and the fact that for me it is a 17 minute journey from home. :)

Thanks



And thanks again.



In their defence, they also have/had a custom blue one for sale...

From November 2023...



I ended up with the R1250RS, which, as you good chaps noted at the time, worked out a bit similar to my GS. It's a great bike but... I kind of regretted not jumping in...

I have only 2 bikes but I decided to insure them separately as it seems to offer more flexibility, more opportunities to build NCD, and barely cost any more money.

I have chopped and changed...

I had mine done back in 2013/14, at around age 53. I'd had decent eyesight but found myself needing reading glasses more and more - to the point that I couldn't easily read the car instruments or...

Bloody hell. Definitely time for making the most of round two now!

Looking forward to meeting up at Hardknott Pass - which will be a piece of cake after what you've been through!
