What a glorious weekend.

I spent it building new garden furniture.

If you see a black chap that looks about 45 (but is in fact 60) show him a watch to get his attention :-)



I didn't notice any but then I wasn't looking out for them.

By a strange quirk, I happened to pass the Superbike Factory in Milton Keynes with about an hour slack in my schedule.

So I thought it would rude not to pop in.

I suspect the word "from" is doing quite a bit of heavy lifting in that pricing.

On my BMW, with centre stand, shaft drive, drum brake and single sided swing arm, wheel off and wheel on is a...

Tyre prices do seem to have got quite spendy recently.

Discovered that the chain monkey laser chain alignment tool that I bought about 4 years can't be used on the one bike I own with a chain.

I've only had to adjust the chain as the wheel was out for...

Oh yeah, I forgot I also have some Kriega.

Have you considered Mosko Moto? https://moskomoto.eu/collections/motorcycle-luggage

Their stuff is very impressive

I'll not dash to tax early then :-)

My Google mojo is failing me - does anyone know how much VED is going to be after 1 April for bikes over 600cc?

Currently sitting at £111.

I've found loads about the changes for cars and lots...

Lovely.

I still recall the Which Bike? "Virgin on the ridiculous" magazine picture from the launch.

You will on the down hill bits!

That'll be awesome :-)

Now discovered that the rack for the top box won't fit at the same time as any of the panniers I've got.

Might go test a K1600LT later.

Or just tax the R80RT.

Good news is that I got the...

I bought the 30l (I think) Givi one to reside in my top box when we did a 2-up trip to the Amalfi coast.

It never got used, but my logic was that if I didn't take it I'd need expansion room, and...

Love a ZXR - campaigned this one in KRC Endurance in the early to mid 2000s

Damn indeed!

I reckon if I get one of these SLC adapter plates

I've had another go and, if I scrunch my work rucksack, a https://www.over-board.co.uk/collections/waterproof-backpacks/products/ultra-light-pro-sports-waterproof-backpack-20ltr-black, I can just do...

Has that one been fitted with a plough?

For various reasons, today was the first time this year that I've ridden a bike to work.

So I got the RnineT out and discovered, much to my annoyance that my work rucksack into which my MacBook is...

The performance edition, unless I'm mistaken

There's not really an issue. I'm not particularly impressed with the way the Legend Gear bags fit on the R9T as you've got to have the pillion peg down on the right and the bag rubs against the frame...

They are - same combination

Arguably, I just don't like wearing a rucksack on the bike. The luggage is where the rucksack goes

I've got those too.

And a top box.

And a soft tail bag.

I think it's an illness.

The biggest problem with the soft bags is that the big one is 13 litres and the little one is a miniscule...

Think I've finally found some luggage for the nine T that will allow me to carry my sandwiches and won't cause the same style crime that the Givis on the Street Scrambler get accused of!
