Bike

Post by bobsnicholson »

Been out on the bike a lot recently. Can't believe the bike has nearly 3k miles on it already.

Better be careful i might get to like this biking lark.

Lol...... Reckon you done a few more than that over the Years.......I went to the bike shop earlier just to have a look and the Bloody MT wouldn't start...... had to Bump it down the road, got to the bottom and It had still not Started, so I swore a bit and it just about managed to fire on the Lecky start.......... Going to have to ride the Green thing to all my jobs now until I decide whether to Trade It or spend money on it........ Sam's not too keen as we also need a new Boiler and for some reason, It's my own money that will be used............ :(
Ok, I confess.......

Probably need 250K or more miles to wear the drive-train out.

Out on mine today.......again......got me thinking as i was riding along, what DON'T i like about this bike............... truthfully i could not come up with anything.
Not dislike but the panniers (saddlebags???) and top box are a bit smaller than the RT but i have never filled them yet anyway.
The bike has a range of 280 miles to empty.........who on earth could stay on a bike for 250/260 miles in one go anyway.
For me it's a good bike....not to others taste agree. Sports bikes do absolutely diddly shit for me so each to their own i suppose.

Awww bless him.

I was so lucky to get out to Oman just before everything locked down.

My #4 grandson really doesn’t know who I am. He was just getting used to me when I went off to Spain again. He actually came for a kiss and cuddle, I was so happy. No idea when I’ll see him next.

Are flights to Dubai cancelled? Or is quarantine on return (or there) the issue?

My friend’s son is expecting their first in Australia, but she can’t fly out. Oz are being really strict.

Same for Chris‘s Rach. She was planning Christmas in Oz with daughter and grandchildren, but unlikely to happen now.

This Christmas is going to be difficult for a lot of people 😕
