    She’s very errrr striking. I know Spud’s girlfriend, that’s why I took the picture.

    Honest.

  3. I've taken my car in for its first MOT.

    I've not had to do that for 40 years!

  4. Unlike Mr Deep Pockets @El Toro
    I'd a mot today on the van as usual, as it ran out on tuesday, the cost was £50.00:eek:
     
  5. It was one year ago today that my Dad died. I've been trying not to think about it too much, keeping busy, but will raise a glass later this evening.

  7. Yayyyyy…..it passed but will need a new tyre and rear brake pads before long. They also ‘suggested’ I should have the Aircon recharged. I was asked if I would like the work doing now……total cost would be in excess of £800. I declined.

    A quick check with both kwikfit and Halfords and I can get all three things done/fitted for £350, tops!
     
  8. I bought a Givi Dolomiti top box on a whim. My mates all use the mahoosive one, which looks bonkers on the bike and although I hate top boxes, thought I'd try one, as it's relatively low, like a rectangle shape, so sits lower.

    Chucked in all my stuff for the weekend easily enough.

    Pops off in two seconds, so only like a seat bag really, but no straps etc to fiddle with. Don't get me wrong, I'd look daft carrying it into a hotel, but staying in a wooden 'pod', so can whip it off, leave it there and ride without one, as preferred.

    Anyway, rambling really, but I approve and although there's no getting away from it being a box, it looks ok too.
     
  9. I used to run the Touratech top boxes on my GS’s and KTM’s. They do a large and small size, same rack, black, and dare I say they actually looked ok. I’ll dig out some pictures.

  11. I'd pass on the bottom one, but like you, not over enamoured with boxes, preferring a bag, but the Dolomiti also looks ok. I'll get some pics over the weekend, along with a tad more than the 30 miles I've done on the bike since delivery :D

  13. Few more miles on the Nsr (went without issue) then jumped on the z400 for a few miles around the back lanes.
    Trying to get a few bikes ridden while it’s not raining.

  19. Got to our dodgy campsite spot in Wales for our weekend (got a pod). Drank to excess and think I may have got married.

    As you lot know, swapped the 950s for another GS. Went for factory lowered and really enjoyed the ride down.
