So, the old DR600S is nearing completion. All that remains is for me to order a new coil and HT leads and collect the seat from being reupholstered. New: coil and HT leads will set me back about €150 including tax and delivery whereas the reupholstered seat will set me back the princely sum of €35 from a local guy who does lovely work for not much cash. I can’t fucking wait.

When I bought the bike I said that one of the reasons for getting a GS was that the wife might be able to come out on it when she wanted. I'm in a difficult situation ( @Cliveand @Swagman know what I mean) because you can't just bugger off all day and leave them on their own. But due to her osteoarthritis she's limited as to what is comfortable for her and it needs to have excellent suspension......and in that respect it's difficult to match a Beemer. She loved Big Bird, so she may well feel the same with this one. Why this weekend? Well my boy and his family are off to the Costa del Sol for two days and taking the car, so she has to come on it to feed the horses. If it's still difficult for her then we know she'll never be able to come out on a bike for a trip. But if it's OK then she'd be able to! It could go either way. I told her that I still need to get confidence in the bike given recent events, but she said if she likes it and more problems occur then I'll just have to put it in for a newer one with lower mileage. Yeh......I could live with that! After all, at my age I'm now in The Last Chance Saloon! Live for today......because tomorrow may never come!

Actually there are only 4 and you aren’t one of them.

We made it out to do some trail riding today but without leader as he was poorly. So we downloaded the GR652 into our GPS and off we went, the main bonus was that it was nice and sunny today. and then it was time for a coffee break

Well heard back from the teutonic breack down machine.... Ignition coil on cylinder #2 wasn't clip in properly from factory and worked it self out on the rough roads... Now I'll have to do another shake down run to get my confidence back...

Whats the odds, shed love to ride pillion on a PC. Plus you could carry all the feed and hay in the trunk.

Get a Goldwing with the lounge chair in back option.

it would look better with spoke wheels

I'll win next month's with the rsv at Donnington

We then did some trails until we got down to the river Lot and then headed back to Jax Shack

Well 7 am... On the cool side.

wish i could do work and restore bikes like this , im on par with @XTreme im afraid when it comes to spanners etc looks good @Skippy

That's a bugga. I can piss off at almost any time, get more grief if she can't come (on her own bike) of course but she wouldn't stop me.

Hope she has fun, @XTreme

No fear of my wife riding again, her gear (apart from her helmet and boots) does not fit her any longer.....so any rides for me consist of a couple of hours at the most, she should have learnt to drive years ago.

Would of thought the mrs would be encouraging you to fuck off out all day on your own .

I get out for a few hours as you know, but going further afield isn't an option really. If she was able to come then it would open a whole new world.

It obviously has an identity problem, it thinks it’s a Teutonic oil belcher

Helps with being a hipster too

Does it rear steer

Too many puddle dodgers in Spain What you say @Slowlycatchymonkey

We were riding in rain for 3 days so I’m sure you know what that’s like

That's ONLY for the Lightweights Pete.....REAL riders ride Year-round!!

Should have got a Harley.

Just pulled over for the night... Its to dam hot.. Over 30 c... Few pics from the morning.. Met Pete along the way he was just standing there with a pole up his ass..
