Bollocks to all this politics, you can look at my motorcycle instead! Had a little bimble over to Trebes, which is in the foothills of the Corbieres. It was slightly chilly when I set off, but it warmed up a bit on the way back. I didn't actually go into Trebes castle, I'm saving that for a visit with Mandy, and to do a bit of a walk in the gorge there too. The roads were pretty quiet once I'd got past Narbonne, so it was a nice ride.

conservatives are useless ..no backbone .... Labour are even worse , starmer dont even know the difference between a man and a women for fuck sake

I didn't know we had a new politics rule and the worst offender is the one who made the rule

Easy there bob .. you know how touchy @Sir Fallsalot is about photoshop... i talked him out of flouncing recently cause of the mocking one of his photos

You couldn't make it up could you , what a bunch of feckin incestuous w*nkers

Sir sir it was him

Six started it!

Lol. No, it's just my crappy Chinese phone doing its own thing, Bob!

None of the parties are any good.

dont need to imagine it ...

Also have a trawl around Temu, and the like, there is bound to be a suitable shroud for not much.

Lovely photos Bob, do you have @Sir Fallsalot with you as some of them look slightly photoshopped

Just seen on Twitter that the pig fucker is back!

Mature … that’s a word you won’t find in your search history .

It would seem you a hell of a lot more rumbled than zakkk too, time for a chill pill I think, we don't want this behaviour putting off the floods of new signees to the forum

And this. didnt last long.

its alway you brings it up or post's silly videos about politics

Are you still wearing the little hat with the propellor on it ?

One of my mates down in stortford has a 3d printer if needed im sure for a drink I could get him to make you something, all you'd need to do is email me over your requirements with sizes and could get something made up

No but he spent time with Elton.

I know its a faf but if it was me I'd make a cardboard shroud for it and test different sizes and shapes then once you get one that you like and that works best for you then you should be able to get something made out of plastic to your specs if there's an injection moulding place anywhere near you, or you could get a 3d printer and design a shroud so it prevents the glare

I've just installed the Tom Tom Go Ride app......I'll give that a try next time!

I think @Slowlycatchymonkey might disagree with you there!

Had to make a very minor adjustment to the position of the Quadlock mount on the support bar.....now it's lined up perfectly. Still got to try and figure out a way to make it more visible when the conditions are bright. After all, I'm never going to be out riding it when the conditions are not bright! And yes.......the screen has now been cleaned!

I spent a lot of time in a carpentry place once, and dust managed to get into my phone and make the lens dirty from the inside. It can happen.

Yes, the skies were pretty nice. It wasn't foggy, so I think that you're right, the lens on the phone was a bit grubby. Either that, or the phone camera optics don't like the vibration from the phone mount on the bars.

How long before he drops the country in the shit and does a runner.......................again?

Followed by this in honour of @Marcel's girlfriend.

Get in

I agree, when we ride we don't ride horizontally . If you have the phone in a vertical oroientation you will see your turns coming up quicker

Make it perfectly vertical, I think that might help with the glare issues.

I'm really quite excited to get out on it to see what it's like. It's no enduro bike but it should be a lot more manageable than the Rally .

Next up I needed a rack so I had somewhere to carry tools, tubes, tyre levers etc. There wasn't a great deal of choice so in the end I opted for some Chinesium from Ali Express.............. Fitting this required the removal and drilling of the rear mudguard. Very kindly Yamaha saw fit to mark where you had to drill on the underside of the guard .................... Then the spacers (supplied) were added to line up with the subframe.............. Two of the supplied bolts were not quite long enough to facilitate a locking nut underneath so I ordered some 10mm longer stainless bolts and then it was done ................
