XTreme

Is it worth more Tym?

The screen is something I haven't mentioned before Rog......cos I was too busy mentioning other things! Anyway.....as you can see it's got a very small screen......my first thought when I got it was that I'll have to get a decent sized one. Well I rode back on the Motorway and it was a more pleasant experience than riding up there on the Strom with the much higher screen. With the Strom there was always turbulence and buffeting.......but with that little thing it was so much better. There was no turbulence on my head and not even any strain on my neck despite the screen being small. I gotta hand it to the Germans......they really know their shit on aerodynamics, handling, braking (despite only one front disc), fuel consumption, and comfort. It remains to be seen whether they know their shit on the other aspects.....time will tell whether I'll get the peace of mind on this that I would with a Jap.

But what about Farkles?

Brilliant Tym! You need to get the Cam on next time so we can all get the Tomos experience.

We need a Ride Report! As for BOTM......the Billy No Mates Strom has gone (it never got one vote) and the Dark Motorcycling Beemer is now in the picture! Watch this space!

You think it's likely Clive?

Come on then......somebody must be doing something?

It's going! I'll fill it and spray it though in case I ever need to use it. I couldn't take the one off the Strom because they'd wired it in to the brake lights. This is what it looks like now......it's starting to come together!

That one doesn't have another Shad Plate underneath it like mine......and it's not elevated.

There's a certain knack to it.........which is beyond normal human thought processes! I've always preferred Givi......no stupid rituals or YouTube tutorials needed on them!

But you can still go to work though can't you Fred?

I got it by following this!

Thanks Fred......but no good it won't budge!

OK......figured the way forward to get it looking better.....but I've found another obstacle! I can't get the bloody box off! It's weird cos there's a Shad plate mounted where it should be......but the box isn't even mounted on it. It seems more like the plate is part of the box and it's mounted on four legs! Surely it can't be that you have to dismantle the whole thing to release the box?

Weather looking very good here....... Bike looking very good too......still more detailing to do but that'll be an ongoing thing. Trying to get everything as I want it in one hit will kill me at my age! So I'm going to be Styling and Profiling.......no idea where at the moment though. The Dark Motorcycling locations are a fair distance away......so those are for later on in the year. What you got planned?

And I remember all too well your compulsive cleaning Lyn!

That's it Lyn......I'm hounded across the internet by these bellends!

But I put my helmet in it!

I was thinking plastic filler and plastic spray?

Great to see you Lyn! You'll know most of these twats already!

Some of the scratches are quite deep......and they're literally on all sides of the box! Any advice on tidying that up?

Check the DNA.......you're bang to rights Clive!

@Sir Fallsalot @Specs..........we got a fucking Hanoverian starting here!
