I don’t check any of that in detail. I do care if anything that needs to be done regularly takes a lot of time, as with time it’ll eventually be easier to skip it and I hate that. Also I don’t think it’s that good if you have to disassemble a lot of plastics every other oil change, the GS is great for checking valves, 10 minutes of labour to get to them. Also the clutch, but everything else is a faff. Here there are a lot of Africa Twins and other parallel twins that never had valves checked as it’s such a long process to just get to them. I hate that.

Master mechanic at work right there!

How fast is it?

You shouldn't blame yourself. Surely the urges were dormant but already present in his mind for years.

The dude sitting behind him does look a little surprised

Good, looks like a motorcycle of sorts, too!

It’s always hard when you see something like that.

Surely it’s faster than a new Challenger, now. Probably already was before.

Prowling for knights?

You’re a ray of sunshine

Visiting some clients today, and stopped by AJP to buy a brake pedal for a friend. I’ve been told of something they’ve working on for the 650, when that comes out I might buy one.

If you’ve binned a lot, maybe just compare the current bike’s weight once you fuel it up with the claimed weight for the stock one.

Would be interesting to know the difference in weight between before and after.

Does anything need to be broken in?

Nice one, took you a while to come up with that

Who?

They were probably high from your oil vapours

Oil coating makes sure it doesn’t corrode

Too much bike for you

How fixed is an oil leak that only leaks 50% of what it used to? Expert level mechanic skills!

Today me and @Sofia rode to the Algarve, to then unload a truck full of rental bikes ready for our next tour. With guys arriving from Ireland through the day tomorrow. View from the hotel room: Bikes waiting:
