Should have been done in 1920x for the banner shot. It's a great and original pic. You missed the scoop bud.

I can't go and stick my bike in the banner Bruce......that's forum god power trip territory.

Dont worry, as you have discovered there are only one or two here still too timid to tell you when youre being an ass. In fact Pedro delights in it. Swaggy lives for it, I've just accepted it. The list is long bud ?

and i just go with the flow :littleguy:

Nor will you have that bike long enough either tbh. You're due a change soon!

Not allowed to leave the town to visit a dealer! So no hope of that.

But realistically......where do I go from here? I want a Thumper and the only others are small ones.

A chinese bike on the banner might be too much, though.

Best weather since mid November....18c, blue skies, and no wind!

However, I was out for less than an hour because I can't leave the town perimeters. Better than nothing though!

And I still love the Beemer......no sign of it exploding yet!

I have to say Pete, some damn nice photos this time around.  Did you change something?  They seem to have more contrast, maybe it is the warm air enhancing the colours.  

or....

Maybe it is just the wake and bake talking....  ??

Excitable Canadian Warning!!  :classic_ninja:

IT SNOWED! ❄️

We only get snow once or twice a year where I live but I grew up in a very snowy place.  So I tend to get a little excited when it does snow.  ?

I might go on a bit about it today.

It's these first days of longer light, I think the light is always very cool if you have a clear sky

With the mileage I'm doing (around 1000 in nearly 5 months) it's going to take a while to wear those down.

They were basically new when I bought the bike.

I feel your pain.  I bought some tyres to repalce the Pirelli's that came with my Tenere but I want to wear out those first and with all these lockdowns I may never get to fit them  :classic_laugh:

These A41's are pretty decent though.......cos I don't do the type of stuff that you do. But I agree they don't look the part.

The upside is that when you buy a bike that the owner has fitted these to, you can be pretty sure it's never been used offroad or for anything that's going to push it hard.

As far as I can see, it was just a commuter to him. Just over 2K miles a year put on it over the course of 5 years.

No1 daughter asked me to check on her car yesterday, as it's been snowing here a bit and she doesn't take her car to Dijon with her but leaves it in the street here. 

 I went for a walk in the snow and then sent her this photo with the message;

" been to check on your car, he's much happier now..."

 I can't underrstand why she's yelling at me... ?
