They've always done ir on the 650 models......which go back to 1995. It'll be funny on the ITV/MOT test when the examiner tries to get emissions readings from the dummy can. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue trolling from the anti-boxers......tell 'em @MooN. never yet seen a pretty topbox, not my fault. Even the old red and white ne I used for years on the tralp was not pretty... practical for sure, but never pretty. ( and yours is better now its all black) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 So I've just put my tent up in the garden to help this young lad out. Myself and a few of my mates are doing the same tonight and we're donating to his charity. https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/max-woosey1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I went for a beautiful ride today on Bagheera. The forest was quiet and the clouds were low and the atmosphere was magical. UNTILL........ slippy mud / loose rocks / big rock / WTF / spin around fast / oh dear fall down.....Bagheera's orange belly tells it all.... Cameras were rolling, I am looking forward to seeing the footage. Will have to do a short video for sure. Oh dear, a few things are bent and I don't think I will be shifting with this shifter.....forest side repair time. At least it wasn't on my new exhaust side. I am good , but I am sure I will be a bit sore later..... . That's my one fall for the year, one a year is just enough! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MooN Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Glad you're not hurt Michelle. One of the drawbacks of youtubing must be that when you do drop it, you can't play the " Nobody saw it so it doesn't count" card. Also good to see that your "significant other" or " partner" or whatever did the right thing and took pics befrore helping to pick the bike up 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Glad all the limbs are in tact They say something along the lines of “if you don’t fall you weren’t trying hard enough” don’t they, I’d stick with that Another plus of the Himalayan- stuff bends back without snapping, sometimes if you’re me multiple times without snapping on the same ride 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
