Although our own nurse Slowly might do out of endearment for her favourite carpet makers, it is considered politically incorrect, Bob. You better not unless they’ve personally served in the army and shared horrors with you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 New lid day. Decided that I'd like a system helmet with a drop down sun visor this time. Bit of a deal at 149€ I thought. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a deal at 149€ I thought. I'm on my third one of those. I chose it because the visor opening is larger so I can see to the side better, plus when riding into very strong sunlight, that even the tinted drop down can't cope with, I can dip my head a little and use the peak as a shade. The peak does not try to rip your head off at motorway speeds either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the included pinlock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTreme Posted December 10, 2022 Author Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just got back from Albox! €250 worth in there! But apparently that's not enough so we've got to go to Baza next week! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Spent the morning washing the bike, twice! then cleaned inside the airbox, sadly I didn’t remember to buy a new air filter so gave the old one a good shake. It’s not bad but desert silt is very fine. Also cleaned inside the ecu box, which needs it after dust and rain. Still doesn’t look properly clean if you look up close though, bastard GSs are a bitch to clean properly! Now out on a short ride to buy some wine and bread and warm the bike up properly. Have my classy leather jacket so feeling very cool 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
