Not much going on , was thinking about a qwad ride but we're having and another dump of snow at the moment...looks like it's gonna be one of those winters.

Don't know why he didn't just say ...inner fairing and a new stereo...?

Colour match ?

Ok, must have missed that detail. Three boats got caught by it, one looks fucked but the other two are save able. I am enjoying seeing how they are recovering the boats. I like every day engineering stuff like that. It’s pretty well documented on YouTube by droners. They had a Mog doing the winching yesterday

Just looked it up, this is the one.

I saw some pictures somewhere of a sinkhole opening under a canal with a narrow boat stuck in the hole.

Don’t think so just the embankment gave way. Looked very dramatic when it happened lucky there were no casualties.

I knew it'd only be a matter of time before our resident Peanut Gallery piped up w/ a wise crack... The stretch of tarmac I did that on was pretty damn flat, I'll have you know. It was an old favorite that I frequently took most of my bikes on...

How steep was the downhill?

Was that the one caused by a sinkhole?

Anybody else following this boat opera.

Managed to straighten the forks in between showers.

On one side anyway.

Great tune to play in your helmet while railin' the Twisties.... https://youtu.be/WmGTWR1Zdic?list=RDMM

Been to GT several times for breakfast. Always got a good stock of bikes. I had test ride on a z650rs a few years ago there. . They do good cafe food.

I'd say you scored pretty well there @boboneleg! ...Nice looking wheels.

I rarely look on Facebook marketplace for bike parts as what you usually get is just a load of old tat that no one else wants, add to that the fact that my dirt bikes are fairly rare models in the UK rarely makes me feel hopeful of finding anything decent. Last Friday in a moment of boredom I tapped in Suzuki DR650 and came across a set of wheels. After the initial surprise I looked closer at the photos to confirm that they'd fit my bike and they looked in very good condition. I contacted the seller and after a bit of back and forth I arranged to go and collect them today. The seller works in GT motorcycles in Plymouth , a dealer that I'd never been to but I was pleasantly surprised to find a modern showroom with all sorts of makes. Anyway I collected the wheels from another worker (the seller was out on the road) , put them in the van and then went for breakfast in their cafe called Legends. I wasn't keen on the beans ( I should have asked if I could have mushrooms instead) but it filled a spot and then I had a mooch around the showrooms ..... I tried out a Transalp for size, it didn't seem too heavy and I could flat foot it so that could be an option in the future. I also took a photo of this for @Saul in case he wonders what they're meant to look like without being dropped every week ...... As for the wheels, well what can I say . I reckon I've got an absolute bargain. They look like they've never been used , the front disc bolts still had the PDI paint on them and they came with a Warp9 double bearing sprocket holder, new poly bush dampers and an unused speedo housing. I'm well chuffed to say the least

It's nice to see you're not letting fame change you, Bob!

Well three of us popped up on you tube anyway

Blimey Dave, I thought mine was out there but that takes the biscuit
