Pick it up tomorrow morning, couldn't get it before as I have been away in Devon (by car) to visit the descendants. The plan is to ride to my mate's house tomorrow morning, he gets on the back of my bike (which he will own by the end of the day) and we both ride to the bike shop. Then he rides the Kawasaki back and I ride the Yamaha. I have owned three Yamahas, an XS250 and two FJ1200s. Yamaha are too late, their brand perception is already slaughtered.

Here's a few shots! And I was very impressed by their trams! So I shot a vid! Can you believe they're not abandoned?

you mean they tell you to fuck off? ? Oh and if you're looking for sympathy, it's in the dictionary about half way between"shit" and "syphillis"

dunno, doc reckons I could be back at work in a week so if I can work, I can ride...

Let's see pics then Yen.....before you cover it in shit!

rode to Sens, an hour north of home for an "off road training day" 1st exercise, using the centre stand, now my bike doesnt have one ( though i've done it a million times before on previous bikes) so I used the instructors bike, GS1200. I now have a dislocated left shoulder, have ridden an hour home one handed and am now waiting for Madame Moon to come home and take me to A &E. Bugger!

Ericeira is a coastal town with a lot of weather exposure, this is a particularly nasty bike that rides daily Running, the engine sounds very much like a new bike

I'm not going to 'like' this if you don't mind Pete. I've seen enough of the inside of hospitals without you taking photos of them

if it's not tyre pressure, or wear then it's road surface I reckon.

spot on. since the back op i am not supposed to be involved in the hands on crawling around engines in bilges, but due to the covid bollocks we have no staff so it's been down to me. I have 2 fucked shoulders ( one now seriously screwed) and a hairline crack in my left knee for which I have already done an MRI scan and heve an appointment with a surgeon mid october. The latest bout of endless hours and stupid positions has the whole organism stretched to breaking point. it broke.

Not near the coast, only on the highest peaks. Here you get salt on the sea breeze ...

Im sure @Buckster would agree for the best pic nice lines are important, especially when using digital devices what do you say @Buckster ? Im sure @Buckster will be here shortly to opine on this.

I do think im sick, i spent 3 hours making sure all my soft bags had nice creases to them by using card board on the insides....

I'd say Weston Super Mare!

No bike, but got out in the truck for a bit today. Was about 35F / 1.5C today, so not a lot of riding on my part. Saw a couple of twats in a boat - had to be freezing out there...

Its OK Moon is back i seen him post on the other thread

I'm a bad boy

I think the point was that you shouldn't need strength... if you do it poperly, which I clearly didn't. odd thing is that i put me weight on the centre stand foot, my right hand on the rear grab rail of the bike and the left hand on the handlebar to steady it so when lifting, any pull or force would have been through the right hand to ppull the bike up and back, but somehow my LEFT shoulder went POP about halfway through the manouver.
