No, you wouldn't find that in a supermarket, only on a good fish monger, and I wouldn't know how to cook them properly. However, I see you saved that as something which has interested you, which means I've saved a soul

Hmmmmmmm, watch out Pedro because they're moving the champions league final from Istanbul to Porto, soon you'll have Man City and Chelsea supporters invading you

First of all, I like the 'Urr? ' Lol The top one has too many wires , the bottom one with two wires looks more favourable. If you can find that connector and it turns out to be a switched-live (only shows a reading when the ignition is on ) then that could be a good one to use.

I saw that one too! didn't know wether to laugh or cry

Black gear in the sunshine isn’t my favourite. Got a grey jacket which is just right for hiding the dirt and not absorbing the heat but ended up with black trousers because one pair was hands down the best on comfort and fit. When the sunshines beating down on them the temp difference between the black trousers and the grey jacket is surprising. Really want a good quality touring jacket but went to helmet city and the best fitting jacket was a cheap LS2 so far nothing I’ve tried comes close to it, reckon fit is far more important to good functioning than any of the other bells n whistles. Still want the really badly fitting Klim one though

I was out a few weeks ago with Dipper, and was due to go out last sunday but was not well.

Don't do it like me: I load beer, wine and canned goods, which are very heavy, all on one sidecase. I then load fruit, vegetables and bread, which is very light, all on the other sidecase. I then get surprised when I get home and the bike tries to topple onto me while maneuvering inside my own garage It didn't fall down, though, but did catch me by surprise

Blimey Sir Fallsalot thats great Thankyou very much. This has been a learning curve! I’m feeling a lot less fearful of bike electrics now looking at the wiring diagrams (which is something I’d definitely normally avoid), it’s demystified things a lot

Can't imagine a belt would last long in gravel and sand, but could be wrong.

I’ve been present while one of those coffee conversations genuinely took place, I didn’t hide my thoughts and realised I’d been standing there for five minutes with my nose screwed up

If you look at this diagram (I think it's for a 600 Bandit), you will see someone has drawn two seperate red lines pointing at connectors, I believe these to be spare switched/live connectors. The one by the headlight is brown/black-white, brown is usually live on Suzuki's . I have used connectors like that on my DR650 and DR350 as a feed for accessories.

Thankyou very much. Tis appreciated.

A lot of Suzuki's have a spare switched connector somewhere , have you got a workshop manual for the bike with a wiring diagram on it ?

I've always loved the intro to that

Something more stupid than people needing to go to a bar and drink in a group? Easy enough to find: football fans celebrating Sporting's Portuguese league win a couple of days ago:

1 on.....and 6 off! Now down to 20 from 140!

Yup and me, definately not a lightweight anymore.

I don't suppose????? No.....probably not!

I like the look of having a lighter colours but in the field they're going to look like crap after a few long distance wet rides. I'm still longing for some "pants" that really are water proof and long enough for my legs.

Talk this morn of the Indian variant growing in numbers because we let loads back in without quarantining. Shit we're good at this.

My weighing scales will beg to differ

It would have incapacitated you limp wristed Hanoverians!

It's a hilltop cafe, his breathing isn't that good with his pig snout so he would probably collapse.

Really ? have come you're whinging about how poorly you are then ?

I’ll stick to the car for shopping, with the sort of riding I do the milk will end up as butter

This is the max I´ve carried from the Supermarket on both panniers, not including the fan

Fitting it on a fairing would make for a lot cleaner installation, no wires out and flapping, and just a neat little round plug. Also, you wouldn't be pulling the wires of the chargers with every right turn of the handlebars, which makes for a longer wire than you need for the straights flapping about at higher speeds. My bike has a usb port next to the instruments and I use it to charge my mobile which is on the handlebars, I don't like it as you have the plug in a fixed location and the device moving about with the steering. For niceness, either have the plug and device both fixed with the bike, or both moving together, or maybe I'm just over complicating it. I know that on my previous bike I had a tank bag and a fixed plug, and it all worked better.

That'd be a bloody close run thing in this house I've had a bike since I was 16 and was a pillion "Biker" behind older mates well before that. I've only had the wife since the age of 27 and the kids since the ages of 31 and 36, so if seniority is a factor...

but to be expected at those prices

You could be running out of people.

No!
