Specs

I’ve just had a look and it’s the same weight as mine ffs!

It didn’t feel a lot lighter but probably moved around more in the wind. Conventional suspension so dived a bit on braking and I found that I had to mess with the suspension setting as whoever had it before me must have had a worse back than me - very soft setup causing it to wallow like an overloaded ship. Ergonomically very similar to mine although I fancied that the handlebars were a tad narrower. I liked it, but prefer mine, especially now that I’ve got a different seat.

Had the 850GSA as a loan bike earlier today. Sweet. That's Tewksbury on the River Severn.

I think that he has a hidden agenda. He hasn't found it yet.

Very true on both counts.

No. I can do you a deal though! ?

Also Newport, Bridgend and Blaenau Gwent. Only Cardiff and the Vale still free!

Nearly there.

I hope to have a couple of snaps on Friday. Will that be too late?

Mine is three years old next month, and have only managed 11k miles on it from new. I used to do that in six months. ?

Have to go to Cheltenham and Gloucester on Friday. Bike service and MOT. Have to use the dealer due to warranty. Giving me a loan bike to go to Gloucester. Hope that it's something interesting. Hope that the thought police don't stop me going through Newport on M4. Friends have had to cancel a weekend in Aberystwyth due to Bridgend County going into partial lockdown.

To be. honest I'd forgotten about it until now. Memory - fucked. ?

Not when it's moving. I dropped it today trying to park on what I thought was level enough ground. When I went to move it to a better spot the back end span round and deposited me on the ground. Bike was sat at about 45 degrees so easy enough to right it. Fortunately no damage to me or the bike. But don't tell anybody! ?

Just a quick summary. Left shoulder - fucked Right shoulder - fucked Lower back - fucked Neck/nape - fucked Knees - fucked Right ankle - fucked Left calf - fucked Right calf - fucked Eyes - fucked Teeth - fucked Left kidney - fucked Stomach - fucked Blood pressure - fucked Hearing - fucked It might have been easier to list the bits that aren't fucked.

No. I'm fucked as well.

None here.

Had my first off on a CB160. My mate's bike. Bike was ok fortunately. Gravel on a corner.

I might have whinged a little because some maniac at the helm was trying his best to destroy my damaged back! But it was only a little whinge. I did some sailing down in Pembrokeshire some time ago, maybe '12, and my back was fine. It was just after a storm with a big ground swell coming in. My gut managed to hold onto breakfast despite the fumes from the engine when we were going back onto the mooring. I freely admit that small boats and my gyroscopes don't go together.

Sacrilege!

Busy?

I think I got Apple TV free, but won't bother with this one.

I was once offered the opportunity of running a dive/angling boat on the south coast, but turned it down for that very reason @Sir Fallsalot.

You're probably right. I have some on the GS, but in deference to my back I'm afraid it will have to go. I also have a bad leg now after a clot there last Xmas. Even standing for long makes it go dead these days.

I wish that my back thought the same!
