As in it’s just rolled off the production line in Taiwan

Nice one @Buckster, what cigar to you partake of ?

I shall be passing Bala (in the car) next Sunday, I'll keep a look out for anyone in shorts and biker boots

Fantastic place to camp @Grasshopper's Ride, looks like you're living the dream

The SPS is a pretty rare thing Rich but I'll keep my eye out. We are actually searching for a good set of 996 forks ourselves at the moment.

I'd love to help Rich but I can confidently say that we have zero parts from Kawasaki's , Ducati parts yes but not Kwakers I'm afraid

Nice one @yen_powell, great use of the old gas holders. When we stay in London (not very often) we stay in a hotel in Gower St which is close to the post office tower, I too always expect to see the kitten clinging to it

I need a light tent as trail-riding with lots of extra weight is incompatible. My two man tent is 2.8kg , that's a good compromise for me .

420 euros doesn't sound out of the way for a comprehensive service, I suppose it depends what they did . What say you @mawsley

5.5 kgs, that's a heavy tent ?

Ah hah !! the plot thickens. You've sending DM's to @Six30 haven't you

Another example of how you've got your retirement all wrong

Years ago Fred we had to get an ambulance called to that pub as one of the riders ended up in a ditch in the forest up the road. When the ambualnce came they told him he might be charged for the ride to hospital and he made a miraculous recovery

Great report @Buckster , lovely part of the world up there

Since you ask , my wife is taking us to San Carlo's this evening.

Pleased for you Pete

Oh look ! I can almost see my house ...................

It's not everyone that can go out for a ride on two different Africa Twins in one day

Went for a walk down to the river with Paolo then had a coffee before walking back home. There are still a few bluebells hanging on ....................

She still looks a peach Fred, Tony has still got his as well

Thank you Ian, I think after walking around on one for the last 21 years I've worked that out now............

All that plumbing is hideous , I'd much rather have one of the old air-cooled Sportsters and breathe on the engine a bit

It looks very cramped but I suppose the upside is it's dead easy to get your feet down at the lights.

What’s a DM , I only know of it in terms of Doc Martens

So they had no intention of staying then Pete ? Your son sounds like a right wimp, I have a similar situation with my eldest. I haven't seen my granddaughters for nearly two years now so I really sympathise which your situation. It's worse for you and your wife though as you've had that glimmer of joy and now it looks like the fat cow will snatch it away
