XTreme

I was waiting for it!

Down to about 32 now!

Well I've been out on it.......I'll put up a short report about it.

I can't imagine it could be any worse Clive. This is my 14th Honda, but they were mainly in the 70's and 80's. Only had one outside that period which was the Transalp in 2004.

After the drama with it's predecessor I could do with some boredom Bob!

You knew how much I liked them Bob.......I nearly bought one when I got the Strom but all the second hand ones were 17" front wheels at the time. Haven't ridden it yet as it's still baking......but just sitting on it in the garage and everything just feels right.

The 650GS had 48bhp......not that I ventured into any muddy puddles obviously.

48......you all called it wrong!

And just like number 65, nobody guessed what it was in the poll. Hopefully that's going to be the only similarity to number 65......which was the worst trainwreck I've experienced in 51 years on bikes! So here it is........ Honda CB500X 2019, 15k kms / 9k miles, one owner, full main dealer service history, one year's official Honda warranty. I got a good feeling about this one......it even smells like a new bike! And in terms of size it's like a minimoto compared to the GS! I've always liked this model so I'm surprised nobody picked it! Anyway, I'll have a run on it later this evening......currently 38c so it's not an option at the moment. So do your worst......though I can't imagine I'll sustain the same amount of flak as when I bought the GS!

It's here......I'm just gagging to get out on it but it's 38c so I'm waiting till later!

Just had a call from Lorenzo......and instead of collecting the bike at 5 he's just picked it up now. So he'll be here before 4!

5 hours or so to go!

Any idea where @gymwitch is Caroline.....haven't seen her for a while?

Might be a nice touch....get a few cheerleaders as well.

Why the hell would I like Country Music.....I'm not a Redneck!

It's just generic background music Marcel......this is my kind of music.

DA is the only one who could turn this round!

Yeh......and it was the only thing that fucked worked!

No it hasn't......it always was shit!

File it under Rugged Individualism! What you say @Tym?

Unveiling this evening Marcel!

I was charging up my cam and found the vid of when the Beemer brakes were failing. So here's a couple of clips of me getting it back to the house and crossing my fingers I can stop if needed. Still managed to get a motoring offence in though......riding across the pavement.

It's Thursday you fucking idiot!
