Unless you're worried about it mechanically, that's a nice way to take the biggest depreciation hit twice!

Why replace it so soon? Are you worried to have it with no warranty, it’s still low mileage. What’s a dash pod?

It's not a mechanically beautiful bike anyway, to put it gently, so might as well show that off. If you can hide it, hide it. If you can't hide it, exaggerate it

cutting a new hole and moving the door in your shed sounds like a project.

Bet it'll look smart. If you were buying it again, how much more do you think you would be happy to pay to have it looking like it does now after all the little improvements? All together, they must make a big difference in looks.

OK, 8 votes. That's a surprisingly low number considering the whining last year. The decision has been made then, unless the vote changes dramatically.

Plenty of grumps around here anyway, you do well to not be self conscious and to stay around!

It's ok, my house is at the top of the street

Thanks Saul. Took some doing to win a BOTM this year, had to go all the way to Morocco and pay a guy to walk his camels in front of my bike

So this is just a pre nomination thread thread?

Went to the supermarket just now, with no shopping bag clip or bungee on the rack. carried my groceries home on my left hand, like someone that didn’t plan ahead OR has a handbag clip installed

Came to my place for a couple of days, and finally washed all (must) of the Morocco dust and mud out my bike The house was freezing as it’s been closed for a while, am currently burning gas and wood to make it liveable

Thanks Bob, not counting my chickens though
