On the Dakar, both them and Hero seem to gave competent proper looking bikes.

This looks like a chinese bike up close, in a bad way.

i thought it’s cool you ride it in those conditions, too.

I voted for Clive, as I don’t vote for myself. Congrat to Saul, riding in that cold.

Don’t know what for, but my hometown’s biggest bakery runs three or four electric kangoos for delivering bread all around. They must be ok for inside town use.

I voted for the Hayabusa

Not even trying

My girlfriend used to wear glasses and she did do ok with 100% Accuri, the OTG version. These are motocross goggles, so might or night not go with the styling you want.

They’re monochrome pieces, so a good guy will sand them all down, do the stripes and artwork, and apply proper gloss on top, if they do the tank’s gloss as well you’ll have color tone and finish matching tank and mudguard, and way better than stock overall finish. It’s probably going to cost as much more in proportion to the better it looks than what you get by replacing a sticker. I’d like a classic looking bike or a Harley for this alone, a GS doesn’t quite suit the nice paintwork that goes well with bikes like these.

Center of the front mudguard, like a bonnet symbol on cars, and mainly on the side black battery covers.

Which is yourscolour scheme?

Indeed, but I took the din socket out for USB, much more convenient for the phone which I frequently use. And also Nippy Normans were idiots about the shipping last time I ordered stuff from them.

Hand drawn pinstripes by one of the many hotrod guys you have there. It’s what will make yours distinct to others, and british.

Thing is, I want something to carry around on the bike without worrying about it, and have it available for when I get a puncture somewhere remote. I like that, but won’t order stuff from the US, it’s a faff to get them out of customs sometimes. Will look into it.

Unstick those stickers and have someone pinstripe it. It’ll look proper on that bike.

I want a tiny tire pump to carry on the bike, to use only for flats instead of frequent use. It has to have clamps to be powered straight from the battery, and small trumps pretty and well finished. Any recommendations on something you can rely on?

If only you had a nice BMW

Is that Murphy’s cousin?

They need to mentally prepare for possible complaints

Grass fed donkey, though

A favourite, using Alentejo blood sausage and herbs from my garden. proper cozy food for a cold January dinner

Gemelli a la putanesca, but with capers, so maybe pizzaiolo instead Capers preserved just in sea salt, not in brine. Properly nice.

Whenever I fit a harder mixed use tire it seems to be raining for the first 500 kms
