New toy!

It's been a while but finally making some renewed progress

Motorbikes and cycling France top to bottom has taken away from the garage time, however back on track hopefully!

Trim going back on and windows going back in.

Noticed some scratches in the glass but should polish out ok, it's the original glass but think they might have got damaged in storage. 

I did notice the packaging label on the trim box which has 2008 on it, which shows just how long the project is taking!

Have made a commitment to get back on the road for next year- might even have it ready for a drive down to Volksworld

2.5 hr delays on the Eurostar today

Resulted in some if this:

Whilst waiting for the ride home 

A post from the top of Stelvio Pass

Just ridden up Stelvio on the CBR600RR, simply an amazing experience- biking Mecca 

CBR600RR touring edition....

Whilst I am sure some would think slightly  mad I have done a reasonable amount of touring on it. Last year down through France and into Spain. 

This year another trip planned, and thought it was time to make the pannier install better. 

Using a cheapo rentec carrier which is only installed when carrying luggage have welded on some extra bars to prevent the panniers rubbing on the paintwork. 

The panniers mount on bars off the rear foot pegs and again are only in place when carrying the luggage. 

Using cheapo B&Q tubing welded them up and a quick cost of aerosol paint and voila!

Hoping to change the bike next year for a GS always wanted one, and as such probably the last time I will use the carrier so haven't been too precious about the finish. 

Suzuki V Strom 1000

This surprised me today, went into Orwells to pick up some new waterproofs and spotted the new v strom, looked so much better in the flesh.
