Re: GS, GSA VS RT

If the AI images are at all accurate it could actually look good, although I’ve seen the GS in the flesh and it didn’t do it for me.

Either way, short of a lottery win, I’m not in the market for one.

Re: Survey of RT mileages

Just updated to 37,000 on my 2018. My wife recently commented that I’m using the RT far more than my previous ST1300…. working it out (and including 2 Covid years with lockdowns) I’m putting about 7,000 a year on the bike.

Re: What did you do today?

How about something more simple like an older R100R?
Light, cheap, easy to work on, and more than capable of a Sunday morning jolly for the two of you… and may be an appreciating classic.

Re: Tempus fugit…2025 trip

This is only the first draft, and I do understand as to the last minute changes :-D We did a 5 week tour in the EU a few years ago, all accommodation booked months in advance and sat-nav loaded, then at 10.30pm on the last night (before we left at 3am the following morning) my wife decided she didn’...

Nope, borrowed my neighbours spiking ‘lawnmower’ type thing, it still raised a sweat though.

Tempus fugit…2025 trip

My wife had to attend our local Health Centre recently, and got chatting to a very nice nurse who’s just returned from a holiday in Albania. When she got home she dropped the inevitable “Can we go via Albania on our trip next year?” So, for the next few months she’ll be looking at places to visit, a...

Re: Hand signals?!

It's mostly the hipster sports riders that do that. Usually a peace sign upside down. If you can't be bothered to nod or wave, you get nowhere with me. From personal experience on our trips the hand signal as you describe it is something I’ve seen numerous riders do especially in France… Italians a...

Re: What did you do today?

There’s some lovely roads near Melton Mowbray, I used the cafe at the park as a meet point on the MAC courses.

Still don’t like the pork pies though…
