Re: What did you do today?
Cleared out the garage and moved it around so it is easier to spin the bike around. I like to know who put a load of crap in there. Ups must have been me. 8 bin bags full.

Re: What did you do today?
Anybody after a second bike for winter, I can certainly recommend a BMW 310GS I’ve had mine 7 years from new, mostly winter miles, and it’s held up very well, and you can pick them up pretty cheaplyDoctor T wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2024 4:04 pm Though out the autumn and winter months I think the same. Dragging the barge out just for a coffee run. A small unfaired bike would be perfect, something like a R9. If I had the room or money to have 2 bikes it would be great. I've gone down that route before and the second bike was hardly used. But then comes spring and that's when my touring month starts. In this case a fairing is needed for those long boring motorway miles.
In your case I think a smaller bike would be better. I've done loads of test rides over the last 2 years and I still can't find a bike with a sit up position.My back wouldn't last with a lean forward handlebars. If you do look for a smaller bike go and do loads of test rides before slapping the money down. I wish you luck.

still in the garage. This time trying to find stuff I've put away. Never let a woman help with tidying up. The garage is my domain
