Sat at home with Covid. I've been feeling weak as a kitten since Wednesday. I had had a choice of 3 ride outs to go on today. I don't think I've got the strength to even hold my bike up.

... That is the only negative with the bike, I was giggling like a loon once the mileage ticked past 250 and I could open her up a bit further as even at half throttle the front end gets light :D

Bling is always good, even if it's practical

A very cold ride in to work this morning. We even had freezing fog in Warwickshire. It felt more like the start of October.

... giving it a go, but I do tend towards a torque laden engine rather than a high revving one... The only 4 cylinder bike I truly miss is the MT-10 even though it was a thirsty beast it had the low down grunt and the high end power when you wanted it. If I get room for 2 bikes in my life I will ...

... if I'm totally honest, capable? Sure! The thing is a bloody weapon! Compared with my ZX6R it was numb and dull. If you're saying the Gen 3 was even more like that then I definitely won't want one Geb3 poor build quality and beyond numb, being able to make a 200bhp + superbike boring is quite ...

... next week, I won't have too long with it but hopefully the weather will be cooperative next Tuesday (y) Fingers crossed for the weather, but even if it's not good the XR is an excellent bike in the rain. The adaptive suspension combined with the stability system is astounding, I rode mine ...

LOL, no... I (personally) think that there is more than adequate pavement width remaining in front of my bungalow. Even if any of them used mobility scooters or wheelchairs (which they don't) there is enough space. Besides which, they are hardly "hemmed in" by my bordering ...

There's plenty of room on the road. Sorry, but I disagree. If I park on the road, even tight up against the kerb, the remaining highway is too narrow for a normal car to pass comfortably*. Delivery vans, or the council bin lorry not at all without having to mount ...

... one of your pavement parkers.: So when I go there I usually park half on the road and about 2' on the pavement. That way vehicles can drive past (even the council bin lorry) and pedestrians can also walk past (albeit with only 2' of tarmac, so not side by side holding hands).

A fuel tank at 5000psi...??
And you have to sit with your balls right next to it???
Nope. No thanks. Not even if hell froze over.
You might as well just ride with a live handgrenade stuffed inside your undies.

Chicken stir-fry, and I even cooked it from scratch myself.

I enjoy cooking about as much as I would enjoy having all my teeth extracted with no anaesthetic with a rusty spoon.

... We had a company-wide business update meeting 2 days ago telling us that we've all been working hard but we're behind targets and need to work even harder. Right at the end the CEO tossed in the comment, "we're doing better than last year, just far short of our targets" before reiterating ...

... to be more resilient than a Fiat) ? I'm sure I read of a case where someone got a full refund from a car dealer when their engine went pop at 20k, even though the dealer no longer distributed for that manufacturer & it was purchased new over 3 years previously... Or maybe it was "one of ...

Then I took some of the farkles off the bike and posted them for sale on the XR forum, someone asked me what brand the GIVI top box rack was, he even typed the word GIVI in his question... I need to find some more faith in humanity because it's running out. (wait) What type of bike does that forum ...
