Sweet - enjoy!

I swap two wheelsets on my Slate - it’s very convenient. Only thing for me is each time I have to reset the brake callipers, but it’s a very small thing.

Generally people underestimate how much work bike engines and components can do and for how long. If you are focussed on resale then yes, new bike low kms, but you can pick up a slightly older bike for less. Manufacturers refresh the goodies to sell bikes. On the street ABS/Traction is helpful if you ride in cold or wet. But nothing is really necessary, even the fuel gauge (usually unreliable anyway). Buying a bike is a journey to be enjoyed. Keep us all informed about your progress - we are all rooting for you.

Nice - I had been counting the days. The KTM is already doing service. I took the Sled out for a test ride, new Ducati heated grips are wonderful, bike is as lovely as ever. It’s just waiting patiently for its all-black Zard (homologated) exhaust and cat. Due end March (yeh).

When I broke my foot and was in plaster for weeks I was really happy that a friend bought a shower chair for me. I only have a shower, no bath in my apartment. Shower chair plus a cast cover for swimming = happier life. Well, cleaner anyway.

Feel bad for Abe. I had a same conversation with Garmin; it turns out when you buy lifetime maps it means for the duration we decide to support the product, which can have the lifetime of a mayfly and there is nothing they will do, and nothing you can do except not buy another Garmin product.

Haha this I like. Unplugged

Same guy saying no to 4 day week? The guy with the Rolex? Got it.

Me too. Even though it means ice and slush and wet feet. And not because I own a Yes Typo (reason to celebrate right there). It’s just “yeh - snow!” somehow

I want to say ‚bike‘?

That would be ‘rump steak’ sir

Very nice. You can just look at it until March - that’s already cool.

Saves tax and insurance - forces me to use my bicycle or bus/train/tram if icy or far. It’s ok - the time goes fast.

Yep spot on Scrambler Desert Sled 800cc of air cooled joy

Oh it’s my 2020 1290 GT. I know the from the front the fairing makes it a bit wide and maybe ugly but it’s great protection and makes it a super comfortable ride fast or over distance. For everything else, I have my Sled (yeh)

My other bike really is a Desert Sled. I should have been riding that.

I put season plates on both my bikes 03/11 and I miss some great days like you say. The savings helps to pay for the train fares, but it’s a long wait now until spring.
