Re: *%^**!!!

For some time now we have barely watched the news but do cherry pick articles on the BBCNews website. We mute all commercials and self promotion ads plus the beginning of all programmes that spend five minutes telling you what is ‘coming up…’. We’ve been trying to rebuild two fence panels and fill i...

Re: Returning rider can it be done?

Compared to the 790/890, I thought the Transalp was a bit gutless. Very comfy but seems more of a road bike.

Bemoto. Intelligent people and helpful.
Prices certainly tolerable for an old duffer like me with two bikes.

Re: A photo you took, today

An i-phone 11. I often use the (Free) phone photo app called; ' Snapseed ' for editing. Cheers. Peter Ah right, just wondered about the distortion of the bikes image that's very evident at the wheels-axle areas, whilst the background looks pretty straight It does look a bit compressed but maybe it ...

Up to 40 it is totally silent, from 40 to 50 there is wind noise and it does increase above 50 but, for me, it doesn’t seem to get any worse, up to around motorway speeds so t...

Re: Screens - I’m confused.

Temporary update. Roads not flooded and covered in mud for the first time for ages so popped out for a quick 10 mile rural loop with the screen removed. Booming wind noise gone, just the normal noise up to 80 leptons - actually better than my old modern Triumph Bonneville was at 70. Surprising amoun...
