Going to Ireland.... take waterproof jackets and trousers for off the bike ;)

Hope to be heading the same way in a fortnight or so, over to the west to see my Sister's new place :)

Enjoy the trip (thumbs)

Well I'm all packed for the off and waiting for the Mrs, no surprise there :woohoo:

It still looks like I've got mountains of shite but I know that's mostly because I cant use a tank bag on this bike and I cant put the role bag over the back seat.

I've seen more luggage on a solo trip mate, however with two people it looks like a lot for the bike. I hope it geared and suspended for the weight.

I know this is the pot calling the kettle black to but you could perhaps do with cleaning your engine, it would set off the paint job a lot better.

Have a fantastic trip, are you looking to bag some castles?
And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

After a week in Ireland, the engine will have been blasted clean :whistle:

Have fun Rich, hope your riding buddy keeps the Beemer electrics running, now he has gone upmarket ;)

Trying to convince my lady to come to Ireland in September. You can't help but notice how green it is over there...

Maybe by riding it through a ford and stopping the engine in the middle?

You miss spelt stalled :blush: She was sparkling when she grumbled out.
It's your turn to wade through next time ;)

Its surprisingly light actually and the gearing is set for a cruising speed of about 55 anyway. The shock should be alright, maybe :lol:

I should stop taking pictures of the bike from that side, its the dirtier one, the other side gout cleaned pretty well when I did stop I with the engine off in a ford, it was on its side at the time but that's something else :whistle:

Well Nikoli has his R/R fitted now and its working alright but we'll see what happens.

And if there's any castles about we'll bag them (thumbs)
